Blouse: Topshop (also love this one and more below) | Pants: Theyskens’ Theory (similar here and here) | Shoes: Steve Madden (old but very similar here and also love these ones) | Blazer: Brooks Brothers | Bracelets: Alex and Ani | Ring: c/o Henri Bendel | Polish: Essie (Adore-A-Ball)
As you may have noticed, I’ve been on a bit of a black and white binge lately. The simplified color palette has been mostly inadvertent, but somehow really refreshing in the transition to fall. If you’re a color fan (like I am, usually), don’t worry, I promise I haven’t made any kind of chromatic vow of silence. Many more bright hues to come!

Love this! I mentioned your work looks on my blog today and this is exactly the kind of ensemble I get inspiration from…love that the look is so classic but on-trend at the same time with the fit of the shirt!
Every woman should have some good quality basics in their closets. You styled the blouse perfectly. Very chic and elegant.

Thank you! I didn't include a close up of these shoes because they're a bit older and unavailable online. However, I wear them in another post — http://memorandum.wpengine.com/2014/01/loose.html — where you can see a close up shot. But if you're interested in purchasing a pair, take a look through the very similar options I've listed above. Some are almost identical : )
Wow, that's so sweet of you. Thank you for including me!

I'm liking the simple palette! Especially how you've paired the tan jacket with the black and white outfit, very nice.
