Before going to Paris for Fashion Week, Los Angeles was in a major heat wave. So when I arrived in the City of Lights, I was so thrilled to finally experience Fall weather and dress for it! When it’s colder out, I want something warm and comfortable, but I also want to stay stylish. My solution? Classic pieces. For this look I paired a white-button down with a lace collar detail, a plaid blazer, some coated jeans and these amazing blush tone boots from Valentino (similar HERE). It’s one of those outfit formulas that just can’t go wrong! As you know, I tend to gravitate toward more preppy looks and silhouettes. Something about pairing a white button up and a structured blazer makes me feel very collegiate! It kept me warm while sight seeing around Paris with the team and kept me looking polished and expensive when I needed to go to meetings!
As most of you know by now and if you follow me on snapchat, you know I’m always on the go. So, I try to keep my hair and makeup simple and easy and stick to what is going to allow me to get out the door faster. On this day I tied my hair back for a super effortless look which helped show off the lace detail on my blouse. I kept my makeup clean and classic with just a cat eye and a bold lip! It’s a make up look I’m pretty sure I can do in my sleep at this point!
What’s your go-to outfit for a chilly autumn day? Let me know below & be sure to follow my snapchat (@chrisellelim) to see what I’ve been up to in Greece!

Things can never be argued with a simply classic white button shirt. The fashion icon of this world. A white shirt is a simple white shirt. The only difference is the one who wears it and style it with an attitude which makes it a totally captivating stylish and stand out . . . And speaking from the heart . . . No one does it better than Mademoiselle Chriselle. 🙂
