I bought this hat last year and never wore it. I love the color. I'm guessing you've figured that out by now- the last few posts here and on Instagram have been with burgundy or olive. Those have been my go to colors so far this fall. I decided it was time to put this hat to use. I've decided after evacuating for Hurricane Matthew that it's time to put lots of things to use or get rid of them. What's the point of possessions that just lay around and serve no purpose?

Last year I pretty much wore this outfit in a work  version- tunic, grey trousers, scarf. It was fun to wear the blouse and scarf in a more casual look.

How do you decide what to wear? Do you keep a running list of "outfits" at least in your head, or do you go into the closet each day and just see what works? I try to shop now with a rule of three- a piece has to work with other items in my closet to create at least three outfits or have three ways to wear it. This means I've at least thought ahead about individual pieces. And sometimes I sit down and create mini capsules with 10-20 pieces so when life gets really busy, I can just look at that list, pull the pieces and go. This outfit was on one of those capsule lists I created last year, but I never got around to wearing it. Sometimes I don't really need that list, but it's always good to have a back up.

I certainly wore a lot of marsala/oxblood/burgundy last month, and I'm not apologizing for it. I couldn't help but get this patterned top when I saw the colors. I know I wore these shoes at least three times in close proximity. Again, no apologies. When I love it, it wear it.

 

So a week of daylight savings time has passed. It is totally wrecking my ability to take outfit photos. I have only managed to adjust my schedule once to be able to take photos before I leave in the morning. When I get home, it's dark. I did a little photo shoot last Saturday to catch up with what I wore last week, but I won't be able to do that every Saturday. How do you deal with the time change?

This outfit is very similar to this one. It's the same two base pieces- navy blazer and camel pants. However, the shoes, blouse and accessories are different. I used an oxblood top and mustard bag to bring in more fall colors. I went with leopard flats. Leopard really goes with anything but I love it with fall colors best. Speaking of the flats- I have a love/hate relationship with flats. If they are dressy enough for work, then they usually don't look right with casual clothes. On the other hand, if like these, they work with casual, then they don't work with business attire. These ballet flats are a little more interesting than some, but after seeing these photos, I don't think they work with this outfit.

 

Anyone have any suggestions on a flat shoe that is more versatile?
