Grandma Sweater Weather

I love when the seasons slowly begin to change and the air becomes crisp with the smell of fall. There is a magical time between summer and fall when there is no need for a coat, but a shirt is just not enough. I kept hearing my neighbors and close friends say that this is their favorite season in NY and I now know why. It is the best time to go out shopping, take a walk with the dog, and go for an adventure in a new neighborhood.



In the past I had troubles with layering, I always felt like I didn't have enough time while getting ready to think about all scenarios for my outfit (i.e. what if we go grab a drink and the restaurant is hot or what if this 'grandma' sweater isn't cute enough for where we are going?). But as I got more comfortable adding pieces to my outfit the art of layering became easier. I learned its not about where you are going, but how you feel. I like feeling like I rolled out of bed in my sweater, but cute when I take it off and have just a shirt on. Practice layering, there is no right or wrong way and that is the fun of it!



Just like my love for shoes I have a love for handbags and I find myself getting into a habit of grabbing the last bag I put my wallet and keys in. I finally switched out my mulberry bag (see my last three posts here, here & here) for my balenciaga one. I love the effortless look it has.

I love pairing a silly sweatshirt (like this one from American Eagle) to make a weekend outfit more fun. I think this may be one of the last days that I can wear a sweater without a coat. I found this amazing skirt at the Joie friends and family sale this weekend - I only took it off once!

Peplum Tops

You honestly cannot go wrong with a Peplum Top, it can give curves in a place where there is none and turn your figure into the perfect hourglass. I love the way it turns a simple sweater into a piece that is more playful and flirty.


My tibi mules have been a staple in my closet and I am wearing them to death this fall. They are a great shoe to grab and go and can handle the New York City cobblestone streets. I love adding a bright colored bag to a basic outfit of black and white tones, which seems to be my go-to colors for fall.
