Elevated dressing for fall events and a note on personal style

Building your dream wardrobe takes time, especially when it comes to event dressing. Investing in fewer, timeless, high-quality pieces will go a long way. Jewelry plays an essential role in elevating an outfit, especially for special occasions. Watches (and evening bags) are my personal favorite accessories, and they’re a key part of styling an evening look. Yes, my husband’s influence is clear here! Lately, I’ve been loving my Serpenti watch over long-sleeved blouses—it truly completes the outfit and makes an even bigger statement than a cuff.

Instead of trying to wear something new to every event, embrace the beauty of re-wearing your clothes and accessories, letting them become part of your personal style. Rotating through your favorite pieces adds so much authenticity to your look. The most stylish people are those who truly wear their clothes, not those constantly chasing something new. I’ve fully embraced this mentality, and it’s helped me declutter both my home and my life. There’s something undeniably chic about turning certain items into your signature and watching them evolve with you!

Your new workhorse dresses… dress up for a wedding or down for a cocktail party / special dinner.

silk dress / slingback pumps / sock boots /90’s leather bag / earrings

black dress / slingback pumps (can do with a boot like the above) / ruby signet ring / victoria clutch / byredo perfume

same style as the above but a top instead of a dress… great with a trouser or denim

A really great black blouse and pair of pants—yet another great find from Toteme. I purchased this satin top in August when I was in London and I have been wearing it often with denim. I plan to complete the set for my next cocktail event. Pants will be beautiful with sweaters, button downs and beautiful coats this fall and winter.

The perfect black mini with endless styling possibilities. Vintage evening bags are something really special and fun to hunt down. They aren’t but feel like one of a kind pieces… my mom has a bunch of my grammy’s and I am always rotating through. They are so special and will continue to be passed down.

and you already know how I feel about this slip dress… beautiful to a wedding or layered under a chunky knit and boots.

If I had to pick any dress to add to my wardrobe for a wedding season and price wasn’t an issue it would be this insanely gorgeous gown from The Row (more sizes here)… as you can probably imagine it’s even more beautiful in person
