Nanette Lepore miniskirt, $248

The heat index in DC will reach between 105 and 109 degrees today, so let’s fantasize about cool breezes and brisk fall days, shall we?

Fall fashion is my favorite, and this Nanette Lepore look is precisely why. Tweed miniskirts and tights? I’d wear that every day if I could. This skirt is just perfection – the impeccable pleats, the high waist with the thick band that flatters everybody, the way it curves out to enhance your figure, and that perfect color. We see so many eggplants and cranberries in fall fashion (colors, not fruits and veggies) that it’s easy to forget that other colors are also perfect for autumn. This dark teal color is just amazing; best of all, it can go with brown OR black OR grey, so accessorizing it is easy! Such an enviable piece of fall fashion.
