Closet Confection: The Neutral Zone

{Ralph Lauren Jacket  & Boots (also love these and these) , Zara Sweater, H&M Jeans and Necklace, Chloe Handbag, c/o oNecklace Monogram Ring}

This outfit is full of so many things I love right now that I’m not even sure where to begin, so here’s go nothin’:

1. Favorite  “movie” jacket: I call it that because it’s made of a cozy thick sweatshirt material that makes it perfect for chilly movie theaters.  In fact, I was on my way to see Gravity when I stopped to snap these pics.  This piece is a relic from the now defunct Rugby line from Ralph Lauren, and it’s gotten LOTS of love over the years. It also feels like I’m channeling the fabulously dressed Olivia Pope whenever I wear it. 
   
2. “Lucky” handbag: Now I already told you guys how I scored this Chloe beauty for a ridiculous price last summer due to a computer glitch, but it truly is one of my best bargain finds to date.  I always expect something magical to happen every time I carry it.
3. Monogram ring: I’ve been a sucker for customized baubles for a quite some time (as you can see).  So I was completely overjoyed when the generous folks over at oNecklace sent me this gorgeous monogram ring.  I’ve had it for a week, and I’ve been wearing it nonstop.  No fading or turning my fingers green (even though I’m a chronic handwasher), so I’m a pretty happy camper.  Fair warning: their website (and prices) are a little addictive.  I like my ring so much that I’m dipping into my own pockets for a monogram bracelet.
4. Boot-scootin’ boogie: A good pair of boots are always at the top of my fall shopping list, and this year I scored big time at Century 21.  In addition to being the perfect calf size (sleek, but not tight, and no bunching at the ankle), they’re also made of good quality leather and are comfy to boot (pun intended).
