Textural Raw-Edge Tee, $31.95, Gap
I can justify anything and have found plenty of ways to do so at Gap this fall. I could wear the above tee with everything and I definitely hope to bust it out with a black flared mini and ankle boots at Toronto Fashion Week. The clutch below isn't just a clutch, but a very practical cross-body which totally makes sense for my day-to-day. The varsity jacket? Okay, fine, it's basically the tee with long sleeves, isn't it? Hmm... And yet, it's the perfect fall layer since while I feel a little too old to wear a proper varsity jacket, this collegiate nod seems just right. Polka-dot jeans on their own? Totally don't need. Polka-dot pre-distressed jeans? Need. The amazing coated merlot skinnies look like leather but are so much friendlier on the wallet. And at $89.95, I don't really even have to justify the back zip moto boots, do I? While these ramblings are pretty convincing, the current sale online at Gap is enough to make it all officially okay: 35% off any purchase of $140 or more. Shoot, don't you just love/hate it when they do that?
