Velvet Statement

Dress - Dynamite

Cape - Splurge Boutique (shop here)

Boots - Guess

Every girl should have a couple of items in her wardrobe that make a statement. Yes, basic pieces are an essential part of a wardrobe but let's face it, who actually wants to be basic? How many holiday parties have you gone to to find all the ladies wearing black dresses. Don't be a bore! Throw on a jewel tone cape over that LBD of yours! Or wear it to the office like I did over a tweed turtleneck dress. 

Autumn Brights

 

Cape - Mango

Blouse - Banana Republic

Skirt - RW&CO

Heels - Aldo

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?
