I'm a Rebel

Polka dots FTW!  LOVE this fab scarf so much.  I got it at a Talbots Factory Outlet way back in the day.  I'm not sure if you guys shop there, but they carry some seriously cute stuff sometimes!  I especially like their skirts, jewelry, and scarves (duh).
I started with basics:  white sweater (thanks to Design History) + gray skinnies (bought years ago on sale at TJ Maxx for $40).  The printed scarf, snakeskin ankle boots, and striped bow bag add mad personality IMO.  BTW, if you have a TJ Maxx Runway near you, you need to hit that up STAT! They have the most ridiculous selection - tons of huge designers for discounted prices!
A closer look at my new wedge booties from Rebels.  These shoes are so freakin' sexy! LOVE the snakeskin. Anywho, if you wanna snag a pair for yourself, you're in luck!  Rebels Footwear has GENEROUSLY offered to give Sensible Stylista readers an extra 20% off their entire purchase with the code STYLISTA20! Make sure you hustle cause this offer will ONLY last for 20 days (for the first 20 customers).

Sensible Stylista x Johnston & Murphy

Alright guys, the season of pumpkin-errthang and layering is upon us.  Totes exciting, right?  In honor of Autumn, I've decided to showcase a few of my Fall must-haves today on SS.  I've partnered up with Johnston & Murphy so I'll be centering my outfits around my fave J&M pieces.
First up, my new J&M blazer.  I absolutely LOVE the material and pattern - wool and houndstooth scream Fall IMO.  Blazers are wardrobe staples for sure.  I recommend purchasing a couple different styles (ie. fun colors, fabrics, prints) in addition to basic black.
I styled my wool blazer with a flowy dress and belted it to highlight the small of the waist - doing so elongates one's legs like whoa and who can say no to that, ha.  To top off the look, I grabbed my tan everyday tote and threw on shoes to match!  
Time for look number 2 - I call it, casual but effortlessly chic in riding boots."  I swear guys, the craftsmanship at J&M = ridiculous.  These boots are a true testament to the quality of their designs. Oh, and they're super comfy - memory foam insoles FTW!
Anywho, I had to use this outfit shot because of Daisy!  Doesn't she look absolutely adorable?  This photo is 34039509x better because of her *grins*
Last but not least, my Brynn Cuff booties.  I've been living in these shoes as of late.  The folded cuffs are so chic, and the design itself is crazy versatile.  As y'all can see, the shoes look amazing dressed up, but trust me, they look just as good styled with skinny jeans, a plain tee, and a moto jacket!
Let's take a closer look at my shoes!  I wanted to show you guys the L-shaped hardware.  Cute right? Love, love, LOVE these shoes!  Oh, and FYI, these stunning booties are available in 3 other colors.

Design History

Super excited to feature this fab sweater today on SS!  Design History is officially one of my new favorite brands - their pieces are ridonkulously cute!  Have you guys heard of them?  If not, you guys need to check them out STAT!
I love wearing colorful sweaters.  I'm into vibrant prints and hues in general, but they're EXTRA fun in Fall & Winter.  If you're ever in a rush, follow this foolproof formula: colorful sweater + skinnies + nude shoes = good to go. I recommend nude shoes because they go with anything and everything.
I LOVE the back!  The zipper's such a cute idea, don't you think?
