Toteme Slouch-Waist Maxi Dress curated on LTK

The Seasonal Flip with a simple black dress.

I love this black dress from Toteme. It’s elegant but fabricated in a heavy linen which reads somewhat casual. Wearing with loafers and bold earrings for an elegant unfussy option. #lbd #transitionalstyling

I love a matching set!

When I spied these matching grey pieces, I knew I’d like the monochromatic look they’d create. I feel pulled together when I wear one color head to toe. It’s flattering on everyone. Make it grey – in a lightweight melange fabric with a nod to flannel – and I’m all in. The shirt is a yes, but I’m debating between the straight, slim pant (not my usual go-to) and a wide leg pleated style (ordered and on its way to me). Maybe it will be a yes to both!

Wearing a trio of old pieces for a fresh fall look.⁠
⁠
The cropped Dries Van Noten camel jacket is from spring. Who knew that would be the color I'd be focusing on for fall? I love wearing jackets with nothing underneath...maybe just a tank.⁠
⁠
I talked about these Brochu Walker vegan leather pants last September. Ended up getting them in brown too. Another great silhouette for California and other warm weather fall locations.
⁠
Somewhat newish are the Alaia perforated Mary Janes. They're as comfortable as the simple Ava style I have from The Row, but add a little more personality with the pattern.⁠
⁠
When I love a piece I know I'll wear a lot, I often buy it in another color. That goes for this look. I also have the Dries jacket in black and the BW pants in brown.⁠

Favorite purchase of the season so far…tasseled loafers. The more exaggerated the better for me, but any size is good!

The ONE jacket I want for FALL now.

I have a few key pieces in mind that will layer nicely into my wardrobe. The idea is to keep my closet classic but fresh. The Field Coat/Barn Jacket is the essential piece for the season and beyond. I like it worn with everything from a casual tee and jeans to a feminine flowing dress (Prada).

Some are dressier than others with the addition of a fur collar or polished fabric (Nili Lotan). I just ordered the leather collared one from COS and sized way down. This is not an area I want to spend a lot on. It just needs to feel good on, in a color that’s flattering and a fit that looks forward. Slightly oversized is the way to go. If the COS doesn’t work out, Ill try the one pictured above from Everlane or ME + EM.

FALL MOOD

September is the month of a mental transition into fall. This is true especially in California where the weather hasn’t changed much, but my mind set has. I evaluate my closet relocating clothes that feel like summer to the back while bringing forward a fall palette. I want to see that color story first when I’m deciding what to wear.

Over the years I’ve parted with heavier pieces that were rarely worn (sadly) keeping just the things I’d need when traveling to cold weather destinations. It’s still a substantial lot since my favorite time to travel to Europe is offseason – winter preferably. I’ll talk about what those pieces are in another post…a capsule wardrobe reserved for travel.

But for most of September and October in California, I’ve learned the best way for me to feel like I’m dressing for the season is to wear a fall palette in lightweight fabrics. This year, I’m leaning heavily into the warm khaki tones, ochre, and camel with black, brown and ivory.

One of my in flight uniforms is topping off a very basic ensemble with a stylish coat or jacket. I love having one with me for comfort plus it ups the style factor even if the rest of the outfit is so-so.Same pieces with a shorter coat and sneakers:
Chloe peacoat, Hogan sneakers, Vince pants (I also like these from Theory), Vince top (on sale), Moncler sweater

For my FALL STYLE LOOKS, I’d like to layer in soft pieces – a dress, skirt and definitely a shirt. Looking at the SS25 collections, this feeling isn’t going away anytime soon.

Toteme’s shirt is the vibe. It’s got the shape I’m after. Equally important is the fabric – a semi sheer organza or voile for example. Perfect for the warmer fall months.

I’m wearing a TWP voile shirt (also have it in navy and love it with dark denim) and old AGOLDE jeans. I’d layer a structured field coat over this look and ground it with suede flats.

The skirts I’m eyeing include one from Toteme and Loulou Studio in tan or blush pink. I’d wear them with dark khaki, ochre, or any sort of off color for visual interest.
