A dress for (f)all

Dress //  Ankle Boots  //  Earrings c/o //  Ring  //  Nail Polish

Despite the dropping temperatures, I remain a die hard "dress girl" when it comes to my non-office wear. In the fall, I opt for dresses in thicker materials, and I always pair them with ankle boots. You may remember these ankle boots from this post- where I talk about why these are the most flattering lil boots! 

I love this dress. The color is so gorgeous, the zipper detailing adds dimension, and the shape of the dress makes it universally flattering (... a dress for (f) ALL - get it?! ha) I decided to add statement earrings as a final touch for this look. These earrings are from Happiness Boutique, and they have a number of great statement earrings available.

I am looking forward to this first weekend of November. It has been quite cold and gloomy here in Vancouver so I think I may spend all of tonight curled up by the fire. I have been binge watching Downton Abbey lately, and can't seem to get enough!

So. Many. Lawyers.

One of my favorite parts of this blogging adventure I've been on for the past year has been getting to know fellow bloggers - especially fellow lawyer bloggers. Tif was one of the first bloggers I ever connected with and it was SO much fun to discuss (in addition to our love of Kendra Scott & Lilly Pulitzer) the differences between being a lawyer in Canada and the US. This certainly wasn't something I expected to have emerge from this blogging adventure, but I am so grateful to have made so many friends and fashionista-colleagues!

Today we wanted to link up and show you "lawyer style" and our five different takes on what that means. You should definitely check out all of these lovely ladies blogs to see more of their outfit pics as well as to learn more about their awesome selves! Direct links to their blogs are at the end of this post. For now though... let's get you to my outfit pics!

Faux leather accents are a huge trend this fall and I could not be more excited about that. For the past few years I have been incorporating faux leather accents into my work wardrobe. I love how - when used in moderation - it looks professional but tough. Work outfits can really affect your mood/ how you take on the day and I find that faux leather gives me a huge confidence boost!

I also love adding touches of other fall trends to my daily work outfits - which is why emerald, burgundy & leopard print all make appearances in this work look. Do you try to incorporate fall trends into your work looks? What are your favourite looks for work?

For anyone stopping by from the other lawyers blogs- HI!! Thanks for stopping by! I love to get to know new readers so feel free to introduce yourself in the comments below! Follow me on bloglovin to keep up with my posts.
