Including my fall must-haves.
If you’ve been a Wake-Up Caller from the beginning, you might remember that I used to do a series on Fridays where I told you what I was reading, eating, watching, and listening to each week. I missed that routine, so I wanted to share what I’ve been into lately! But we’re expanding the idea beyond food and entertainment to share even more of my current obsessions — including Instagram accounts I can’t stop scrolling and products I’m loving.
In short, I’m obsessed! Here’s a look at what I’m watching, reading, eating, and wearing. What have you been obsessed with lately? Write me at info@katiecouric.com and let me know!
Hello from the other side of Labor Day! I’m back in the city, and back in the office, which in the middle of August sounded like a drag, but now that I’m here it’s good to be back! I was admiring all of my colleagues’ outfits, and thought I would share some inspiration from the 20- and 30- somethings I work with! If you’re looking for a work wardrobe refresh, here are some things I’m looking forward to adding to my closet and some oldies but goodies that I turn to every fall!
What I’m layering…
Recognize my Orvis coat that I’m wearing in the photo above? You know it, you love it, you see me wear it every year! I wear it when I go pheasant hunting, just kidding…I wear it to the grocery store. Plus, I love the color — it matches the changing leaves and your pumpkin spice latte!
I also love my camel cardigan from Sh*t That I Knit. I wear it over a white shirt or blouse. I also like black and camel, so it looks good with a black turtleneck (I got a sleeveless one on sale recently at J.Crew) and black cigarette pants from Sara Campbell. This sweater is the perfect transitional piece.
What I’m stepping into…
Chunky loafers are all the rage right now, and my assistant Sam was sporting this cute pair from Steve Madden. I’ve learned that anything platform is in — leave all things flat at home — so look for a pair with a nice, thick base. At 5’3 (and shrinking) I could use the height!
What I’m lounging in after hours…
If I could only keep one outfit in my closet, it would be this sweatsuit from Spanx — these pants and this sweatshirt. It is unbelievably comfortable and looks nice enough to wear around the neighborhood. It’s the perfect thing to wear when you’re bingeing your favorite show on these cool autumn nights.
What I’m wearing…
I know this is a bit of a splurge, but I love these Derek Lam sailor pants and think I’ll get a ton of mileage out of them. They’re the perfect thing to throw on in the morning if you know you won’t have time to change before your events at night! (PS: I found a lookalike pair from Ralph Lauren that’s under $100, and the cropped version of the Derek Lam pant is on sale at Nordstrom Rack!)
