The temperature is playing a silly game of betcha-still-think-it’s-summer in this neck of the woods with record November highs in the 90’s, but our weather man claims that that’s about to change (fall, where are you?).
Regardless, this is what I’d be eyeing if it were a tad bit chillier – and if it were MUCH chillier (as it is in some parts!) perhaps a knee-length cream or navy pea coat to top it off:

Simple, clean and very chic. A basic striped blouse topped with a tie cardigan and long silver pendant for the top, and bootcut jeans with tan leather mary janes (these Seychelles have a sturdy enough heel to survive a day of working/running around on the feet) on the bottom. Rotate out the top with a plain white tee, floral tank or even another sweater and you’ve got yourself some easy fall looks waiting in the closet!
In honor of San Diego’s semi-sweet weather, here’s a mild-weather, basic inspiration board for a weekend around town:
I love love exaggerated, over-sized sweaters and this black cinched waist version would look great layered over a striped long sleeve tee. Match that with skinny jeans in a light wash (I might roll these to a few inches above the ankle), bold flats (love the lace up design on the back of these), a gender-neutral messenger bag and a black fedora and you’d be ready to go. For a simple statement piece, an over-sized gold locket fits over the over-sized short sleeve sweater.
If it’s a bit blizzardy where you are, swap out the flats for knee-high boots and throw on a knit scarf and a waist-length jacket for running to and from your warm, heater-filled car to the house.
This is a wonderful time of year! Scarves, layering and wool hats make fall an exciting season to look forward to. More inspiration, style boards and the sources/pricing for above boards found here.
I love that you included the super cold weather. I live in WAY northern Alberta Canada, and all I own is boots, so I love coming up with new warm outfits. Since I don’t really have a choice! It’s already -5C, yuk. and that’s warm for winter here!
Oh geez, now I’m REALLY wishing I had money to go shopping right now! These outfits are so cute, I love being able to layer!
I would wear both of these outfits endlessly! Just right for cozy fall days…Janell
Loving the first look A lot! We are having the same issues here with our weather at the moment, just the other way around, its supposed to be spring, but we have had a fair bit of betcha-still-think-it’s-winter. So annoying casue i’d really like to crack out some of those cotton skirts i’ve been storing :)

Love these outfits! I like fall clothes. Sweaters are so cozy and I managed to throw a scarf onto every outfit. The shoes in the first outfit are adorable.

I love these simple looks. Can you post where you found the cardigan?
Sure! If you click on the pink button in the left sidebar that says ‘Wardrobe’ it will take you to a page where all of the style boards are listed, there you can find pricing and sourcing info for everything.

Gosh, I love these…I’m so conflicted: I lovelovelove winter clothing but hate the cold haha:)
I agree Jessica, isn’t it true?! Winter clothes are so dreamy to think of – soft layers, warm materials – but not as fun to actually need.
I could see you in either of those outfits. Great inspiration!
These are gorgeous Morgan. I think they could all work for any season… just change up the tops for lighter fabrics…
Still not really hot enough here either to break out the permanent summer wardrobe.
