We all have that classic piece in our closet that comes back year after year that we never want to part with. In most cases, since it is a classic, the styling options are endless and it’s typically a neutral color {it does have to come back each year!} Although I probably have a few pieces in my closet that fit this description, the one that comes to mind for fall each year is THIS camel skirt.
Plaid Blouse: J.Crew Factory, sold out {similar style HERE} | Boots: Hunter | Skirt: J.Crew Factory, similar color HERE | Bag: Tory Burch | Pearl Necklace: J.Crew | Bracelets: David Yurman Link, Cuff | Earrings: Kate Spade | Sunglasses: Karen Walker | Lipstick:Elizabeth Arden {marigold}
I have had this camel skirt for a few years now — since it is such a classic, it is still available! — and each fall I come back to it and find new ways to style it. In the past, I’ve waited until the temperatures were a little cooler and I paired the skirt with tights and booties or riding boots. But, since the temperatures have been all over the place lately {it was in the upper 80s here yesterday!} I opted for no tights and Hunter boots.
As much as I love this camel color, I often find it difficult to wear because of my light hair and complexion. A pop of color is a must to make this look work, and this plaid blouse couldn’t be more fitting! Speaking of this plaid blouse, it is one of the softest shirts I have ever owned! And since this blouse is more fitted and shorter than your average blouse, it is ideal for tucking into a skirt or pants. With the mix of orange and red in the top, I was obligated to accessorize with red boots and the most perfect lipstick. I’ve only worn THIS shade a few times, but it is a perfect match for these boots!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Ella has her Halloween costume party on Saturday. Last year, she won best costume so she is hoping to defend her title this year! Her costume is a little different this year, but it is too. cute. for. words. I will be posting some pictures on Snapchat {username: rach.mccarthy7} and Instagram {rach.mccarthy} over the weekend so stay tuned!

Rachel, you look absolutely beautiful in this plaid shirt and that gorgeous lipstick shade; orange looks so good on you! I love the way the plaid shirt pairs with the skirt, which I can totally see why it's such a favorite of yours, it's indeed such a classic! I need to get a pair of Hunter boots, I've been wanting a pair of black ones and every time there's a sale on them and I go to purchase, they'e always sold out in my size π They really are such beautiful boots and I love them in this red color, too! Thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you're having the most amazing week so far!

I seriously want everything in this look! But those red Hunters the most π They are so pretty and shiny!! I'm so excited to see Ella's costume this weekend! And congrats on the baseball win too! Hopefully we'll see you next week in the World Series, but the way the Dodgers are playing – probably not! π
