This was my New York Fashion Week outfit on day two of the spring/summer 2016 shows. Laura snapped these pictures for me outside the Art Beam before the Zimmermann show.

These Valentino shoes were perfect during New York Fashion Week. The low heel and ankle strap kept the shoes perfectly in place while I stood in line for shows, stood outside waiting for Uber’s, and did quite a bit of walking. Loved them!

My favorite part of this outfit is this Vince dress! The dress was incredibly comfortable and did not wrinkle during the day. My day started at 10am, and went until 11pm, so there was a lot of sitting at shows, and sitting at meals that day! Thankfully, the dress did not wrinkle at all. Love that!

This Vince dress was also perfect for the weather. The temperatures in New York hovered in the high 70’s, with low humidity. The dress was perfect for the early fall weather; which means it will be ideal at home in the San Francisco Bay Area during the entire fall season. I cannot wait to wear it this fall! As fall progresses, it will look amazing paired with black boots, and a black leather jacket.

Each New York Fashion Week outfit I plan has been chosen for a combination of comfort, style, and the ability to be restyled back home. This dress was great because it packed well, offered comfort, stayed wrinkle-free, and can be worn so many different ways throughout the fall season. This was the first dress I purchased from Vince, and since I love it so much, I will have to check out more dresses and clothing options from Vince! I’m hooked!

In addition to Zimmerman on day two of New York Fashion Week, I also attended Betsey Johnson, Pamella Roland, and Chromat. Stay tuned for my coverage of these fabulous shows!

This skirt! When I received my fall 2015 JCrew catalog a few weeks ago in the mail, I almost fell off my chair when I spotted this midi skirt in the pages of the glossy. The laser cut overlay, and the beautiful burgundy hue, spoke to me.

Rarely does clothing speak to me; especially in the form of “you need me now!” Normally I see something I like, I ponder it, I try to match it with other things in my closet, then I make my decision. With this midi skirt, I did not have to think, I just knew it was “the one.”

JCrew offers the skirt in burgundy, navy, and black. These are all fabulous colors, but I felt the burgundy/wine hue was really exceptional. This color sets off the laser cut-outs, making the midi skirt incredibly interesting. Love that!

When I received this laser cut midi skirt in the mail, it was even prettier than I imagined. In person, the cut-outs, and the color, are exceptional. I know I will be wearing this midi skirt all season long!

My beautiful nine-year-old daughter snapped these pictures before church last Sunday. It was the first time I wore the skirt, and I was thrilled! My two daughters love it too! 🙂

I paired this laser cut midi skirt with a simple white top from my closet. I cannot wait to start pairing it with thicker fabrics, knitwear, and even sweaters! Bring on the cold weather!

I also need to give a shout-out to the fabulous pair of earrings, and beautiful necklace by Kendra Scott I am wearing in these photos. I received them last week at the RewardStyle Master Class in San Francisco. Kendra Scott’s team was there showing the fall collection, and how the Color Bar works. 

As a huge fan of Kendra Scott’s gems, I was thrilled to receive these two items. The earrings are fabulous. They can be worn with, or without, the earring jacket. Two in one =  fabulous! ( and a money saver ;-)) 

This necklace is also a perfect closet staple. It matches everything, of course, and transcends trends. I love timeless pieces; and would love to own it in every color!

Have you found a key piece this fall which speaks to you?

One of my favorite outfits on a warm summer, or early fall day, is a midi skirt with a comfortable, lightweight tee. It is perfect for getting out of jeans here in the San Francisco Bay Area.

We are a casual bunch here in NorCal. So, when someone is dressed up, they stick out like a sore thumb; not in a good way. By pairing a dressier midi skirt with a casual tee, I can create a combination which is both occasion appropriate, and reflects Bay Area style. Not only that, tee shirts are more comfortable than jeans! Win/win 😉

This midi skirt is a fall piece. Since our weather in the Bay Area doesn’t cool down until late October, sometimes early November, being able to pair a fall piece with a lightweight, comfortable piece, is the easiest way to look “fall-ish,” without feeling fall; if you catch my drift 😉

What is your favorite way to look fall, yet stay cool, when the temperatures still scream summer?
