Although my favorite season holds firm at summer, I’ve really been falling in love with fall this year. The weather has been crisp yet sunny with gorgeous days and cool nights. With varying temperatures through the day layering is key. I hit up my favorite shop for stylish basics, Uniqlo, to stock up for the season. I found two pieces I’m crazy about – the Stadium Cloth Coat & navy blue a-line skirt. I decided to create two looks – one for work and one for weekend using the same two key pieces.
For the first look I created a traditional office look with a fun shoe to shoe off some personality. The white oxford is soft – not overly crisp like some button downs which I really like. I could easily see myself wearing it on the weekend with a pair of jeans. The skirt hits at a conservative length, just over the knees, that’s professional but doesn’t overwhelm my petite frame. The coat is a perfect layering piece that’s not too heavy for early fall days but can be layered up with heavier fabrics underneath for chillier days.

For the second look I created a weekend look that’s perfect for catching a game or crunching through leaves on an autumn day. The shirt is a boyfriend cut that is slightly oversized with green and blue plaid. I paired it with the modest skirt and low profile sneakers for total weekend wearability. Which outfit is your favorite? Let me know in the comments below!
