    I love this for fall! Especially the piece from Talbots.

    If you're taking berry-colored requests, what about a pair of hot pink or berry pumps for fall? I love punches of color with otherwise neutral outfits and I'm already dreaming of a September full of gray herringbone and pink.

    I hear you, Ms. C – the drape on the Marant is fabulous. I like the Talbots, but it seems a little more casual to me.

The Find: Like a McCall’s Pattern
