Transition mode is in full swing here in Kansas City– the leaves are turning and the nights are cool, but we’ve been climbing into the mid-70s and 80s in the afternoons. Perfect time to mix summer blouses with lightweight jackets.
This striped number from JCrew Factory is sleeveless and oh-so-summer when worn alone, but felt a little more like fall when I layered a chocolate faux leather jacket over the top. Love the open + draped front of the jacket, and this is certainly faux leather done right. Medium wash skinnies, a pair of brown suede ankle boots great for leaf-crunching, and a layered necklace combo got me out the door for an afternoon of errands + meetings.
Shop the look:
Last week, I was given the opportunity by a local television station to appear on their mid-morning show, Better KC. They wanted to talk 90s fashion, which you guys know I’m all about lately (exhibits a, b, and c). I was soooo nervous– guys, we’re talking live television with zero delay. I was almost positive I was going to pass out, pee my pants, or drop an f-bomb.
Much to my surprise, none of those things happened. (Whew.) I credit the awesome crew at KCTV5, who gave me a ton of control preparing the segment and were so relaxed in those final moments as we prepared to go on air.
Wanna watch? Okay then, check it out.
Shoutout to the KCTV5 + Better KC crew! Thank you for having me!

I’m not normally a fan of open draped jackets but I actually love this one, I think because it’s not too long and it almost looks like a cape!
