TWO FALL LOOKS WITH J.MCLAUGHLIN

You guys, I am obsessed with the new arrivals at J.McLaughlin right now! I was so excited when they wanted to work together on this post and had the hardest time deciding what I wanted to feature. I’ve always been a huge fan of their bags in particular (probably 1/4 of the bags I own are J.McLaughlin!) but this season I’m equally in love with their knits and boots. I only wish I had more places to wear them! But if you’re getting dressed for Zoom calls, etc. you need to take a peek at J.McLaughlin’s new arrivals. Everything is just crisp and classic and the kind of thing you’ll keep in your closet for years to come. In fact I often rewear this exact outfit I wore last year just before announcing I was pregnant!

This is the first cashmere sweater I’ve owned from J.McLaughlin and I can promise it won’t be the last. The quality is amazing and how sweet are the little buttons on the sleeves? It’s nicely fitted so you can wear it either over jeans or tucked into a skirt or high-waisted denim. Here I tucked it into these cool velvet jeans with this natural leather belt (I already have the navy version but I know I’ll get a lot of use out of the neutral!). And the embossed croc and suede handbag is such a timeless piece for fall. But the highlight of this outfit is for sure these perfect suede boots — I am just  in love! The rich brown color is to die for and they’re incredibly flattering (leg-lengthening!) on. Highly recommend if you’re searching for a classic fall boot!

Aren’t these photos so fun? We snapped them in our-library-turned-Will’s-home-office and I don’t know why we haven’t thought to shoot in there before! I’m hoping we can get a few missing pieces sorted out so I can shoot a full room reveal in here in the next couple months because it’s such a special space! But on to the outfit… This long cardigan with the detachable faux fur collar could work for any number of occasions, from work calls to holiday dinners. I’m wearing it with these faux suede leggings that are basically as comfortable as workout leggings but infinitely chicer (just be sure to size down!). These suede booties are the perfect shade of brown and I love that they have a zipper for getting them on and off easily. And last but definitely not least, this bag! If you’re looking for a leather tote that will fit a laptop and all your essentials, seriously look no further! It has a detachable zip pouch on the interior but the rest is completely open and roomy enough for anything you need for work or would be great as a carry-on item when we’re all able to travel again. I love the classic shape and simple tab closure!

A few other things I have my eye on… this crisp oversized button-d0wn, this navy blazer (love the contrast collar!), this silk shirt, and these croc mules (that bow!).
