The best way for me to feel like I’m dressing for the season is to wear a dark palette in lightweight fabrics. I’ll reach for cottons, silk voile, and semi-sheer wools to pull together looks that create a fall vibe. One silhouette I love to work in is an elbow length sleeve top. It’s a go-to silhouette because it works with so much. The one I’m wearing is new from Vince. The fit and weight are perfection.
I also bought it in brown which looks very berry like on the website but is more of a rust brown in person (as shown). The top can either elevate something simple like a pair of jeans or introduce a more casual note to tailored pieces.
The Theory black cotton skirt is a summer purchase and still available (also here). It’s lightweight and perfect for warm autumn days.
I like all black with a contrasting shoe color. Here with one of my favorite shoe purchases from spring/summer – the Miu Miu boat shoe in weathered white. Splurgy for a boat shoe but to me special enough and crazy comfortable. No regrets.

Karima, what size do you wear in the Vince sweater? I think it will be a great piece for Dallas winters.

Shelley – I’m wearing a medium in this style.
