Blame It On The Whiskey

I am in love with these shoes! Funny story, I was actually about to buy them the day before they came in the mail, but for some reason decided not to. I guess it was meant to be, as I found them in my package from Piperlime the very next day! Thank You Piperlime!

These pictures were taken at night time, as you can see, because I really don't have any other time during the week. Having started my new job a couple weeks ago, I'm  at work from morning till evening, and by the time I get off it's completely dark. :( But i'm actually quite pleased with how these pictures turned out, especially since it was my first time shooting at night. These pictures are definitely a different vibe than my usual blog pictures, and if I do say so myself, are a lot edgier!

Peacock :: Asymmetrical Hems and Black Pearls

Continuing with my holiday inspired outfits! Usually around the holidays, I'm all about shiny, sparkly, brocade, etc.....and really this skirt is perfect! I love the asymmetrical hem and the intertwined peacock colors. The skirt is such a stand-out piece that I thought it would be best to keep the rest of the outfit black to make it really pop! I really never wear that much jewelry, but I'm always about pieces that make a statement, like this black pearl necklace. It's actually one extremely long necklace that I randomly twisted around a couple of times to form knots and such. I think it keeps them from looking too perfect and stuffy!

Second :: Silk and Denim

Hey everyone! I'm very excited for Fall, which I feel like I say every year, but it's true! We've been having some crazy hot weather towards the end of Summer, which seems to be cooling off now...but who knows? Over the weekend, the weather actually cooled off enough for me to actually want to wear jeans, which is where this pair of boyfriend jeans from Mother Jeans came in handy. I usually don't wear anything but skinny jeans, since it's hard to find jeans in my size and I feel like other styles just overwhelm my frame. But since boyfriend jeans are supposed to be loose anyway.....I figure it'd be a nice change from my usual look.

Let's face it, while I'd like to say that I'm all about that black and white, minimalistic look, I'm really all about color. I love bright jewel tones, especially for Fall! This silk button down from Zara is right down my ally. I could probably not wear anything but drapey button downs for the rest of my life and still be happy.....actually, I think I live in them right now! There's something timeless about a great button down shirt, and they really work in every color. I tend to buy mine a size larger than normal to get that drape effect for my half-tuck!

I topped of the look with this silk bomber jacket from Townsen. I love the abstract print and the fact that it's a neutral grey. I think it'll definitely become a staple in my closet, as I could probably throw it over any outfit!

What are your favorite looks for Fall?
