I hope your week is going well! I'm popping in for a quick hello as it has been a busy week at work trying to get ready for a big meeting this week.  

A leather skirt is one of those great fall basics that serves me year after year.  I updated my version this year with this pleated one from Banana Republic.  I've loved it ever since I first saw it in the new arrivals section there.  It is sold out, but I've linked to several similar skirts.  I can't wait to style it so many different ways, especially with a cozy sweater and tights!  

What are some of the fall basics that you always reach for?

Have a great day!
