FALL WARDROBE STAPLES

The Steele Maiden: Fall Wardrobe Staples - Suede Moto Jacket and Leather Backpack

Doesn’t the week after Labor Day always feel like you’re going back to school? Despite the fact that I haven’t been back to school in nearly a decade and I don’t have any children I’m walking to the school bus, I never can shake that feeling in early September. And I don’t mind, because it gives me a chance to break out a few classic staples (a fresh white tee, new jacket, backpack…) – just like my parent’s would have bought me before a new school year. While I don’t miss homework, I do slightly miss the days when they were footing that bill.. ha.

BACK TO SCHOOL STYLE: ANTHROPOLOGIE FRINGE SWEATSHIRT AND OXFORDS

Back to School Style: Anthropologie Fringe Sweatshirt and Tan Leather Oxfords

No matter how many years pass since I’ve actually attended classes, I can never shake that ‘Back to School’ feeling this time of year. Not only did Back to School shopping mean all new supplies (don’t get me started on how much my sister and I loved picking out freshly sharpened pencils and blank notebooks) but it also guaranteed a few brand new outfits for that last week of August when we begrudgingly caught the bus again. A lot has changed since I went back to 1st grade, 5th grade, 10th grade or even off to college.. but my love for a cool sweatshirt, leather oxfords and great bag has remained firmly in place.

STRIPED DRESS AND IVORY ANKLE BOOTS

Striped dress and ivory ankle boots

Stripes, denim, ankle boots.. they don’t call ’em classics for nothing. Truth be told, I wear some version of that trio a lot so when I can find a way to shake things up (even slightly) I do. Last weekend I opted for a slightly 90s take on the combo with this boxy denim jacket over a striped mini-dress, hoop earrings, and these instant cool-factor ivory ankle boots.

HIS AND HERS: HOLIDAY STYLE

His and hers Holiday Style - in a striped sweater, camel jacket, and Anthropologie faux fur pom beanie

Yesterday, Adam and I woke up to blue skies and October-like temperatures and we decided to jump in the car, escape the city and go for a Sunday drive. Since we didn’t have anywhere in particular to go we decided on a Christmas tree farm about an hour upstate. With room to roam, we spent the morning searching for the perfect tree.

HIS AND HERS FALL STYLE WITH CAT FOOTWEAR

His and hers Fall boot style with Cat Footwear

I’ve got a special guest with me for today’s post (out from behind the camera for a change) to talk his and hers Fall boot style with Cat Footwear. While I like to think know a thing or two about a good pair of boots, Adam puts shoes through the real ringer so if they’re tough enough to stand up to his wear and still stylish enough to get my stamp of approval.. well it’s a win, win.
