The autumn days have been so lovely, with warm sun and crisp cool air.  My wardrobe is slowly transitioning into proper autumn attire - I add a sweater here, a layer there, boots instead of sandals.

These wide-leg trousers and lightweight patterned sweater are the perfect companions to my black wide-brimmed Ripple Effect hat.  The trousers, an Anthropologie buy from about 10 years ago, are a heavyweight cotton with a generous cuff and crisscross lacing at the back waist.  I've worn them to death and they are still going strong. The sweater is a Marc Jacobs beauty that I snagged at Century 21 in NYC on major clearance a few years back, and is a great mix of wool & cotton.  Also wearing my trusty All Saints boots.

I've done a couple of closet clear-outs recently, and it's always interesting to see what makes the cut and what I'm ready to let go of.  It's a pretty good bet that these two pieces will stay until they're worn through.
