A black sweater was on my fall shopping list this year. I wanted something simple, chic, and versatile. And I just found it! This v-neck wool and cashmere knit is just want I had in mind, and it has a draped silk back with a center pleat.

Time to officially switch to a warmer wardrobe for fall. Layers, textures, long sleeves and boots for months (and months) ahead. I love the relaxed fit of overalls and paired these with a large scarf and simple long sleeve tee for comfort.

I love the simplicity of black and white together; it’s classic and effortless. A moody lip is a nice pop of color, and you can never go wrong with a pointy shoe. Have a nice Monday!

It’s beginning to feel like fall in Chicago. So this means switching to heavy knitwear, leather jackets and layers. I’ve been searching for this specific shade of gray sweater for awhile, and this one from Madewell is perfect. Have a great Monday!

Summer is officially winding down, sad, I know! The weather was great this weekend in Chicago, but I definitely noticed a dip in the temps at night. I find it a bit challenging to make an easy transition into cooler temps and colors. A simple solution besides layers, are neutrals and black on black.

I’ve always liked loafers (not to be confused with boat shoes); they’re both comfortable and versatile. I had my eye on several different pairs for a while, and finally decided on these Prada loafers I spotted in Rome. These will be a great shoe to transition into fall.

I’m back from a great vacation to Istanbul and Italy for a few weeks with my husband and close friends. Highlights from our excursions soon, but feel free to check out some of my Instagram pictures @taffetaandcedar. I decided on clean lines and minimal pieces for this look. Oh, and I love these leather sandals that I picked up in Capri. Simple and chic! Have a great Monday!

A bit of sporty with a few polished pieces are ideal for a relaxed, yet put together look. I love combining sneakers with cleans lines and distressed denim; hence my love of basics. Have a great Monday, everyone!

Basics are my go-to for summer weather. Especially when I find myself standing in front of my closet undecided about what to wear for the day. It’s always best to keep it simple. I picked up this asymmetrical sleeveless shirt from Acne Studios last summer, and it remains a favorite. What are some of your favorite basic pieces?

I’ve been admiring lighter colors since the weather has been so gorgeous and sunny! All-white and some neutrals are the right mix of causal chic. A nude clutch or bag is a wardrobe must-have, and I love the minimalist style of this one from Phillip Lim.
