You most often see my office attire here but I have my casual moments too. This was one of them. I wore this to Bible study last week. These olive joggers are perfect for casual days and for fall. I debuted them here as a summer outfit, but I knew their late start in my closet and wardrobe would not hinder them getting attention. Olive is on trend for fall and with our warm fall seasons, this combo of chambray and olive is perfect. I look like I'm ready for fall, but the lightweight materials keep me cool.

Return of leopard

I styled two more pieces from my 30x30 remix from last year. I wore this blouse with grey pants during the remix but not with the skirt. A year later this feels fresh and new. For some reason, I gravitate to leopard more in the fall, but it's a classic that can be worn year round. If you are trying to build a classic remixable wardrobe, invest in a grey pencil skirt and nude pumps. Grey goes with anything that black goes with and so do the nude pumps.

Cobalt again

Since the calendar said it was officially fall, I busted out a pair of booties. These work well for the office, but I rarely wear them casually. You may also remember this cobalt sweater from last September's 30x30 remix.   I wore it four ways during that remix, including pairing it with black slacks. I wore it with a red blazer then. Funny how changing shoes, accessories and your topper, or completer piece (blazer) can make yet another new outfit. If you have some good base pieces, you don't need lots of clothes to have a workable wardrobe.

Everyone is in full on fall mode now, but I could not resist wearing these floral pumps one last time last week before fall officially came in on the calendar. The last time I wore them I was studying the colors in them and noticed teal and coral were prevalent. It's usually the pink that catches my eye, but this time the other colors won my attention. From there, the rest of the outfit came together. Thank you floral pumps for a fresh and new way to wear this blazer. It was getting tired.


A look back at how I wore this blazer a couple of years ago:

 
And how I wore it last year:

Saturday shopping

I had a different feature planned for this week's Saturday shopping but I couldn't resist all the great sales out there.

Ann Taylor is having 50% off fall must haves with code HELLOFALL
Loft is taking 40% off EVERTHING with code FALL40
Banana Republic is taking 60% off all sale items with code BRSALE

Here are some of my picks


Here are some more things you just can't go wrong with for a fall wardrobe that will be on trend yet wearable year after year:

Ponchos are still in and this stripe poncho sweater from Loft would be a great one to have. I mean it has stripes.

Tweed- always classic yet trendy. Check out this layered tweed shift at Ann Taylor.

Military jacket-   they keep coming back in one form or another. This one is a steal at Banana Republic right now.

Plaid is always in and this olive color utility shirt  is perfect for this season too.

Happy shopping!
