Oh Monday, you’re back so soon! I feel like it was only Friday afternoon a blink ago, and now the week is already back at it. And judging from how late I went to bed last night {presidential debate AND the Packer game? So much action all in one evening} I have a feeling today is going to be a real doozie. Thank goodness for lattes though, right? I think today might be a 2 latte day for me.

But I can’t complain too much because this weekend was a pretty good one. Between a delicious dinner at Far Rice in Logan Square {Chicagoans, have you been? It’s so good!}, to a few too many ciders at Derby on Saturday night, to the most beautiful fall weather a gal could ask for – this weekend was one for the books. And I’m extra excited because this week is going to be a short one since I’m heading to Florida on Thursday morning for a long weekend of relaxing and celebrating Tom’s friends getting married! Being a plus one definitely has it’s perks and hopefully the weather will cooperate so I can enjoy the weekend beachside.maya-charmingly-styled-3-of-12 maya-charmingly-styled-4-of-12 maya-charmingly-styled-2-of-12Since it finally started to feel like fall, I finally busted out this comfy dress I picked up from Margaret O’Leary a few weeks back. I’ve been a long time fan of the brand, and I love their luxe knits and cashmere sweaters for the colder fall and winter months. They have the cutest store on Armitage in Chicago right down the street from me, and I always love stopping in to try on their comfy sweaters, knits and jackets. While looking through their fall look book, this fall sweater dress immediately caught my eye, and I love how it’s modest enough to wear for work, but also has some slide slits that makes it perfect for date night too! And to be totally honest, I might have worn this outfit for most of the weekend – it was jut so comfortable that I couldn’t bring myself to change out of it {on Sunday Tom finally had to ask me if I was planning to wear anything else that weekend, oops!} It’s so comfy, crazy flattering, and I love that it has long sleeves to pop out from under moto jackets or sweaters on a chilly night. How can you blame me for being an outfit repeater a few times in a row?!

I love pairing this dress with my leather jacket {a Rebecca Minkoff super steal from Nordstrom Rack last year!} and these new pointy booties from Marc Fisher and my favorite Valentino purse. It always seems like a good idea to rock some neutrals during the fall, and I have a feeling I’ll be wearing this on repeat until it officially becomes winter jacket season…hopefully we at least have a few months before that happens 😉 maya-charmingly-styled-5-of-12 maya-charmingly-styled-7-of-12maya-charmingly-styled-6-of-12Now that the weather is officially fall-like, I’ve been getting into serious fall mode. From busting out pumpkin candles, apple cider donuts {seriously, I can’t stop eating them…}, to whipping up some warm bourbon cocktails, I’m officially in the fall spirit. I even had my first pumpkin spice latte of the season, which served as my yearly reminder that I’m actually not a huge fan of PSLs, haha.

The best part of the season is definitely bringing out my favorite fall clothes and sweaters I had tucked away for the warmer months, who knew I had so many awesome sweaters hiding in my closet? I’m excited for them to make a comeback!maya-charmingly-styled-9-of-12 maya-charmingly-styled-10-of-12I hope you all had a nice weekend and are easing into your Monday morning too 😉 Have any fun plans this week? Please share with the class! xx
