Given the lack of temperature change in California’s “fall” I’ve been relying on fabrics and textures to shift my wardrobe into the season without the heavy layers as I’m used to from Chicago and the east coast. This wool skirt was a recent J. Crew find and I love how it feels like fall, even with bare legs, and would be perfect for the holidays with plaid and black tights.
