Sometimes, a coffee chat turns into a mini photo shoot. Sometimes, you just can't control your hair in the wind. And sometimes, those both happen at the same time.

On another note, as Fall tends to be the season where fashion gets a little darker, I am struggling with letting go of bright hues. Do I really I have to dress in a certain colour palette because the temperatures have dropped? Shouldn't the concern just be with whether I'm warm enough?

What are your thoughts, friends?

Matrix meets Miami Vice

Vest - Forever 21

Shoes - BCBG

Necklace - Splurge - here

One of the cons of such a short Summer season is that you don't always get to repeat-wear some items you were excited about. This ice blue vest was one of them. I felt pretty matrix-y while my vest tail slapped passerbys and so I am determined to not let the end of warmth stop be from channeling Keanu Reeves. I'm thinking turtleneck combo? 

In other exciting news, this choker pearl combo is now on sale for only $16!

Bracelet - Coach

Every girl has that too short, too tight dress hanging in their closet that was purchased in a "I'm gonna rule the world" whim. Then you realize you're 27 and if you can't wear it to work then it probably also won't go with your sweats which means it'll never get worn. That's when you know it's time to get creative and just throw on a skirt over that dress and call it a day! 

What's even better? It's also a built in slip for that slightly sheer skirt. Wam bam thank you ma'am.

Necklace - Tiffany & Co.

Top - Club Monaco

Pants - Club Monaco

Heels - Christian Louboutin 

Sometimes you just need a little reminder that everything will be ok. And athough wrinkles worry me, I can't help but smile when I look down and see this bracelet. So while other people may opt for the "breathe" wrist tattoo, I'm more than happy with my Gladia bracelet :)

Top - Club Monaco

Skirt - Forever 21

Heels - Aldo

Choker - Splurge Boutique - here and only $6!

There are a lot of things that I am into in this outfit. I love pairing heather grey with light pink. It makes me feel like a bunny and I'm all for it. The Ariana Grande inspired hair is definitely supporting the bunny vibe. 

The colour palette combined with the high waisted skirt and top is also giving me a Kardashian vibe. Not the version of Kim Kardashian who wears weird unflattering items because they're "fashion forward" but the immediate post-Kanye Kim who was all minimalist and cool. You know the one.

And lastly, I have been obsessed with chokers lately and this one is only $6! How can you say no?!
