The Coveted
ONE | TWO | THREE | FOUR | FIVE | SIX | SEVEN | EIGHT
Every now and then I inadvertently create what becomes my wish list for the upcoming season and this, my friends, is the one. Everything from preppy basics like a camel a-line skirt and a black crewneck sweater to updated designs like that transparent mini tote and those sculptural earrings are just what I’m craving to update my closet this fall.

My Uniform on “Nothing-To-Wear” Days
No matter how over-stuffed my closet is, those “I have nothing to wear” days always seem to pop up. And I suspect many of you are in the same boat. Of course it’s not about a lack of clothing; it’s about not having the right clothes that fit the person you want to be that day. Over the years, I’ve realized that I reach for an iteration of this outfit on those days: skinny jeans, flats, and a patterned blouse. It’s a no-fuss outfit that I can wear to my casual office or out on the weekend, and opting for a blouse in an eye-catching pattern keeps it from being too boring. I spotted this blouse at LOFT last weekend and fell in love with the pretty eyelet detail, the ’70s-inspired colors, and the ruffled trim — and for $30, it was a no-brainer for my next nothing-to-wear moment which happened to be the very next day! If you’re looking to order it online, go with your usual LOFT size and order a size down to try, too. I went with my typical size small at the brand and it’s still roomy.

Signature Style
This dress was destined for my closet given that it’s basically an updated version of the one I bought last year and have worn just about every week since. I’m such a sucker for a loose dress with flats, so much so that I’d call it my signature style. To keep my favorite look from getting stale, I look for pieces each season that have on-trend detailing. This year’s iteration of my beloved dress has a sweet bow tied at the neck, dainty ruffled hems, and gathering to add texture. If you’re as captivated with it as I am, definitely go down a size. I usually start with a medium in a new item, but I had to go with a small in this and there’s still plenty of extra room.
