Autumn Color Story

Today, I was inspired by the gorgeous colors of fall.
Pants:  The Limited (Available here)
Blazer:  New York & Company (Available here)
I chose my camel trousers, added a bright orange sweater, and dark green blazer.  This look is a little preppier than I usually go for, but I do love how this has an almost 1970s collegiate ease about it (think Ali McGraw in "Love Story").  
Sweater:  The Limited (Similar here)
Tank:  Target (Similar here)
I kept the accessories neutral and coordinating in cognac. 
Shoes:  Target (old)
Bag:  The Limited (old)
Do you get fashion inspiration from nature?

Leather or Not

Hi everyone!

Today I decided to wear my new blazer purchased from my September Wish List.  I love the faux leather sleeves and pocket detail.  
Blazer:  New York & Company (Available here)
Pants:  New York & Company Petites (Available here)
The high-waist and wider leg of the pant gives a subtle nod to the 70s, while the jacket shape and faux leather details keep the look modern.
Blouse:  The Limited
Belt:  The Limited
Leather is such a major trend this fall (See here).  Thankfully, vegan alternatives abound, so it's easy to find plenty of great pieces using faux leather.  I love the use of mixed materials in this blazer.  The woven fabric moves better than (faux) leather, and I think it makes the blazer more work appropriate than an all leather blazer might be.
Do you plan on nabbing any leather pieces this fall?  How would you rock them?
