Autumn is truly a magical time.  Cool crisp days and nights.  Falling leaves, beautiful bright golden colors, college football and pumpkin spice everything!  But... Let's not forget the fashions!

I especially love this outfit I put together for an evening of fundraising a few weeks ago. The blouse with  flowing sleeves and gorgeous gold color is one of my favorites and I am happy to see the spring-summer trend continue to the fall and winter.  I love gold jewelry and found some long necklaces that complemented the whole look.

The velvet skirt is so comfortable thanks to a bit of stretch in the material and I love the lady like length.  But these shoes make me smile.  They are suede, playful and (the magic word)...comfy!!  Who woulda thunk it?  I wanted to add a bit of texture and knew I wanted some fishnet style hosiery.

I was thrilled to find a black floral pattern to complete the look.  Color, comfort and a bit of glamorous fall style!

Wishing you a fabulous day ahead!
