Favorite Fits: A Fall Saturday Uniform

By: LL
Jess and I have a BIL (brother-in-law) with a Saturday uniform. He wears suits to work every week day and so it is understandable that on the weekends, he wants to wear nothing but track pants and his favorite college sweatshirt. Guys can pull this off a bit better than women can.

For women, a Saturday uniform requires the perfect combination of comfortable, classic and trendy pieces. In the summer, this can translate to a pair of khaki shorts, a favorite v-neck tee and a spattering of cute accessories (sandals, satchels and bracelets). For the fall, this requires more pieces (i.e., cardigans, scarves) and the right pair of jeans. Here are some suggested pieces for you to think about adding to your Saturday uniform. Whether you have them in your closet or need to pick up a few, this will make the perfect statement as you are running your Saturday errands or playing in the yard with your kids.



White tee: Gap Favorite
Skinnies: Old Navy Rockstar (Steal of a price at $19!)
Infiniti scarf: Target
Gold bangels: J. Crew
Watch: Michael Kors
Flats: Loeffler Randall Quinnie
Handbag: Kate Spade (also a pretty responsible price for KS at $189)

Contrary to what I have heard some people say, for fall, cheetah print serves as a neutral that allows you play around with other colors in your wardrobe. Besides adding in royal blue, I also like reds/purples and rich greens. What is also great, is that they compliment browns and blacks as well. And even though some people might cringe at the thought of comfort in a pointy toe, as long as you invest in better quality, you shouldn't have any issues.

Happy Saturday!
