Falling into Fall

We're sorry we missed a post last week! We were celebrating Thanksgiving with our families and figured you guys would be too. :) We had packed warm clothes for Thanksgiving Day - but when we woke up and checked the weather in Orange County - it said there was going to be a high of 88! The weather in Southern California is so temperamental we never know what to expect. One day it's raining and in the 40's and 24 hours later it's sunny and 85 degrees.  We know we shouldn't be complaining - we ended up enjoying a lot of time outdoors with our friends and family - but seriously - it would be nice to get a similar weather pattern for at least 2 days in a row. 

Since we have come to expect the weather in Southern California, it's important to us to have clothes that can be modified for temperature changes. A scarf is always in reach and a change from sandals to shoes or boots can make all the difference. For this look, we matched an all cotton ensemble with boots and two knit scarves for some warmth. This is also a great day to night transition outfit. You can wear the sweatshirt and pants during the day with some sandals or cute flats and then at night - when the chilly weather kicks on - throw on the scarves and change into boots. We love purple and grey together and you'll notice that the grays don't match exactly. They don't have to! As long as everything flows together - you can make it work!
