Although I love fashion and trends and innovation, but I most comfortable wearing neutrals and classics. Here are my most favorite items and absolute basics. Many of these pieces are able to transition through the seasons, but this post is focused to Fall, my favorite season of the year.

She Has A Mannish Style Japanese  pattern book is my all time favorite. Not only does it have more complicated pieces, like blazers and fully detailed slacks; it has the major dose of meswear that I love! Check out some of my projects to see what I have made from this book already, and click 'Read More' to see all the books' contents.

ps, I am totally in love with the model too. Isn't she just wonderful!!

This is an old project of mine, inspired by an anthropologie top. I really miss Peru because I had so much free time to experiment and a create the wildest things! Not to mention materials are ridiculously cheap. A crafters dream combo. Check out the full garment here.

I posted on Saturday about a few thrifted items I completely fell in love with and promised photos, well here they are!

I love cozy knits, this J Crew sweater was only $6!

This skirt is off to the tailors to be hemmed just above the knee.
The chaps shirt was found in the boys section!

I bought the most amazing camel wool skirt suit today, my first suit ever. Plus a red plaid button down and a chunky knit sweater. I must be in a Autumn state of mind, photos are certainly to come!

Sasahara Noriko's Nonchalant Feminine Clothes pattern books is one of my favorites lately. I have already made, or am in the process of making patterns C, I, J, L, M and Q! Click 'Read More' to see all the patterns the book comes with!
