Look Book: Fall Leaves & Spontaneous Outings...

Oct 24, 2011

Just a few days ago, I met up with my hubby for a spontaneous after-work date night! It was spectacular out!! I’ve been waiting for the leaves to change colour for what feels like... forever! But finally, the stunning colours have hit the west coast. Yay! So naturally, I couldn’t resist taking a few outfit photos. I'm so thrilled that fall has taken over our neighbourhood!
We spent the remainder of our evening enjoying a glass of wine and lots of great chats. Hubby & I were friends long before we became a couple, and I absolutely love that!! Because even after 13 years together, I feel like we are still the dearest of friends and we love sharing our lives with one another. Haha, sorry guys, apparently I’m in a sappy mood. ;)
As for the outfit?! Well, it was a super quick, oh my gosh, what should I wear, throw it on really fast kind of outfit!! But I love how it turned out. Vintage inspired florals, brown knitted tights and plaid -felt so perfectly fall-esque!! I'm also loving the cognac hue of my Jeffrey Campbell splendid heels; they seem to suit the changing season beautifully. And in anticipation of fall, I've also ordered several dresses from ASOS, which I can't wait to style & share with you guys next week! Yay!! Enjoy your day, friends...

Outfit Details:
Jacket - Thrifted
Dress - ModCloth
Tights - Joe Fresh (similar)
Shoes - Splendid Heel, Jeffrey Campbell

PS - I've also added two new "Girl & Closet" blog buttons! Feel free to grab one or replace an existing one!! xo

  10. I'm just loving the fall colours in this look, Veronika, and all of the romantic fallen leaves, too. There's something about the autumn that always makes me feel warm and fuzzy... I don't know quite what it is, but this post definitely fed right into it :) I love how you're styling your JCs for fall, too. I would never have guessed a sandal could be so versatile, but you really are the master of the remix! Looking forward to seeing what gems you've ordered from Asos :) Hope you're having a wonderful Monday!

  16. This dress is seriously so cute! I just love the perfect colours. Also, that shirt is to die for! I love the mixes of patterns. Aren't date nights just the best, especially spontaneous ones - though I can't believe you just threw this together ahha! And btw, that pic of you both is so cute!

    ReplyDelete
  17. love the mixed prints and those JC heels look just as gorgeous paired with tights for fall as they did alone in late summer...what a fantastic pick!
    Love that fall has arrived too, it is such a fun season and with the weather we have been having, one truly can't complain!
    I love that you and your husband are still so in love even after 13+ years...that is exactly what I think a marriage should be-best friends choosing to share their lives together-love it!
    Happy Monday,

  48. Ooh I love fall.

    Such a pretty outfit. I love your mix of patterns. The soft browns and ivories are consistent, but this outfit is anything but boring! It reminds me of a walk through the changing leaves and a warm pumpkin spice latte! Beautiful!

  54. Aww you two are just the sweetest couple, it's so inspiring to hear about so many years together too! I love the picture of you two getting cuddly & look at those fall leaves- so jealous over here : ) great idea to pair the plaid top w/ the dress, a perfect touch of dressy w/ casual. I also LOVED seeing the pumpkin carving date- SO cute (& your home & cat look so pretty too : )

    Wow, 13 years together? How sweet :) you're one lucky gal. I found Moreno, my fiancé, "just" seven years ago, but I can't say we were friends before we started dating :) we fell in love with each other the moment we saw each other so...I wouldn't call it a proper friendship haha

  88. I love all the hints of brown in this outfit! It really pulls everything together: the two prints from the dress and jacket look like they were meant to be worn together! I love the tights so much too! To be honest, I never thought of brown ones, I usually stick with black but they look so pretty and work really well for a "softer" kind of look.
