With Fall quickly approaching and the weather temperatures fluctuating it is quite the chore to dress appropriately. I typically find myself freezing and as I work in an office, jackets and sweaters are a must.

Necklace: JCREW Sunnies: Franco Sarto
Today’s outfit is one of my most versatile. I’ve worn this combo during the winter with taupe tights and boots as well as during this past Summer by losing the jacket and adding cute wedges.
I love the layering and dimension of this outfit. There is a lot going on but with muted colors, you can amp up the patterns and make the look more interesting. Don’t be afraid to mix and match similar colors and textures!
The jacket and skirt from this post are both by Simply Very, by Very Wang @Kohls. It’s a great brand…with lots of beautiful textures and colors. Check it out here!
Oh! And one more thing…my family and I are heading to the beach this fine Labor Day weekend for one last Summer hurrah! There will be more blog posts next week but check me out on Instagram or Twitter @Cortneybreblog also as I’ll be updating those daily!
