If you’ve been following along this Fall, you already know that the temperatures in California have thrown me for a bit of a sartorial loop (it’s going to be a high of nearly 85 degrees by Wednesday). At this point on the East Coast I’d be bundled up in my trusty camel coat, black hat & scarf, and dark leather boots. But here in sunny Los Angeles this past weekend I finally just decided to look on the bright side and threw on my brightest cobalt (lightweight) sweater and a colorful floral silk skirt. Then balanced the whole look with a neutral grey bag and shoes. Speaking of bags? This perfectly structured satchel is from the magic makers over at Sole Society and is the new shining star of my handbag family. I usually carry vintage bags (as evidenced here and here) so when I choose to go new, I’m pretty discerning. Versatile, structured and not too large – this one passed all my tests. Here’s to keeping an open mind.
