Hello friends!

My husband and I spent a long weekend in the mountains in North Carolina with a couple of our dear friends. The fall colors were beautiful and the weather was perfect for wearing these super comfortable knit pants that I got from J. Crew (on sale now!). I wore the black pants with a cashmere sweater that I have owned forever — at least 20 years!

Here is a similar sweater from Nordstrom. My leather sneakers were a gift from my sister from London and are not available here, so I found a couple of fun alternative options from Nordstrom here and here.

I’m loving my leather bucket hat that I found while shopping at a boutique in the adorable town of Blowing Rock, NC. Here is a similar hat by Ted Baker. I used to wear hats all the time in the fall and I am going to start wearing them again. They always add a bit of flair to an outfit!

I paired a tan version of the J. Crew pants with this off-white sweater from J. Crew, these booties from Dolce Vita, and an old but timeless Burberry scarf.

Oldish and stylish tip – to keep sweaters looking like new, use a depiller like this one from Amazon to shave off the fuzz and pills. Doing this will add years of life to your cashmere and wool sweaters!
