fall re-fresh

i have been seriously tempted by all of fall's vibrant colors and plush textures, but right now busy schedules and hot temps have made those purchases even more frivolous.  so what's a girl to do?  focus on the basics!  

classic shapes and quality fabric/fit elevate any outfit.  i splurged on 2 new pair of jeans that fit amazingly and i am certain to be wearing all of fall/winter/and beyond.

jbrand maria's

Rag & Bone elephant bell's

this denim does the job and doesn't need anything else other than a crisp white shirt.  instant chic.

BUT you can't always forget the funky things...so i also left M street with a pair of these:

Steve Madden MADEE

obsessed already - i've worn them 3 days in a row.  so comfortable and add the "something special" to my basic b&w work ensembles.
