fall. uniform.

As much as I live for the summer months, I have to admit the arrival of fall often brings out my inner style chameleon. I seek solace in all the cozy layers, textures and slouchy knits that inspire me to adopt a more laid-back ‘tude. Though the temps have been relatively moderate so far, I know it’ll only be a matter of time before the tights and heavy toppers make an appearance. (Although, you best believe that I’ll be holding out on the tights part until absolutely necessary.) 

Today, I’m sharing my favorite #OOTD from the season to date — in fact, I’d go as far as to call it my unofficial fall uniform. If I had to live in one outfit this entire season, then it would undoubtedly consist of a chunky knit sweater, a mini skirt and Chelsea boots. REPEAT. I love how effortless and dialed down this combo is — there’s nothing overly fussy or “trying too hard” about it. It’s as streamlined as you can get, yet still totally polished. In a few short weeks, I could easily see black tights thrown into the mix.

Pretending like I'm a stoop kid... 

Outfit details: The light blue knit sweater I’m wearing is one of my absolute favorites. It’s by Cheap Monday, and the fit is oh-so impeccable. It’s a little bit slouchy, a smidge oversized and 100% off-duty. I love pairing it with high-waisted skinny jeans equally as much as a skater skirt. Speaking of which, while this teal floral print skirt from Aritzia is more of a summer staple, it instantly takes on a fall-ish vibe when teamed with a sweater and ankle boots. Last but not least, I snagged my pointed toe Chelsea boots on a whim from Gap last fall (you can check out this year’s version here), and they’ve already been in heavy rotation this season. I literally can’t put 'em down. If anything, they're proof that I need to invest in more Chelsea boots (and actually a pair of Doc Martens while I’m at it).
