a little mocha at midnight.


F21 striped knit sweater w/elbow patches | F21 fit & flare skirt | Wholesale-dress.net blue velvet wedges | Zara two-pocket briefcase satchel | DIY friendship wrap bracelet

Oh fall, where art thou? As you can see the deep, rich hues in my outfit are a way of paying tribute to autumn. Summer's vital signs are still shining bright, but hopefully my attire will send a white flag for fall to hurry on over here. And I doubt the golden leaf season could pass up on my elbow patches. I am total sucker for them. Shopping scenario commences as this: I spy knit hanging on rack. My size? Check. Flattering silhouette and color? Check. Price? Hmmm. Oh wait, elbow patches. Beeline for the register with knit in hand. Other thing that has been consuming most of my free time? Friendship bracelets. I have made several colorful and fluorescent ones with the regular floss material to add to my arm candy collection, but this one sets itself apart from the crowd. It literally took me less than two minutes to make. Amen to that.

This look perfectly embodies how I want to dress this fall- classic neutral colours in comfortable but put-together styles with fun detail (hello, elbow patches!) And those wedges are the perfect finishing touch, you can never go wrong with a good pair :) Absolutely gorgeous.
