Look 1
A flowy blouse paired with a simple beaded necklace and the perfect pointed flat shoe.
Lauren: I love how lightweight and flattering this top is. I’m a November baby, so I love all the fall colors. And this hobo bag, it’s great to throw all your stuff in. That’s the pop. Each piece picks up the fall colors.
Francesca: On a hot day in September, you can wear it and not look like you’re in July. Jeans can be dressed up or down, and people want to be comfortable. You can wear them with such versatility and still look put together.
Look 2
The classiest black jacket you’ve ever seen with a sexy heel that has just enough bling.
Lauren: I feel very elegant and put together. My style has been changing. I’ve been leaning into more conservative and elegant looks that are sophisticated.
Francesca: It’s elegant and covered, but it’s stylish. The jacket is oversized intentionally. It’s organza. You can wear it with jeans and sneakers or dress it up. Think of it as a luxe jean jacket. The structured bag is ladylike and is just as versatile as the jacket.
Look 3
A navy gingham blazer with casual raw edges and a pop of Dior.
Lauren: I love these jeans. The blazer is stunning. And the sneakers make everything feel casual yet put together. I could totally wear this out to lunch with friends or a business meeting.
Francesca: This is entry into fall when it’s still hot out. You’re not wearing bright colors. The jacket is a deconstructed blazer, so it’s sporty. Sneakers make it comfortable, and a good bag goes with everything. You can even wear the blazer with a navy trouser. But I love the fringe on the jeans and on the jacket.
