WEEKEND STYLE IN STRIPED KNIT DRESS AND QUILTED VEST

The Steele Maiden: Weekend Style - stripe knit dress, quilted vest and white sneakers

A brunch-indulging, sidewalk-strolling, weekend-ready look.. because I am very ready for the weekend. I wore this striped dress, quilted vest and sneakers around town last Sunday when we spent most of the day enjoying this ongoing warm weather in New York and not having much of a schedule. Which is in stark contrast to the packed schedule I’ve got for this weekend – but at least I’ve got the relaxed outfit, right?

HOW TO WEAR BROOCHES ON A JACKET

The Steele Maiden: How to wear brooches on a cargo jacket for fall

Truth be told, I love a good ‘basic’ outfit. Skinny jeans, knee high leather boots, turtleneck sweater. It’s easy and always works. But I hate to feel boring when it comes to fashion, so I always try to incorporate one little signature touch to make an outfit feel unique. Adding a cluster of brooches to a jacket has long since been a favorite little style trick and I’m thrilled to see them making such a comeback this season.

COZY FALL OUTERWEAR WITH BANANA REPUBLIC

The Steele Maiden: Fall Outerwear with Banana Republic Teddy coat and neutral turtleneck

Talk to me in 3 months and I’ll say I hate coats of any kind, but the first time I put them on each year? I love ’em. The coziness, the way you can play with layers, the mix of textures. Suddenly a sundress and sandals just seems like a distant, boring notion. So when Banana Republic gave me the chance to pick out a fresh fall outerwear combo for the season, I hit ‘add to cart’ before you can say November.

FLORAL MINISKIRT AND VELVET HAIR BOW

The Steele Maiden: Floral miniskirt black bomber jacket and velvet hair bow

Thank goodness that winter weather from last week wasn’t here to stay (yet) and I’m able to sneak in a few more days of bare legs. Since I know that won’t last forever, I soaked up the weekend’s fall weather in this jacquard floral miniskirt and simple layers. Plus a velvet hair bow – because I can’t stop lately.

WINE-HUED: BURGUNDY SWEATER AND LACE SKIRT

The Steele Maiden: Office holiday style in wine-hued separates - lace midi skirt, burgundy sweater and suede pumps

I know, I know – you’re still in full out pumpkin picking mode. But to me, the holiday season starts post-Halloween next week. One of the things I’m trying my best to do is really savor each season instead of getting so caught up in my hectic work/blog/life’s schedule that they just pass me right by. And so this year, I’m planning on sharing a slew of fun new holiday content in plenty of time for you to see it, shop it or share it. No last minute scramble for what to wear to that office party or get your dad for Christmas. With that in mind, I’m easing into holiday style for this head to toe wine-hued look.
