Cami || Skirt || Jacket || Heels || Clutch
It was almost exactly a year ago that I posted this casual golden inspired outfit. God! Those pictures look like they were taken forever ago and I’m so happy to have more than a St. Pete alleyway to use as a backdrop. In that blog post, I claimed that ‘mustard’ was the color of the season and I’m happy to report that it’s still going strong one year later.
I’m refreshing my love for this perfect fall hue by giving it an elevated look. I know I can do such much better than just a t-shirt and jeans combo. As soon as I saw this skirt from J. Crew, I knew I was in love. The color is absolutely gorgeous on and in person. The deep pleats gave me so much movement as I trotted up and down Madison Avenue, but it was still ultra flattering. I felt like the color and silhouette both were a little nod to the Old Hollywood style that I always love. The dark color block detail helps pull this daytime skirt into a night time ready outfit. I paired my black cami from J. Crew and favorite Steve Madden and felt ready to dance the night away, even at 10 am on a Sunday morning.
I couldn’t resist adding my favorite Madewell denim to keep the look casual. I love how it instantly makes the look become ready for work, church, or brunch with your favorite girls. For date night, all you have to do is shed the jacket and you’ll be off and ready. Swap for a higher pair of heels for good measure. For the final accent, I added my go-to leopard print clutch fro BP. The bag’s warm tones were the perfect compliment to keep up with the skirt.
There’s no telling what colors are going to be on trend for this time next year. Some colors stand the test of time (think, navy) and others last one season before we move onto the next best thing. If I was a betting blogger, I would say that this rich, golden color will back year after year for the autumn season. Whatever the color or season, you can never go wrong with classic silhouettes and a handful of closet staples to make a perfect, timeless outfit.
Love from NYC,
