UNDERSTATED AND ELEVATED IN SHADES OF BROWN

Lately, I’m loving shades of brown, especially chocolate brown. This monochromatic outfit in various shades of brown manages to look understated and elevated at the same time.

I always start an outfit by picking the “star” piece. The buttery soft Faux Leather Moto Jacket in Toasted Java is the star of this outfit, and it looks luxurious and elevated. A moto jacket has been associated with a “bad boy” image, but there is nothing bad about this jacket. The material and hardware feel so nice, and the fit is great. I’m wearing my usual size 1, and there is plenty of room for the lightweight sweater underneath.

The quilted faux leather tote with snakeskin print trim keeps the outfit modern-looking, and I love the versatility since one side is brown and one is black.

I’ve paired it with a camel sweater and dark brown girlfriend jeans for a classic and chic look. The sweater and the girlfriend jeans run TTS. I’m wearing my usual size 1 in the sweater and .5 in the jeans.

I love a little bit of drama, so I added the Multistrand Bib Necklace. This necklace looks great with the camel sweater, but I can’t wait to wear it with a LBD for the holidays. The set of 3 bangles has a tortoiseshell look that goes great with the necklace.

I think the entire combo is very updated, elevated, and so chic.

These two pins need to get 200 Saves. I think I need around 50-75 SAVES per photo. I appreciate your help with this goal.

  1. i think i may have commented once in the past as being an autumn in coloring i often do not connect with your clothing color choices but i reeeeally like the shades of brown color choices…kind of tone on tone….in today’s blog…different than a monochromatic assortment…different but the same. And your premise can occur with any color….olive and lime greens are also coming to mind for me.

    Thank you also for your verse of the day which gives me a thought provoking reminder that God is always present .

    Bless you for your diligence.

  2. Love this look! Probably my fave! Will be likely adding to my closet as I am a big fan of Chico’s and it looks great on you!

  3. I own 2 moto jackets, brown and black. I have worn both, but partial to the brown one. I have brown jeans will have to start styling them again.

  4. I like brown, too, and I don’t know why I don’t wear it more! I think I’m probably in the minority, but I just don’t care for any faux leather that I’ve ever seen, so I choose other fabrics instead.

  5. Love the brown moto jacket for a change. Been wearing my black one for a couple seasons so it’s nice to see a new, dark color

  6. Oh, Lord! I have got to get my hands on those brown jeans! I have an obsession with brown this season along with olive green that is carrying over from spring/summer. And that moto jacket…yummy. Chicos needs a sale, STAT😀

  7. Brown is a color I never wore but I’m loving it this year too. Maybe because some shades are called chocolate! It looks great on you Tania.

  8. I’m loving brown pants this year but I struggle a bit with what color to pair them with. Love this combo!! And that moto jacket is gorgeous!! I finally sprung for a black one this year at the Nordstrom sale. 😍

  9. Like you, I have a lot of brown in my closet right now. I also have that handbag and look forward to making an outfit complete with it. What a great outfit on you! Have a great time in FL!

  10. In the past I haven’t worn too much brown, but you inspire me to try more. That purse with the different colors on the side is very interesting.

  11. The clothes from Chico’s never seems to catch my eye. However, I really like the way you style their clothing and it looks great on you. Love the jacket and necklace!

  12. Love the crewneck sweater. I bought two a few weeks ago in the plum and green colors. They can be easily dressed up or down.

  13. Love this look, so polished! I have a hard time going monochromatic and getting the different shades to look right together.

  14. Love the mix of shades of rich brown colors. I even went out and bought a brown nail polish yesterday since you inspired me the other week with your brown nail colors.

  15. I love the chocolate girlfriend jeans. No matter how fashionable, I cannot put even faux snake on my body or even in a purse. It looks lovely on you, though.

  16. Something about this outfit is a miss for me…I think it’s the pants and booties…but the colors are fabulous on you…

  17. I love love love the different shades of brown outfit. chocolate brown has always been an absolute favorite of mine. You nailed this outfit!

  18. Love all of these fall outfits! That snake skin satchel is so fun!!! I may need that one! (Pinned your pins too.)

  19. This is a great outfit. Love the jacket and pants.The brown looks great on you.
    Another wonderful outfit. I will be shopping at Chico’s today.
    Thank you for great ideas.

  20. I like your styling options for brown. Black is my go to color. That jacket looks rich in the brown. You look fabulous, as always!

  21. I love the brown monochromatic outfit from chicos. You constantly throw it out of the court! Love Moto jacket and your elegance
