Instead of heading to fashion week in the fall, I can usually be found heading to an annual legal education conference, and this year, we had our conference in the mountains. The dress code is very casual, so I decided to take advantage of it (and of the cooler weather!) and try out some of my new fall pieces--with a couple older favorites--for this look.

I recently picked up these jeans from Topshop and was pleasantly surprised at how nicely they fit and how comfortable they were. The material is soft with just the right amount of stretch, and the light gray acid wash was something I didn't have in my closet.

I've been looking for a pair of boots like the Stuart Weitzman 5050 for a while since the 5050 didn't work well for my wider feet. I ended up finding a new-in-box pair (also by Stuart Weitzman) in an older style with a slightly higher heel via Poshmark that worked for me (the Hijack looks like a similar current style). I was able to walk around all day in them up in the mountains with no foot fatigue despite the heel. I'm hoping I won't be able to wear them in Denver for a little while yet, though--I'm not ready to embrace winter temperatures quite yet!

Happy Monday!
