For the Office.  I love mixing grey and white regardless of the season.  I just don’t buy into the idea that a person can’t wear white after Labor Day.  I wouldn’t advise wearing a white sundress or white shoes, but a white blazer shouldn’t be a problem.

I love the clean lines and the shoulder detail on this Jacquard jacket from Mango.  However, if you’d like something that says chilly weather with gusto, try a white and grey tweed jacket like this awesome number from Rebecca Taylor.  Plus-size ladies might like this jacket from Michael Kors in ivory tweed with zipper detail.

This dove grey blouse from Theory would look lovely under a blazer or a belted cardigan in a jewel tone, like this boyfriend cardigan from Target.  Need a cheaper alternative? This longsleeve Trouve blouse is $74, while this darker, short sleeve blouse from Pleione is $58.

Despite J.Crew’s quality issues, they still make a great wool trouser.  Sadly, they’re not lined, but I’ve never found that to be too much of an issue.  On the less expensive side, Ann Taylor has a lovely pair of wool trousers on sale for under-$100.

For the accessories, I chose a burgundy-colored handbag to contrast with the emerald-colored shoe.  It’s one of my favorite combinations for fall.  I also picked this malachite ring from Kelly Wearstler for another pop of green.  If you’re a bargain shopper, I also found this oversized ring with a green stone at Mango for $8.

For the hair, I would wear it up in a Gibson roll to show off the shoulder detail on the jacket.  For the makeup, I would pair a burgundy nail color (OPI Bogota Blackberry) with a glossy burgundy lip color (Bare Minerals Moxie Lipstick in Lead the Way).

For a Wedding.  I have two semi-formal weddings on my calendar for the fall.  Neither will be quite dressy enough for cocktail attire, but I still want to look my best.  So I thought that this DvF knock-off from Mango would fit the bill just fine.  It has some drama in the neckline and a comfortable cut that’s perfect for a wedding-plus-reception-plus-after-party.

I added a simple grey J.Crew clutch because I couldn’t find a green clutch in a reasonable price point where the greens matched.  I did find this gorgeous Alexander McQueen clutch, but even on sale, $700 is just more than my blood pressure can bear.  If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative to the J.Crew option, try this Halogen Continental Clutch for $98.

For the jewelry, I adore this light cuff from Kendra Scott.  And since I know we have some silver lovers in the group, you’ll be pleased to hear that it also comes in a white metal option.  The earrings are also an amazing buy at $22.  They remind me of a much more expensive Alexis Bittar pair that I have been eyeing.

For the makeup, I would do a grey smoky eye.  This palette from Physician’s Formula has all the colors you need for a cool $12.  For the hair, I would wear it down and in waves.  I can never get my hair to stay curly all night, but somehow the ladies at DryBar can.  It’s really a mystery.
