Dear Christine,
It can no longer be avoided– fall jacket weather is definitely here to stay. I’m not totally giving in to winter yet, though. No tights until December! I’ll have made it three years in a row if I make it to December without wearing tights this year.
I’m going for it. It held in the 60s and 70s until recently, so hopefully it won’t be freezing immediately. If not, I’ll just have to wear… pants. Shocking, I know.
- Forever 21 jacket
- Forever 21 dress (similar from Missoni)
- Otrera Mayan scarf
- J.Crew belt (similar from Ann Taylor)
- ZARA quilted tote bag
- Born boots

This crazy magenta scarf goes with a surprising number of other colors. I’ve always thought it was a great fall piece, but I’m not sure Otrera is making them any more :(

Love your new outfit, My wife would definitely love a similar jacket. Item added to my wishlist.
Thanks for leaving such a darling comment on my blog!
You are so gorgeous and your outfit so absolutely stunning! Love the dress!
Have the best day ever,

Love this. And how in the world did you get such amazing photos at night? I can’t even get good ones in the late afternoon these days! – Katy
It’s getting dark far too early these days. Far, far too early. These photos were taken with a 35mm camera, which definitely helps because it picks up more detail than my APS-C. I pushed up the ISO and opened the aperture a whole lot, too. I improved my night photography through good old trial and error and I still think that’s the best way!
love this outfit! and the combo of scarf with the dress. you look lovely.
Haha, I’m betting it’s warmer here in CA than it is in NYC, but I’ve already pulled out tights a couple of times. I am not one to put up with even the slightest bit of cold without lots of complaining/huddling, so it’s really for the best. Anyway, I love this whole look! The shape of the boots, the way the scarf and dress go together.
Alexandra,
I love this medley of prints and textures. It is chic and very lovely.
I did the unthinkable today– I wore trousers, and tights– EEEK? Winter must be here.:(

I love the dress and scarf combo, and knee high boots are always good to keep a little more warm sans tights.
I’ve been avoiding them as well, however I’ve been wearing lots of pants. lots and lots.
Once it drops to the 40s I think I might need pants. Not looking forward to it. Although I do like my winter coats. Wool coat and bare legs? Or just too silly?
I love the whole look esp. the dress! Gorgeous print, very warm. Love that scarf too!
Lets hope it stays in the 60’s
It’s already dropped to 50s here. And cloudy. It honestly looks like snow today… almost wish it would– at least it would be fun instead of so gloomy!
I love this whole entire look
Just fabulous
Brett
