dotty, cardicoats, and coatigans

[wearing]
dress: loft
giant cardigan: cos
boots: loeffler randall

[three things]
1. Fall booooots!

2. Can I just keep the weather where it's crisp enough for big sweaters and boots, but not tights and hats?  Please, Midwest?

3. This cardigan is on the border between sweater and coat--which makes it perfect for a cold office since wearing a legit coat all day makes typing much more difficult.

dotty, crisp white, and...well, a bunch of dots.

dots top: catherine catherine malandrino
jeans: vince
flats: vince

Since any "three things" commentary would mostly be about how I managed to successfully not impale any toddlers at daycare this week while unfolding Maddie's stroller or how baby food bananas smell really good, we'll go with a little more structure for today's post.

creative: This top seems like the prefect combination of pattern and texture.  And yeah, I like me some dots.

young: This is essentially just jeans and a white top, but the longer sleeve length makes the top a bit more serious.

professional: This was a Friday outfit, but it could have been another day of the week with no client meetings since my office is pretty casual.  (Or I could just swap the jeans for some gray dress pants.)

dotty, little navy dresses, and last hurrahs

[wearing]
dress: tibi (similar)
necklace: target
flats: vince

[three things]
1. Navy!  After a few years of being particularly devoted to black dresses, wearing some blue seems like a good idea.

2. Where did my shoes go?  Oh, don't worry, they are there...they just match my skin ridiculously well.

3. I'm trying to squeeze in a last hurrah for all my Summer dresses before Fall really arrives.  I find it much harder to find dresses that work with tights and boots for some reason, so my closet definitely favors the warmer months.

dotty, fall colors, and summer nails

[wearing]
top: vince
jeans: vince
flats: vince
clutch: clare vivier
necklace: target

[three things] 
1. Oh hi, fall color!  This shirt should make a lot of appearances during pumpkin season!

2. After being pretty into dark nail colors (especially grays) it's nice to switch it up with some off-white polish for a change.  

3. I've got a long-term commitment to gray jeans.  This is my second pair and I'm hoping they end up being as prolific as my first.

dotty, tiny dots, and helmut

[wearing]
jacket: helmut lang
dress: h and m
flats: justfab

[three things]
1. This long jacket with a long dress combination definitely makes me look shorter, but you just can't look taller than you actually are every day.  And really, I'm not tall, so there's that too.

2. This jacket is pretty awesome, but oddly hard to pair with my collection of more casual-ish dresses.  Whenever I pair it with a more tailored dress it gets an 80s vibe real quick.  #cutproblems

3. Flats with tiny dots on them have gotta be one of the happiest shoes out there.
