Fall Wardrobe ala APC

I know I just declared my undying love for and unhealthy crush on Urban Outfitters' fall offerings. But I find myself having a bit of a wandering eye. An eye that's wandering right over to APC.

LEFT: I love the sweater vest (Sleeveless Pullover, $240) that is just the right touch of nerd, worn with a classic plaid scarf (Scottish Plaid Scarf, $120) and uber-chic ankles (High-heel Boots, $630), to dress up (and sex up) this buttoned-up look. RIGHT: So french. So perfect. A slim trench (Classic Trench Coat, $440) over a feminine but understated cotton dress (Bow Dress, $280), given a masculine and casual touch of flat lace-up boots (Lace-Up Ankle Boots, $480) is such a romantic look for walking around on a rainy fall day - all while looking unbelievably cool.

LEFT: I am having great daydreams of myself living a very cool life in this plaid cape (Cape with Diagonal Buttoning, $440), maybe paired with my obsession-worthy tassel loafers courtesy of Bass and maybe a skirt, to keep things semi-girly. RIGHT: Same vest, same boots, yet now paired with a parka (Parka with Removable Lining, $550) and printed peter pan collar dress ('Girl' Dress, $230). Such a great juxtaposition of feminine and masculine, day and night.

I am drowning in my own love for this nautical-inspired jacket. Lord knows I love the nautical look, and always will, and I am dying to play dress up in this short jacket (Sailor Coat, $540). I think I would instead pair it with a frilly dress and clunky heels for evening and throw on some beat up ballets for day.
