It’s the time of year where summer fights the fall weather and we are all rooting for autumn to win. Only in the morning is a jacket welcome around here but anything is better than nothing when it comes to fall. I’m cold in the morning, hot by the afternoon but I get to wear this jacket I’ve been holding on to since August. Plus this dress is half backless so when I take my jacket off it looks like I’m working it at a club instead of working it at my desk. Honestly though I like to get away with things that I couldn’t before e.g. wearing a dip back dress between the hours of 9 to 5. I mean what is the point of being your own boss if you can’t wear a revealing dress to work in your own home office?!? Exactly.

Every entrepreneur has a passion that drives her — apparently mine is clothes.

  1. Great simple outfit! I’ve been loving booties and dress combos for the beginning of Fall!

  2. You look gorgeous here, Kendie! Another fine example that simplicity always wins! Love it! And I’m loving how the hemline dips in the back. So cute!

  3. And by Kendie, I mean Kendi. I know this, my fingers and brain just don’t communicate sometimes. SORRY!

  4. That dress is fabulous! And I love the jacket. Perfect fall look!

  5. Whoa, we’re wearing the exact same outfit today! Except, I added tights to my look because I’m in Alaska and, you know, it’s cold. 🙂

    You look great!

  6. SO cute! Love the shoes! You can work whatever you want sitting at your own desk! I tend to prefer pajamas…your look is MUCH cuter. 😉

  7. Love that jacket. I know what you mean. I wore jeans this morning and now it’s 90 degrees outside. Get with the fall program, Texas.

  8. Here’s a super personal question for you: What kind of bra are you wearing with that dress?? Thanks!

    1. I just wear a normal one and a black camisole underneath it, but they do make bras that dip in the back! But I dont care that much so I just wear a cami 🙂

  9. This outfit is great for this mid-Fall time. I’ve been wanting a military-inspired jacket for a while but I’ve not yet made the plunge.

  11. Exactly. Isn’t that the whole point of working for yourself? Bossing yourself around and wearing whatever the heck you want?! 🙂 Love the way you’ve styled the boots. I’ve been drooling over short boots and wondering if I should invest in a pair. But in rainy Eugene, OR where sweatshirts and outdoor gear is fashionable, it’s hard to justify them over a tall pair of boots. 🙂

  12. You are absolute perfection. I love the jacket, too much. So glad this color and style is coming back into style! So classic.

  13. I love the jacket and the shoes! Exactly what i’m wearing this fall. You are such an inspiration.

    I am not enjoying having to style around my job so far, it gets frustrating! Not all skirts go to the knee!

  23. love this whole outfit – those booties and the army jacket totally make it!

  30. Do you love that bag as much as I think I do? It looks perfect and it is on my wish list, should I get it?

  32. I love the dress and boots combo, it always looks great with bare legs but there are so few days in the year you can get away with it. Much too hot for it here now sadly. 🙁
