WHAT: Fat Face Skirt (sold out), Fat Face T-Shirt (sold out), Hermes Sandals, Missoma Coin London Necklace, Missoma London Horn Necklace, Quay Sunglasses

WHERE: I worked from home, took the dog for a walk, and had a virtual meeting in the afternoon.

WHY: It was the first day of fall but also got up to 90 degrees, so easy, comfortable, and cool were key components.

TUESDAY

Laura Behnke The Life Actually Company What I Really Wore September The Odells Caftan Dress Modern Picnic

WHAT: Damsel x The Odell's Dress, Modern Picnic Bag, Ann Taylor Scarf (sold out), Hermes Sandals, Monica Vinader Bracelet, Quay Sunglasses

WHERE: I had a coffee meeting in WIlliamsburg in the morning and worked from home the rest of the day.

WHY: The second day of fall was much cooler so I was able to go with long sleeves that were rolled down to start the day. But as the sun got stronger the temps got higher and so did those sleeves. But it was still a versatile option for the fluctuating temperatures so common this time of year. I also continue to love my Modern Picnic luncher, using it as a handbag constantly.

WEDNESDAY

WHAT: & Other Stories Pants, Uniqlo Top (old) similar here, Hermes Sandals, Modern Picnic Bag, Ann Taylor Scarf (sold out), Monica Vinader Bracelet, Quay Sunglasses

WHERE: I had errands to run in Manhattan in the morning and then lunch with a friend who had just arrived in town and was staying with us.

WHY: It was another coolish but very sunny day, so the more you moved around the warmer it started to feel. This look was very easy breezy, making it perfect for running around the city all day.

WHERE: I went to an event at the Kendra Scott store in Soho.

WHY: I had been eyeing these boots for over a year and finally decided to make the investment. They arrived Wednesday afternoon and I wore them out that night to an event in Soho. I kept the shirt I was wearing all day and swapped out pants for a skirt and was ready to go!

THURSDAY NIGHT

Laura Behnke The Life Actually Company What I Really Wore September Zara Pants Theory Blazer

WHAT: Zara Pants, Theory Blazer, Black Bodysuit, STAUD Bag, Seychelles Pumps, Missoma London Necklace, Monica Vinader Bracelet

WHERE: I went to a feminist art exhibit event at a gallery in Manhattan, and then a late dinner at DUMBO House.

WHY: It's finally cool enough at night to need a blazer. I've had this classic black Theory blazer for several years now and it never goes out of style. I paired that classic piece with a trendy pair of pants from Zara, snakeskin pumps and my trusty black STAUD Moreau bag.

FRIDAY

SATURDAY

WHAT: Old Navy Jumpsuit (from last year) similar here, Janessa Leone Hat, Urban Outfitters Bag (sold out),Missoma London Coin Necklace, Missoma London Horn Necklace, Hermes Sandals

WHERE: Went to this cute pup's Barkday Party at Pig Beach in Brooklyn just before noon and ended up staying into the evening.

WHY: Yeah, so this picture is so bad because we were too busy having a really fun Saturday that I completely forgot to get an appropriate OOTD shot. It wasn't until we were leaving the bar hours later that I realized we needed to at least get something. I guess that is the mark of a really fun day! It was bright and sunny when we arrived at Pig Beach around 11:30 in the morning, so I threw on my favorite summer hat. Though it wasn't quite needed by the time we actually left about nine hours later. But I was so afraid I was going to lose it so I kept it on the entire time. Sometimes you've just gotta do what you've gotta do.

SUNDAY

Laura Behnke The Life Actually Company What I Really Wore J. Crew Top Janessa Leone Hat

WHAT: J. Crew Top (sold out), J. Crew Pants (old), Sam Edelman Sandals (old), Janessa Leone Hat

WHERE: A quiet Sunday spent at home and included a long walk with the dogs.

WHY: After a very long day on Saturday we kept things simple on Sunday and stayed close to home. But we did take the dogs on a long walk which was a lot of fun. We had my friend Sam and her labradoodle, Poppy staying with us all week and the dogs loved walking together. They were also really good at dealing with impromptu photoshoots along the way!
