What To Wear

With the busiest social season of the year, we all struggle to find the perfect outfit for that one party we’ve been looking forward to. But have you ever opened your closet and felt uninspired because none of the party tops and sequins feel right? When an outfit clicks for me, I feel complete. Sometimes, I find myself trying to get pieces to the outfit to work, such as the bag with the shoes or all of the jewelry, and it starts to feel forced or “off”. This season, I promised myself that I would think outside the box with my holiday looks and step away from your traditional ensembles.

I threw my sequin dress to the curb when I laid my eyes on this embellished cashmere sweater. Gorgeous right? I, immediately, knew this was the perfect top to complete a classic yet contemporary look that can work both for day and night festivities. Since the sweater is a combination of casual comfort, I chose to pair it with a leather midi skirt for an effortless look. This keeps the look still glitzy and glamorous but feminine with an edgy touch.

Downtown Cool Vibe

It's finally cooling down in Los Angeles! As the crisp fall air moves in and the summer sun gets farther away, outerwear and boots are at the top of my list.

I'm just going to say it: Ankle boots might be my favorite type of boots.

They can be tough when paired with a classic moto and skinny jeans. But they also work with a flared skirt of a cocktail dress for more of an unexpected downtown-cool vibe.

I paired it today with my classic go-to plaid flannel shirt and black skinny jeans.

After I accessorized my top with black leather and booties, I realized this outfit became more of an edgy-cool girl vibe, which fit our gloomy weather perfectly.

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Xo, Lillian
