What I wore: Fall Wine Tasting

Fall is such a beautiful time of year in DC and the surrounding smaller towns — if you drive an hour outside the city, you find yourself in the rolling hills of Virginia with striking folage in rich shades of yellow, red, and orange. We spent a recent Sunday with friends enjoying a beautiful vineyard outside of DC — the air was crisp and the leaves were in the early stages of turning. Thanks to Sézane for sponsoring this post, read on for what I wore for an afternoon at Crimson Lane Vineyards.

Sézane has great knitwear and the Melvin sweater is the perfect amount of cozy and “chunky knit” without feeling bulky. It is a cotton blend, so it is soft with no itch. As a side note — if you have sensitive skin, you should always plan to layer with a light base layer when wearing the alpaca or mohair knits from Sézane as those are a little scratchy. I paired the knit with a fall forward mini skirt in a lovely green shade. If you have a more curvy butt/hips, consider sizing up in the skirt. I sized up since my normal size was too tight through the butt/hips. A knee high boot is a great way to balance out the shorter hemline of the mini skirt and the block heel on the boot was practical for walking around the vineyard. I took my normal size in the boot and found the shaft to fit a little wide, but the perfect height. Topped it all off with my new favorite jacket from Sezane — I constantly get compliments on this when I wear it! I took my normal size and it fits perfectly for layering.

Thank you again to Sézane for sponsoring this post! If you’re not familiar with the brand, Sézane is a Parisian brand that just celebrated its 10 year anniversary. Season after season, the label delivers effortless french girl fashion with a feminine and vintage vibe. I’m so excited to continue partnering with Sézane through this Fall and Winter to share more of their beautiful pieces and styling inspo!
