Pleats and Patent

Blouse: BANANA REPUBLIC
Shorts: TARGET (color Light Denim)
Booties: FRENCH CONNECTION
Necklace: UNOde50
Crossbody: BOTKIER

Yesterday was the first day of fall and normally that would be a bit more exciting if the weather was cooler in LA (high 90s uggggh) but I still like to incorporate transitional dressing with adding booties to an ensemble. I normally wear my black leather or a printed version but this patent pair adds a fall vibe to my look. Ankle booties are something I can pair with shorts, skirts, rompers and dresses and I definitely have more pairs of booties than even flats for that reason.

Similarly, pleats are like that for me this season too- I may not be able to wear a large coat at the moment but adding a blouse with pleated details is just a bit more interesting and more sophisticated for fall while still keeping me relatively cool.
