... mixing stripes, brocade... and fur for fall ...

With fall's official arrival this week...
and some beautiful SOCAL weather here...
I couldn't be happier...
to do some
new fall wardrobe styling.

I am so happy with my new fall mix.
Shopping my own closet of fall favorites...
I have styled some old favorites with a new twist...
and I'm loving this...

stripes + brocade ankle pants + fur vest + ankle strap heels + accessories

as always my friends

I wish you love and joy
as you style your life

    I want to know who takes all these gorgeous pictures for you? I have no one! And, I'm the most horrible photographer, of anything, not just me. xx's

    Marsha... my youngest son, who is becoming a gifted photographer, takes many of the photos of me. i take most all of the other photos... and as with anything... I have improved with LOTS of practice :))

    Gorgeous fall look! Our temps are going down here in Seattle and I'm ready for a fall wardrobe change. The fur vest is a basic here:)

    Happy first day of fall!

    Stunning. Just stunning photos and outfit.

    The styling of the photos is great too, the apples and the wicker, the bag and the apples. Did you take the photos on a bench?

    I have to say...should you ever feel so inclined as to no longer require that bag, I will gladly take it off your hands! It has me drooling, and I don't even like bags.

    What kind is it?

    bisous

    I knew we were going to be in for a treat when you announced last week that you were gathering your fall wardrobe, but I had NO idea it would be this special. Wait, yes, I kind of did, it's you I'm talking about. This is just awe-inspiring. Perfect way to bring in Fall in grandiose fashion, my friend. And, talk about layering with detail and surprise, just lovely.
    I especially like the pop of fuscia in the one photo with those fun shoes.
