Find of the Day: The Suede Mini ($14.99)

Stoked to tell you guys all about my latest find today on SS!  I picked this fabulous miniskirt up at H&M a few weeks ago and just had to feature it as a FOTD.  I actually paid full price for it ($29.99), but it's currently on sale for $14.99.  
I can't even begin to tell y'all how cute this skirt is.  It's perfect for fall + winter because it'll help elevate your texture game tenfold.
For today's OOTD, I kept things cohesive with a lace-up theme.  My top, also an H&M find, just so conveniently happens to match my faux-suede mini. Since there's a lot going on with my look, I chose to keep things simple on the accessory front!  To finish off my look, I threw on black boots and carried my Chanel boy.

Stitch Fix's Tastemaker Event: Part 1

I'm SO beyond pumped to share part 1 of my Stitch Fix trip with you guys!  If you've been following me on Snapchat (my handle's @sensiblestylist btw), you know that I was in San Francisco last week for an influencer event.  They graciously flew me out and hosted me at the beautiful Axiom Hotel. The trip was absolutely AMAZING!  I had the opportunity to see everything firsthand, and it was truly an unforgettable experience!  More to come on all that next Tuesday though.  For today's post, I'm going to share photos from Day 2.
Let's start with a fun snap of everyone - these are all the incredible bloggers I met on my trip:  How Does SheSimply Taralynn, Paleomg, Glam Dapper, Nany's Klozet, Africa Miranda,  April Athena 7, Ambitious Kitchen, Crazy TogetherMillennielle, C.R.A.F.T., and Kyrzayda.  Stitch Fix really put together a great group of women! They were all SO inspiring - it was truly an honor to meet all of them.  Make sure you guys check them out and follow if you're not already.
Stitch Fix treated us all like VIP, but we were especially spoiled on shoot day!  They surprised us with a whole new wardrobe and had La Mienne doll us up while we sipped on champagne.  I asked for big curls with lots of volume and Kim Kardashian make-up, ha.  As you can see, my hair and make-up artists were BOMB!  
Alright guys, that's it for today, but I'll be sharing a TON more very soon so keep your eyes peeled.  I can't wait to show you guys all the cool behind-the-scenes shots I have lined up!  Yay for cool adventures.

Getting Cozy in an Oversized Knit

I'm super pumped to share today's fall-friendly outfit post with you guys.  As you all know, I'm a huge fan of dresses.  My closet's full of beautiful summery pieces!  Now, since I'm sensible and all that jazz, I make sure to get as much wear out of 'em as possible, which means *drum roll, please* I whip 'em out on the daily in cold weather.
If today's featured dress looks familiar, it's because it should!  I wore it on my brunch date with La Belle Mel a few weeks ago at Bethesda Row.  However, I swapped in my light knit + wedge combo for a cozy cardigan and chunky cowboy boots.
Let's take a closer look at my new boots courtesy of Cat Footwear.  They're super comfy and (very conveniently) match my vintage crossbody bag.
