I've talked about this before but after a week of meetings and events and fancy dresses; all I want to do is throw on jeans and a flannel. Layering season is my favorite!

Fact: this is the first year I refused to buy sugary coffee drinks. Pumpkin lattes included. It's weird I realize but all I crave is black coffee. Is that odd?

#MBFW Day 3 favorites.

Rounding out my #NYFW experience with the final recap...Day 3. (Day 2 recap here) I apologize for the delay in posting today. Truth is, I'm tired. 70-hour work weeks will do that to you. Anyhoo, FASHION - let's discuss.

We kicked off the morning early for Lie Sangbong. (not easy when dehydration levels run high and caffeine levels are low) Lie Sangbong was new to me. 

By the time we walked out of the hotel that morning, it was 98 degrees. I swear. Which is why I so smartly wore a tweed suit. Observe.

Holy chic.

The biggest trend in my daily wardrobe seems to be the resurgence of all black and white. I've always prided myself as a colorful girl hence this realization is really confusing me. On one hand...it's really easy to get dressed when you reaching only for neutrals. On the other hand...I feel like my sartorial taste is changing yet again. (sort of like hormones but more fun)

The good news is...I still love me a good graphic tee!

Let's talk business.

My photographer suggested the title of this post. Admittedly she was spot on. Today's #ootd is decidedly corporate-y. I do love this kelly green skirt though. It's always fun to rediscover pieces in your closet. Since I refuse to wear anything summer-y being the nature of the season...this will have to do. Did we discuss the fact that it was 80 degrees yesterday?

Rorschach test.

I've been wearing so much B&W lately that I just HAD to break it up for a bit. One of the trends that I'm head over heels for this year is matching coordinates. I was a little late to the game but once I found the right fit that didn't over expose my stomach - it was on. It's basically like getting two outfits for one because I wear the crop with my black skirts or jeans and vice versa with the skirt. 

Dare I say that's some smart shopping?

Gosh, it's been a long time, huh? I'm so excited to share my top Fall finds under $50. And they are well under $50, girls!

You should know I had a difficult time narrowing down my choices. Like I always say...

Happy shopping! xo
