What I Wore: Bring It, Indian Summer

I'll spare you the preface that I've got an obsession with all things poncho, cape, long vest...I think we're beyond that point in our digital relationship. Last week we were having a bit of a crazy Indian Summer. And let's be real, at this point we're all tired of our summer clothes and have a serious hankering for layers, knits, and boots...so 80 degrees doesn't have the same allure as it might in the Spring.

 

But give me a wardrobe challenge and I'm equal to the task. White denim after Labor Day? Bring it. Knit hooded poncho for warm weather? Done.  



 

 

You'll definitely be seeing this again (okay, a lot) this winter. 

 

What I Wore: White After Labor Day

Disclaimer: If wearing white after Labor Day gives you cold sweats, do not read this post.

Okay, down to business. I wanted to get a few last wears out of my white jeans before winter sets in. And, truth be told, you can successfully wear white after Labor Day - it's all about execution. For casual Friday I went with a neutral palette - including a grey cashmere crewneck from Uniqlo, a grey Zara wool vest, Sam Edelman flats, and a cashmere scarf to fend off what was some very blustery weather. 

And Saturday I switched up the vest and flats for one last seasonal wear. 

Here are a few other successful winter white looks.
