As you guys know, I’m trying really hard to break out of my comfort zone this season and wear neutrals and black more often.

I’ve had my eyes on a pair of black loafers for the longest time, but I was a bit nervous that I wouldn’t get very much wear out of them. Wrong. While I love my brown loafers, black loafers–especially these patent ones–totally class up casual outfits and give ’em that extra pop. Oh, and did I mention that they’re insanely comfortable and don’t rub? Cute shoes that I can actually wear while running around the city and/or mommy-ing? That’s pretty spectacular!

And it’s official: I’m sweater vest-obsessed this year. This one from Johnston & Murphy, though, is my absolute favorite. Because I’m so pale and have blonde hair, I always thought I’d look pretty awful in tans and browns. But I have to say: a little bit of blush goes a long way! And I’m so glad I took the chance on this vest, because it’s on constant rotation these days. I love the hood and the pockets, and that it’s the perfect transitional piece for fall. With it, I can totally get away with wearing my thinner tops and blouses for a while longer.

Anyway, check out my favorite clothing and shoes from Johnston & Murphy below. I’ve been a huge fan of the company’s loafers for what seems like forever, but I adore the clothing, too. Believe me: the investment is worth it. :) The brand’s quality is amazing and lasts for years!
