Finding separates that match before your morning coffee can be a bit… daunting.  I mean, there’s something about waking up in the morning and throwing on your favorite dress that just makes life easy.  BUT!  Matching sets combine the ease of a dress with the functionality of separates, tripling the outfit options. Wear them together, wear the blouse alone with your favorite jeans, wear the skirt solo with a chunky burgundy knit…  the options are endless.  Coords like this chain link printed blouse and pleated midi skirt are among my favorite closet staples, and will definitely continue to be the hero pieces of my wardrobe this fall.

Also worth mentioning is this beautiful burgundy mini bag, part of Tory Burch’s latest collection of handbags which is not to be missed.  If you’ve followed for a while, you know I’ve been a huge fan of the brand for years (who isn’t?) and her latest bags are particularly up my alley.  Clean lines, classic jewel tones, and always the perfect marriage of form and function—these beauties were at the top of my fall wishlist.  I’m also SWOONING over the larger version which comes in the same three perfect colors (burgundy, black and navy) and has that timeless vintage satchel silhouette that gets me every time.  If you’re in the market for the perfect work to weekend, wear-everywhere bag, this just might be the winner.
