a tell-tale sign that fall has arrived is when i haul out my houndstooth jacket from storage. this beauty has been hanging in my closet close to ten years. but when i shrug it over my shoulders it’s as if i’m greeting an old friend. to be certain this blazer can double as a coat due to its warmth. so it’s the perfect choice for those days that have a nip in the air. black and white are always all right. but when you add a pop of red? the ootd has pizazz written all over it. isn’t this mini backpack in lipstick red the perfect accessory? and it’s practical to boot. the front zippered pocket is the best spot to stow my iPhone. and, yes, the red heels are back in action today. they’re a great way to amp up my monday. are you ready to start your week, ladies? let’s do this!

oooh, pink? i’m always a sucker for pink. the jacket sounds lovely! isn’t it funny how we connect with out clothes? but we do.

Houndstooth is such a favorite of mine. I have a jacket and skirt that I wear the heck out of. I like the cropped style of this one! And cute bag!
Love the leather leggings! Coupled with the houndstooth jacket make for a great outfit!
and these leather leggings are soooo versatile. dress them up or dress them down – take your pick.
