Forced into Fall

I'm not totally ready for summer to be over - we've had a really mild summer in D.C., making this Idaho girl really happy. But…the other day at work I spilled coffee right down my front. It was bad enough that I couldn't go all day looking like a total idiot. Thankfully we've got a lot of retail by my office and I made a quick trip to J. Crew to find something to put on. Instead of buying any random top, I decided I'd rather find something I really liked. Thankfully it wasn't a scorching hot August day because I walked out with this. It was just the thing to get me excited for Fall attire.

The shirt is party in front, business in the back. I love the mix of knit and shirting fabric. They call it a "mixed media" sweater. I know I'll be getting a ton of wear out of this come fall. It's the perfect transition piece. I'm already planning an outfit with boyfriend jeans and a pair of loafers. It comes in two other colors if this combo isn't your bag. 

I guess spilling coffee all over myself wasn't so bad after all.
