Herringbone and a Dark Lip

In a perfect world, every plan we make flawlessly works out. It sounds easy enough in theory. In practice? No dice. You may have seen that my anniversary was this past weekend. Joyous occasion, without a doubt. I found the most perfect vegan restaurant in New Hope, went shopping for a classy yet still kinda sexy outfit, and spent hours on my hair and makeup. I had it all under control. Until we got to the restaurant and I realized that I had forgotten to make a reservation. Should have known that the coolest eatery in town wouldn't have a table available on a crisp autumn evening. Lesson learned: always call ahead.

I don't know about you but I love a good co-ord. When I saw this coat, my heart skipped a beat. When I saw that it had a matching skirt, I nearly died. I can't wait to style it other ways now. I'm thinking it may look great with a black turtleneck and some Mary Janes.

I kind of felt like I was ready to explore London in this getup. Of course, that's only because of my American ideas about how English people probably wear a lot of herringbone and bow ties. Can anyone across the pond confirm?

This has easily become my favorite look for Autumn, which I know I said about the last one and will probably say about the next one as well.
