casual style


Falling into fall for brunch

wearing: statement earrings / lipstick / tee / blazer / black belt / wide leg jeans (old, also love this pair) / fall nail polish / handbag / silver bracelet / gemstone bead bracelet / black flats /

My bag was turned around! Ooops. So, I snapped another photo at home, which you can see below. This is the fall outfit I wore to the Stanford Shopping Center Beauty Brunch. I was so excited to wear a fall look. When I woke up, we still had some fog at our house, so the blazer and jeans seemed like the ideal outfit. Little did I know, it was really warm in Palo Alto without any fog in the sky! Ooops again!

Despite not being dressed for the weather, I made it through the event without melting. Putting the blazer on my shoulders instead of putting my arms in the jacket really helped me wear the jacket throughout the event. Yay! haha

These shoes turned out to be perfect for the event. Since they have good arch support, I was able to walk around and stand without any pain in my feet. Love that! If you have planter fasciitis too, or foot pain, I highly recommend checking out these shoes, they are a life saver!

I am looking forward to wearing this fall look more often; especially when we actually have fall temperatures. These eighty-degree days need to go! I really do need some pumpkin spice weather! haha

Thanks for stopping by!

Fall capsule wardrobe 2024

fall capsule wardrobe 2024 casual

Fall capsule wardrobe from top left: turtleneck sweater / chocolate brown sweater / grey sweater / jeans / silver bracelet / black tee / black belt / golden hoops / statement earrings / black wide leg pants /

Sweater season is almost here, and I am here for it! Love! This is my favorite season because fall weather offers some relief from the warm summer temperatures, and we can wear soft and cozy sweaters. I love sweaters!

The fall season will be a casual one for me. So, while I have dresses ready for occasional events, my day-to-day wardrobe will consist of mainly casual clothing. For fall 2024, a good pair of wide leg jeans is a must, as well as a pair of wide leg pants. This pair of black wide leg pants from my summer capsule is lightweight and easy to pair with a tee or sweater on cooler days. Since the fabric is thinner, they will work on warm fall days when the temperatures reach the 80’s.

In addition to sweaters, a good tee is always a must in any season. I love this black tee, which I also own in a slate blue. It is comfortable, slouchy, and washes well. Love that!

Dinner in Orcutt

wearing: earrings / black tee / black belt / jeans / handbag / fall nail polish / ballet flats /

Our road trip took us to a small town named Orcutt. It had the cutest downtown which was historic and boasted several restaurants. After exploring the downtown, we decided to enjoy dinner at Pizzeria Bello Forno.

They had both indoor and outdoor seating. Since there were five of us, we ended up inside. The decor had a vintage vibe and everyone who worked there was attentive and really nice. We really enjoyed our meal!

We started with the Bruschetta which was delicious. Then, I enjoyed the Beef Short Rib Tortellini. The sauce was incredible! I really enjoyed my meal. Yummy!

If you are ever heading down to SoCal, or in the Santa Maria area, I highly recommend stopping in Orcutt and enjoying a meal at Pizzeria Bello Forno. Thier food is amazing!

There is more to explore from our road trip! Stay tuned for more coverage.

Thanks for stopping by!
