I have a major confession. With the sun setting so early…. I’ve been kind of tired more than normal. Nothing has really majorly changed in my life, it’s just the sun!!! Because of the way my apartment is situated and the trees on my block, it is DARK inside at 4pm. Legitimately dark at 4pm and completely pitch black at 5pm. It’s so hard to stay focused when it feels like midnight. (I’ve been starting my day extra early to combat this.)
For better or for worse this has translated to my outfits. Almost every day, I’m wearing jeans and a sweater with one of my favorite scarves. So easy, it’s embarrassing!
This is also my most ideal work-from-home outfit. I feel completely comfortable, but it’s not like I’m just lounging in pajamas. I can run downtown for a quick coffee or meet up with friends for dinner at the end of the day and not feel like a total slob. Hello, win-win.
Oh, and I really do love a good navy and grey combination; it’s Georgetown’s colors!
This Gap scarf has to be my best purchase this fall. I bought it on a whim… I went into Gap for something random for Garrett and couldn’t resist the scarf for myself. It’s also everywhere. I know a lot of girls has the tartan blanket scarf, but I swear… I see a couple of girls on the subway wearing one of the Gap scarves every day! It’s super soft and big enough without being overwhelming and the perfect neutral plaid.

I was just in the city two weeks ago and it is so crisp and fresh! I am super jealous to see you enjoying the gorgeous weather…. and that vest is perfection.

You make me feel better about only wearing navy and black and grey because you pull it off so well! I love that scarf!

Love! This whole look has been my "go-to" for the weather lately- just enough warmth for the cool California air! I love pairing sweaters with a vest, scarf, and a great pair of jeans. You can't go wrong!

I can totally relate to this! It's completely dark at 5pm in my appartment too and that's extremaly annoying! So, recently I've been really productive in the early hours of the day and kind of not so much in the evening…
Love the scarf and the loafers, you're wearing! <3

Love the scarf. How do you like working from home – I would love to do that or something that I am passionate about like you!! 🙂
This is a perfect outfit! I've been doing the same thing almost every day – down to the vest! I have one of the plaid scarves from Old Navy and I love it! Except It's way to cold here to wear flats outside already!

A scarf is one of my ways to elevate a simple outfit. Bonus: It doubles as a wrap when my office is freezing! Gap nailed it with their cozy basics this year.

Beautiful outfit! That scarf is definitely a standout.
I love the navy shoes with the bow!

I have last seasons version of the scarf in pink, and in red, and I love it! They are so soft, and comfortable, and perfect for the awkward fall/early-winter weather we've been experiencing! And I'd love if you did more outfit posts; you always look so amazing!
