I’m so glad the cooler weather has finally arrived! Time for tights and a big comfy sweater. I’d go with a shimmery tank underneath (or a nursing tank for now) and a denim pencil skirt. Add some t-strap flats (only $28!) and a bag, sparkly earrings and some simple bracelets, and you’ve got a cute and cozy outfit.

Thank you! I have that exact skirt & have been trying to incorporate it into my fall wardrobe.

Great outfit! I love pencil skirts – they are the best.

Great pieces! So nice to see that you can buy ballet flats for under $50 :)

I am loving the shimmery tank top! It adds subtle glam to any outfit. Thanks for the tip!

I have the Lobelia Bud Earrings and they look fabulous on. One warning, they are quite large and make it impossible to talk on an iPhone. Other than that, they are perfect!

Those t-straps were on someone else’s blog, I think The Good Life For Less, and I couldn’t believe they were only $28! I have to go try them on for size this weekend… and put them on my Christmas list. I hope my local UO has them.

Such a good outfit! I want it all.

Your style posts are my favorite! Love the purse and shoes! Going on the want list NOW!

I have been a HUGE fan of Old Navy lately. Seems like they are upping their quality and style!
Nicole
love it! I just bought that ATLoft sweater & adore it… so comfy-chic & fall-ish!
Jenny
Just wondering if you have other suggestions on what to wear gray thick tights with. And also what shoes to wear them with. I love them, but am stuck in a rut. Thanks for all the inspiration!!

i wish i was wearing all of this right this second. bravo on another yummy outtie!
Paige
Love, love, love the bag. Saw it at Nordstrom the other day…even better in person!
Taylor
I’ve been contemplating getting a pair of these t-straps. I love the teal ones as well!
Marissa
So pretty. i love light pink and gray together.
Sarah
Love this outfit! I own those shoes as well and I agree about wearing them with tights. They definitely need some breaking in, but they are super cute!

I love this outfit. I am definitely going to Forever 21 and see if I can find cheaper versions of everything in your style look – this will be perfect, even for work (i’m a teacher).

Love the grey tights, tres chic! I wear black tights alot and these would make a nice addition. Another gorgeous look.
Mrs Soup
Oooo, I am in love with that sweater! Gorgeous shoes too!
anna j.
love this… esp. the colors!!
micah
Very pretty, I would wear this entire outfit for sure!
Catherine
I have that skirt in dark rinse! It’s super comfortable and well cut (even suits a curvy gal like myself). Loving the idea of grey tights (or coloured tights in general) with it. Inspiring as always, Nicole!
Sarah S
Thanks Nicole! I’d be wearing them with fishnets, I wonder if that would do the trick. Do you actually buy most of the items in these posts?
Making it Lovely
Depends on the month… sometimes I have a few of the items, other times I might not have any. I can’t afford to buy ALL of the things I love, so putting together these looks is a fun way of window shopping!
Averill
Cute as always. That bag is fantastic!
Cassie
Ahhh that sweater looks so cozy! I also love the tights. What a cute outfit that would be! :)
Sarah S
Lots of people are saying in the reviews that the shoes are painful and poorly sized. I’ve been looking specifically for a pair of T-strap shoes for a 20s party I’m having in January, but those reviews make me nervous.
Making it Lovely
I actually just bought them the other day. They do run small, so you need to order a size up, and I’d only wear them with tights (I think they’d give blisters with bare feet because they’re not leather). I haven’t worn them for a full day yet though, so hopefully they’re OK.
Lauren
I live for these cute little style boards you do. Those skimmers from Urban Outfitters must make their way into my closet. I think they’re Kimchi Blue, and they always make such cute shoes! Thanks for the style inspiration…and for all the other inspiration you give us all.
Kalee
I absolutely love this outfit! And the best part is I think I have enough similar things to replicate it fairly well, although I need t-straps.
Jenn
I love that bag – where is that from?
Aimee
Very pretty! And so perfect for fall. :)
Audrie
I love everything about this outfit! And those shoes are divine!!! Nice job!
Amy Kelly
I am crazy about this outfit! It couldn’t be any more my style. I have been wearing a denim pencil skirt, thick tights and ballet flats non-stop since it has turned cool. I love this look.
