The Silk Top and the Blazer

October 6, 2014

Anyone living in SoCal right now is seasonally confused. We’re probably autumn’s hugest fans, but thanks to the heatwave we can’t dress to show our obsession. However, there are still ways to wear our favorite fall colors even when it feels like summer’s still here. That’s why I love pairing this thin burgundy top with a fitted blazer and shorts!

Pairing a statement necklace with these neutrals gives thisΒ lookΒ a personal flair. And I love wearing lipstick that matches the rest of my outfit!

What I’m wearing: Ann Taylor silk top / Rachel Zoe blazer (old, similar) / BCBG shorts / Anthropologie necklace (similar) / Tory Burch wedges (similar) / Revlon lipstick in Black Cherry

Having this easy, loose-fitting silk top has made this season so much easier. It’s comfortable, cool, and so easy to layer!

As you can see, I can always use some inspiration. So what are your favorite pieces this season?Let me know in the comments and I’ll check out your look! [Linking up withLisa a la Mode for this fashion post!]

    Such a cute outfit! I want to move to LA after I graduate (from the freezing cold Syracuse University) so this post is very inspiring for me πŸ™‚ (I type as I sit in sweatpants, sweatshirt under my comforter with my space heater on)

    • Daisy @ Simplicity Relished

      Thank you Jocelyn:) Sorry to hear it’s already so cold up there! I spent 5 years in New England– one in New Hampshire specifically– and it could get pretty darn freezing in the winter!! LA will welcome you with warm, open arms! I think it’s 95 out today:)

  • Whitney

    It just got cool this week in the South. Cool, not cold. SoCal has to be a hard place for transitional wear. Love the burgurndy top with the black blazer. It’s a great fall look without being too hot!

  • Melanie

    This red top is wonderful!! But I mean, isn’t everything from Ann Taylor wonderful?!

      Thank you so much Melanie! And yes, Ann Taylor is an amazing company!! I think I could open up my own AT boutique considering how much I’ve bought from them over the years πŸ˜‰

  • Amy Hodgdon

    So cute!

    I really love blazers- but never feel like I could really pull it off! I love the casual-ness that this outfit has to offer by pairing it with shorts!
    So pretty!

    • Daisy @ Simplicity Relished

      Thank you Amy!! yeah blazers can feel a bit formal, but when you get used to wearing them it’s amazing how versatile a single blazer can be! Oh also, I’m linking to one of your posts in my post tomorrow, so look out for that:)

  • She Said He Said – Fashion

    One of my favorite colors the past few fall seasons, oxblood for sure! Loving your simple chiffon tank with a statement necklace that is not too over powering. Are your Tory Burch flats comfortable?

    Xo Chelsea http://www.shesaidhesaidfashion.com

    • Daisy @ Simplicity Relished

      Hey Chelsea! Thanks so much:) Yes, this pair is pretty comfortable– they’re actually super short wedges, at around 1 inch. I’ve worn them for years and they’ve survived a few cold winters (not in LA of course), but I’d highly recommend trying them out!

  • Elizabeth Hisle

    Mmmm, oxblood is such a good color. I love to break out knee highs and boots.

    http://lamentinglizzie.blogspot.com

    • Daisy @ Simplicity Relished

      Yes absolutely. it’s totally boots weather somewhere else in the country!! Thanks for stopping by Elizabeth:)

  • Brooke

    I love this look, the burgundy top is such a pretty color on you! The necklace really pops too! My favorite piece this season has been my leopard flats, I find myself grabbing them every chance I get!
    Have a great day!
