Rules are Meant to Be Broken

Top: J.Crew (similar here and here)
Jeans: Zara (also love these and these)
Jacket: BLANKNYC via Nordstrom (available in black, grey, and fuchsia)
Booties: Sole Society (similar here and here)
Accessories: Vince Camuto necklace (similar here and here)  // Tory Burch crossbody (also love this)

So I guess I broke the no-wearing-white-after-Labor-Day-rule…but I couldn’t help it since it was so nice in Seattle!  To make sure I still looked “fall-ish” with this pair of white denim, I styled it with a loose grey tee and my go-to burgundy leather jacket.  I also threw on these nude cut-out booties to up my cool-girl-look factor.  It’s ok to break the rules sometimes, right ;)?
