Fall Butterfly

Long sleeves, fall colors, and light fabrics. This is essential dressing for LA fall. It's a mild season, but we DO have seasons out here. You just have to really REALLY pay attention to notice. :)

I'm not into the butterfly motif at all -- it smacks of fairies and fantasy -- but I just loved the colors and cut of this vintage blouse and had to get it (thrifted from Goodwill). Old suit skirt from Santee Alley; belt from Tin Box of Curious Artifacts. I've had the wedges forever and the necklace is look-a-like Van Cleef from the LA Flea Market.

This blouse gets so many compliments. I think it's the colors and fabric -- it's very soft silk and the muted brown, gray, and blue are just so lovely. I hope you find something lovely to wear today too.
Happy Monday.

Windy & Wet Fall Days

They say Los Angeles doesn't have seasons but this week it got really cool and wet. It's here - FALL! or as the anglophiles I know love to say...Autumn. This comfy chic green dress (from ModCloth) was perfect for the cool weather this week. Nice flats and a little black cardigan. I felt dressed-up but not overdressed at all. And when the weather is bad, you do not want to be wrestling with a fussy outfit or worrying about something very delicate getting ruined by rain.
What do I love wearing for fall? you ask... tights! sweaters! jackets! scarves!!!
It's time to layer and dig out those pretty coats we don't get to wear much in SoCal. Shop your closets ladies!
Have a good weekend, everyone.
