Happy Friday, ladies. I missed yesterday due to sinusitis. I haven’t had one in a very long time, but I can honestly say I never missed them.

I created two looks. The colors are all neutral, so textures and subtle patterns give these looks a lift.

Autumn is chocolate color everywhere. If you love it, it’s not always plentiful, so now’s the time to get some. I paired my straight leg ankle jeans with short ankle boots. Ideally, it should fit just right. that’s all top of the boot.

Herringbone is a fall staple and I was happy to find it in brown instead of the popular black and white. Plaid is another classic print in every imaginable color. Add a brown croc-embossed shoulder bag and gold bamboo hoops.

I love the richness the crocodile and alligator embossing gives to leather bags, belts and footwear. This outfit can be leveled up with wool trousers and a silk blouse for a different vibe.
