The Right... Pop of Orange

I have to admit, I've turned into one of those people that pretty much only wears black, white, grey and tan.  Oh and the occasional olive.  I pared down my wardrobe a ton earlier this year and left myself with this group of super neutral clothing which has been simple to style because everything matches, but I realized I'm missing that occasional POC.  Cue Banana Republic coming to the rescue with this amazing scalloped dress.  It's perfect for work with heels or can be dressed down with an oxford underneath and some sneaks for a casual weekend look.  Oh and it has pockets and fits my hips.  Which is a win in multiple departments.  






In other news, I'm working on a full marathon recap which I hope to share very soon!  It was such an amazing race - something I never expected to say about a full marathon!

The Right... Fall Stripes

I am seriously thanking Mother Nature as I draft this post because aside from a few unexpectedly cold days our transition to the dead of winter has been pretty smooth.  So much so that I haven't had to pull out the tights yet (but I don't think I'll be that lucky much longer!).     I scored this cotton/cashmere Uniqlo sweater dress on major sale (I'm talking $10) when I went in to stock up on tights a couple of weeks ago and it was such a good deal that I bought it in grey too.  Compulsive shopper?  No way - just bargain shopping the way my mom taught me to!  They've been in heavy rotation (along with this cape which didn't see much wear after I bought it this past Spring) and I can't wait to keep layering them straight through the cold months.

Oh and can we talk about this bag for a sec?  It's by Angela Roi - they've been around for a while now and I was lucky enough to meet the team during NYFW.  The online brand supports cancer and disease patients through the association of each color of bag and a portion of the proceeds of each bag directly benefit the designated cause.  I love when I find brands that give back and make amazing products.

The Right... Go-To November Outift

Whiskey Ginger  //  Living After Midnite

  I've traveled a bunch as of late (and right now I'm exploring Europe) and the weather has finally gotten cold, so it was only natural my go-to outfit is a simple combo of leggings, over the knee boots and a sweater (or faux fur vest in this case).  I wore this when I headed to Jackie's for Octoberfest a couple of weeks ago and wore a similar version on the plane on the way to Paris.
Be sure to check out Jackie and Taylor's posts too - looks like we're all on the comfy/cozy train this month.

The Right... Fall Riding Boots

Ok, it's official.  I've finally surfaced from my big work event, marathon cloud and am finally feeling human again.  And kind of with it.  But only kinda.  Because now I can finally get excited about my next big adventure: E-U-R-O-P-E!!!!!!!!  I've kept the trip a little hush by accident because I've just been so busy with everything else I couldn't really focus on it.  But I head off to Paris, Florence and Milan next Thursday and I'll be gone for 9 days!  Any suggestions are welcome, I'm working on finalizing my lists now!  
  In today's post I wanted to share two of my latest can't live without items for fall: the perfect wide-calf riding boots and this blanket scarf.  First the boots - I know I've preached to you about how wide my calves are but it really was getting to be an issue when finding boots.  Then during all the David Bromstad for Naturalizer excitement, I was browsing the site and realized they offer wide calf in almost all of their boots.  When I had the chance to test drive them, I instantly fell in love.  The leather is gorgeous, they are beyond comfortable and they fit amazing (you can't really tell they are wide calf unlike some other wide calf boots I've found).  Second, this blanket scarf.  I stumbled upon this poncho/scarf at Uniqlo when searching for some ultra light weight down for morning workouts (blue vest pictured) and for a mere $20, I found the one thing I literally can't stop wearing.  At the office, on the weekends, at home.  Everywhere.  It's so soft and cozy and extremely versatile.  There's a good possibility both will make it into my suitcase for Europe...

The Right... Over the Knee Boots

    I quickly fell in love with over the knee boots last year when I bought my first pair of Stuart Weitzman's but I typically have a really hard time finding boots that fit my calves (and some OTK boots fit a little too tight and looked horrid on).  You may not be able to tell from my posts, but let me tell you, they are huge.  I was super excited to find these Shoedazzle OTK boots because I was looking for a pair to switch out my SW's every once in a while.      And right now, pairing my OTK boots with a fall dress and jacket is a spot-on combo for fall!  What would you pair them with?

The Right... Navy Loafers

  I had the pleasure of interviewing David Bromstad a couple of weeks ago to talk about his newest collection with Naturalizer and let me just say, it was AWESOME.  He is hilarious and you can tell his designs are completely original and based largely on his personality.  I've loved David ever since his HGTV Design Star days (my mom has also been a huge fan since) and to spend some time with him in person and be able to chat about one of my favorite things on the planet was completely surreal.     Also, I must note, you HAVE to make it into a Naturalizer store to check out the collection in person - the photos on the website don't give the detail or comfort justice.  Speaking of comfort, I'm so thankful for my new pair of loafers from the collection because they're the perfect little pillows to put on my feet while I finish out this marathon training.   I'm also loving this moto boot, these heels and this Chelsea boot in the collection!

The Right... Fall Romper

  I have to admit, I have a love/hate relationship with rompers.  I love them because they can be so easy but I hate them because, well... bathroom.  This one however, I'm ok having that sliver of "hate" because I have been ob-sessed with it since I bought it.  As in may or may not have worn it once a week... #sorrynotsorry
This was my favorite combo to date with this romper and I'm working on a "ways to wear" remix for you (I figured out I can hide it under a pencil skirt for maximum versatility) so stay tuned for that!  I had a blast shooting these photos with Meaghan and was excited to finally take pics in front of her infamous backdrop that I love so much.    

  Hope you all had a fab weekend!  I'm gearing for a busy couple of weeks so apologies in advance if things slow down a little here...
