The Perfect Fall Uniform

Outfit details

Jeans, plaid jacket,  white t-shirt, loafers

The perfect fall uniform—denim, loafers and chic, but comfortable jacket over a t-shirt. I don’t like to follow trends too closely, but I do still like to feel somewhat current in my outfits while maintaining some level of timelessness (I hope!). I’ve been on the hunt for a pair of jeans that feel a little wider leg to go along with what’s in style now, but still work with my body shape and don’t feel huge and sloppy. I think these jeans might be just what I’ve been looking for—more of a straight leg from the knees down, but fitted enough on top to still be complementary for me. They’re structured, but have just the right amount of stretch for them to still be comfortable. This little plaid jacket is in such pretty shades of green and has a slight stretch to it, which makes it very comfortable to wear. It definitely fits more snug like a shirt and I’m not sure a long sleeve would fit underneath, so not a true layer, but perfect for northern California where it can still be warm, but you want to dress like it’s fall. I had paired it with my new favorite white t-shirt but then promptly spilled tea on myself and had to swap it out. These loafers are also a new favorite. They’re so comfortable which is a must for being in my late 30s and chasing around kids.
