wearing: fall sunglasses / lipstick / bold faux gem earrings / black twist tee / striped asymmetrical hemline skirt / holiday 2018 nail polish (check out my review here) / bold silver and green ring / PVC tote bag / white booties /

How fun is this skirt! Instead of being a mullet, it’s like a party on the left, and business on the right. Lovin’ it!

This skirt was originally going to be part of one of my NYFW outfits, but as you know, I had to cancel my trip for a medical emergency. As a result, this skirt has been hanging in my closet since the end of August. Even though I am loving the cooler temperatures the fall season brings us, I was secretly thrilled the last couple of days when the weather went back up into the 80’s. This meant I could wear my skirt! Yay!

In order to bring this avant-garde skirt down to the streets, I paired it with a conservative black twist tee, and some fun accessories. Faux gems are a huge trend right now, so I thought these earrings priced under $25 were perfect for adding a little sass to the look. My white kitten heel booties are really comfortable and bring out the white in the stripes on the skirt, so I added them too! I wasn’t sure which bag to wear, but my daughter convinced me this little PVC tote was perfect; so I went with it! haha

I can see this skirt with knee boots and a chunky sweater on cooler days; I just need to replace my beat-up black knee boots from a few years ago before I can put that look together!

What do you think of asymmetrical hemlines? Do you have fun wearing them, or are they a little off-kilter for you?

Coziest cardigan for the fall season

cozy cardigan sweater how to wear a cardigan sweater san jose street style san francisco street style san jose fashion bloggers san francisco street style over 40 style bloggers

wearing:; silver earrings (old, similar here) / blue animal print sunglasses / lipstick / black v-neck tee / silver pendant necklace / cozy grey cardigan sweater (under $150) / fall nail polish / white Gucci lady bag / classic straight leg jeans / western style boots (so comfy!!) /

The fall season calls for warm drinks, soft blankets, and cozy cardigan sweaters. So when the weather begins to cool off every fall, I seek out cozy and soft cardigans to get me through the season.

This grey cardigan is sooooooooooo soft! I can’t even begin to tell you in words how soft it is! I wish you could reach onto the screen and touch the sweater in the photo to see how soft it is! Can someone please invent that technology?? TIA!

A cozy cardigan and jeans is a go-to outfit for the fall season. This is a look I will reach for weekly; and the sweater is already getting reached for daily. It looks really cute over leggings, stretch pants, and of course, jeans!

I always look forward to cooler weather so I can cozy up in a soft cardigan sweater. What article of clothing do you look forward to every fall?

how to style flat boots Perfect go-to booties for fall 2018 by Jambucomfortable fall bootshow to wear flat boots fashionable fall booties affordable

Raise your hand if you love wearing booties in the fall, but sometimes shy away from them because they aren’t that comfortable? My hand is so far up!! I love wearing booties, but if I know I have a lot of walking and/or standing to do that day, I tend to reach for a comfortable pair of sneakers.

Jambu has solved that problem! Instead of looking like I am heading out to the gym in sneakers, I can slip into these fabulous new booties by Jambu and look chic while running through my busy day. They are as comfortable as a walking shoe, without looking like a comfort shoe. Love that!

These chic booties by Jambu are classic black, and offer hot-off-the-runway styling. The mirco-studs combined with the understated scalloped edges, give the boots an edgy-chic look which is perfect for both urban streets and laid-back suburban life.

In addition to fabulous style, I love the fact that these boots have memory foam inside! It helps them mold to my feet and offer a comfort level which can’t be beat. The rubber sole is great this time of year too since it’s our rainy season here in the San Francisco Bay Area.  Love!

I love pairing my Jambu Rimini booties with jeans or leggings. On warmer days, they look really cute paired with a dress or skirt. These booties are so versatile! I can wear them with anything. They will be great for travel since they can be paired with so many different types of outfits; and because you can walk for miles and miles in them! OK that’s it! Time to plan my next vacation so I can pack these booties! Where shall I go?

The entire fall collection from Jambu offers a combination of function and style. They have the most comfortable booties for women! You can check out all the new arrivals from Jambu online here, and the entire collection online at Jambu.com Be sure to use discount code BAYAREA18 now through Oct. 31, 2018 to save 15% off your purchase! They also offer Vegan styles if leather isn’t your thing! Love that!

Thanks for stopping by!
