temperamental

Being back in warmish/breezy cool (yeah, who knows) Minneapolis with the official start of fall just a couple weeks away, I'm bringing you another transitional look that has been defining my closet lately. I love wearing blazers over my summer tanks with bursts of deep fall tones.

Another favorite combination is long-sleeves with shorts, or more appropriate for work, cropped pants.


J.Crew sweater, Thakoon cropped trousers, Sam Edelman loafers, Rebecca Minkoff handbag, Essie 'Wicked,' Prism eyeglasses

I'm usually one to mix like colors; brights with brights, deep tones with other deep tones, and the same with muted colors. However, I'm loving these subdued green trousers paired with the bright bag.

The neutral sweater and shoes frame the look, while the perfect pair of specs take care of framing your eyes. Today is definitely a glasses day for me--we're completely swamped at work and I need to feel my smartest! Ha.

Loving all the entries for the Minnetonka Moccasin giveaway; I'm so excited to pick the winner sooonn!

  2. I'm craving fall weather (and thus fall clothing) like NOBODY'S BUSINESS. Ughhhh. It's so steamy here. I love those pants, and that Essie shade is one of my all-time favorites.

  7. I love cropped pants with a more fall sweater - it's a great juxtaposition and perfect for the summer to fall transition.
