what I wore Wednesday....

The pulling together of an outfit....

 I spent this week working on my wardrobe for an upcoming trip to Napa.

 I was so excited to photograph my favorite of the outfits

but....

I had worn  the new shoes to break them in

and I forgot socks

so 

I of course ended with 

blistered feet.

so

My nights outfit first and foremost 

had to start with a shoe I could actually walk in......

so out came a pair of my old faithful flats

and 

their color led me to 

my bronze sequin tunic

and 

being past the age of sleeveless at night...

the tunic led me to

this Ralph Lauren cashmere jacket...

that

 by the way was new to me...

I  am helping my first style influence

{my mother}

edit her closets

and yes

(she has many...many)

and 

she handed this beautiful and versatile
 jacket
 down to me!

I have missed a great blazer

there is something so 

settling about a blazer...

a little armor for the day...

like a hug of confidence!

I was loving this outfit for a Saturday night

trip through 

Old Town Orange...
and

I added my new fall earrings

for a trip to LA on Sunday

for supply shopping 

for my accessory line.

these were an inexpensive pair from Aldo

which came on hooks

which I replaced with chinese coin and clips

( to off set the pulling on the lobes

that can come with this size of an earring).

I was even able to work in my new fall felt hat...
and now
  I have a new quick go to outfit
that I love...

all because of blisters.

Wishing you love and joy

as you style your life

thanks so for stopping by
