Sunday Funday

We’re still having very wishy washy weather here in San Francisco. Humid, overcast, coolish, and sometimes rainy.

This lofty cotton Cheap Monday sweater has turned out to be a really friendly piece for this kind of weather. Sometimes I’ll wear it 4 different ways all weekend long. Here I’m dressing it up for a brunch date by pairing it with my new leather skirt from Madewell and an old Marc by Marc Jacobs clutch. 

This is the first leather skirt that I have owned, though I’ve been eying them for several seasons. I really want one of the Alexander Wang ones, but they sell out so quickly and are at the price point where it would be a major investment for me. This one from Madewell is at a good price, probably because it is constructed using several pieces of leather, so that really lowers the material cost. But I actually quite like the combination of the piecing together with the pebbled leather. Plus, it has an exposed back zipper, which I love!

By the way, I always recommend that if you are trying a new silhouette that you opt for a lower cost item first. Then you can experiment and build your confidence about how to wear it before spending more on an investment piece the next season.

The Weekender

Of course as soon as I go bragging about how warm it is in San Francisco, the weather goes and turns cold on me! Just like that! Tuesday brought us a little bit of a chill and several days of (probably much needed) rain here in the Bay Area. So no more minidress posts – which, if I’m being honest, probably wasn’t a seasonally appropriate outfit anyways. Le sigh.
