MONDAY

Laura Behnke The Life Actually Company What I Really Wore Veronica Beard Blazer

WHAT: Veronica Beard blazer, Frame Jeans, Banana Republic camisole, Missoma London & Missoma London Necklaces

WHERE: Working from home with a video meeting.

WHY: Truth be told, I wore this blazer just for the meeting. Otherwise I was hanging out in the camisole with a big cardigan while I worked from home. And in all honest, I am barefoot because that is how I spent most of my day. Ah, the perks of working from home!

TUESDAY

Laura Behnke The Life Actually Company What I Really Wore

WHAT: Halogen x Atlantic-Pacific Blazer Coat (old), Frame Jeans, Gap Shoes (old) similar here, STAUD bag, Ann Taylor Scarf (sold out), Banana Republic camisole, Missoma London & Missoma London Necklaces

WHERE: I attended a press preview in the morning and then ran errands including picking up the new iPhone 11 Pro!

WHY: For the second day in a row I reached for these Frame Le Sylvie jeans which is a good sign that I love them! The weather has been chilly in the morning and warming up a little throughout the day, so this heavier blazer was the perfect weight. It can still pass as a blazer but is big enough (and heavy enough) to be a light coat as well.

TUESDAY NIGHT

Laura Behnke The Life Actually Company What I Really Wore Mackage Leather Jacket

WHAT: Mackage Leather Jacket (old), Jimmy Choo Knee Boots (sample sale find), Yummie Bodysuit, Caara Skirt, M2Malletier Bag (old)

WHERE: Event celebrating the 30th birthday of Botox and Botox Cosmetic

WHY: I rented this Caara skirt from Rent The Runway several months ago and ended up buying it because I loved the color and length and the fact that it's basically a sweater for your legs. I combined it with the Jimmy Choo knee high boots I scored at their spring sample sale and a Mackage leather jacket that is at least five years old. I spent a few hundred dollars on it at the time and the fact that I'm still wearing it proves it was worth the investment.

WEDNESDAY

Laura Behnke The Life Actually Company What I Really Wore Frame Le Sylvie jeans

WHAT: Polo Ralph Lauren sweater, Frame jeans, Coconuts by Matisse shoes

WHERE: Worked from home.

WHY: I ended up working from home all day on Wednesday. But these shoes had just arrived and I had to try them on. So, I wore them for the shot and said that's what I would be wearing if I actually left the house!

THURSDAY

Laura Behnke The Life Actually Company What I Really Wore BCBG Gianna leather jacket

WHAT: BCBG leather jacket (old), Agolde jeans, Polo Ralph Lauren Sweater, STAUD bag, Ann Taylor scarf (sold out), Quay sunglasses, H&M loafers (sold out)

WHERE: I had errands to run and an appointment in the afternoon in Manhattan.

WHY: I absolutely fell in love with this leather jacket the first time I saw it last fall at BCBG but I did not want to spend the money. But in the spring it went on major sale and I scooped it up. The only problem was I had to wait for fall to actually wear it again, but here it is! Let this be a lesson. If you love something and are willing to wait to wear it, late end of season sales can be an amazing option for great deals.

FRIDAY

Laura Behnke The Life Actually Company What I Really Wore

WHAT: BCBG coat (old), H&M sweater, STAUD bag, Ann Taylor scarf (sold out), Coconuts by Matisse shoes

WHERE: Worked from home during the day and went out with Marc to happy hour and dinner.

WHY: I wore the sweater and jeans as I worked from home and then when it was time to finally call it a week I threw on my new shoes and my very old coat and Marc and I went out for happy hour and dinner.

SATURDAY

Laura Behnke The Life Actually Company What I Really Wore & Other Stories sweater

WHAT: & Other Stories sweater (old), Uniqlo turtleneck, Banana Republic jeans (old), Adidas shoes, Quay sunglasses

WHERE: Hanging around the house and taking the dog for a long walk.

WHY: It was one of those epic fall days with the perfect coolish temperatures that you needed a cozy sweater but not a jacket.

SUNDAY

Laura Behnke The Life Actually Company What I Really Wore

WHAT: Theory trench (old), J. Crew t-shirt, J. Crew jeans, Chinese Laundry shoes (old), Monrob Italy bag (old), Nine West hat (old)

WHERE: Running errands on a rainy day.

WHY: As beautiful as the weekend began it was equally as ugly on the way out. Despite the pouring rain Marc and I ran around doing errands all afternoon.
