First Fashion: You Had Me at Hello

I’ve been saying “I’m a sucker for [fill in the blank]” since fall’s finest started flowing into Shopbop back in July, and I realized I may be overusing the expression when one such exclamation prompted a fellow Shopbopper to respond, “Amie, you’re a sucker for everything.” Everything? I don’t think so, but many of the season’s facets are certainly appealing to my aesthetic sense. Today, I’m a sucker for a few ladylike pieces:

I find short sleeves on things that, for practical purposes, shouldn’t have short sleeves (i.e. outerwear, cashmere cardigans) to be absolutely darling. This jacket caters to that inclination, without abandoning the pragmatic. Lela Rose - Cashmere Ribbed Sleeve Jacket

I shunned florals for a good chunk of my adult life, but this past spring, they started to grow on me and now I can’t get enough of them. This silhouette is timeless and sophisticated, and the pretty pattern feels a little vintage. Catherine Malandrino - Belted Floral Dress

Like florals, I’ve always fancied ruffles to be a touch too girly for me. Enter fall’s subtler iteration of frilly trim. And it doesn’t hurt that this pair sates my grey accessories obsession. Report Signature - Watts Ruffle Zipper Pumps

Let fashion make a sucker out of you (in the best way), in What’s New.

--Amie
