It feels like Fall has definitely started to make its way to Gulf Coast Florida. By that, I mean we’re staying below 90 degrees. It’s still humid, but I’ll take what I can get. With the slight dip on the thermostat, I’ve been relishing in enjoying my morning coffee al fresco in our outdoor sitting area. It also means that I’m beginning to play around with autumnal colors and fabrics. While it’s not the same as dressing for Fall in NYC, I’m happy to announce the return of my favorite fabric, tweed!
Even though I’m permanently working from home, I still take pride in and have fun with getting dressed each morning. Yes, that includes the footwear. In my mind, it’s helps me feel professional and honestly keeps me on task throughout the day. If I put on a full outfit, I rise to the occasion. The reverse is also true. If I just roll out of bed and “go to work” in sweats I feel my productivity shrink. I know this isn’t true for everyone, to some comfort is key, so that’s just my personal experience.
Even if getting dressed for work is just a basic tee and jeans. I say mission accomplished! All I have to do is add a blazer and I’m ready for Zoom meetings and hosting Webinars with clients. Enter this little jacket… J. Crew has long been my number one destination for tweed, but this one may just take the cake! It’s aptly named Autumn Tweed and absolutely deserves a spot in your seasonal wardrobe.
This particular material is so soft, especially for a tweed, but it’s the style of the jacket that really won me over. Is is beautifully tailored and has an almost military-esque silhouette. As someone with an incredibly long torso, it perfectly fit my body type, without looking oversized. Also, gold buttons, accompanied with functional pockets, really make the color pop!
To keep this simple look a feminine one, I paired some of my favorite lady-like accessories. My Saddle Vanchetta Natalie flats are the perfect neutral color, with just the faintest hint of a bow. My go-to “fall bag” from Neely and Chloe is just as structured as my blazer, making it a perfect match. With so many fun, fall style on their way, how will you dress for the new season?
Love from Florida,
