OOTD: femmeswear and come meet me chicago!

Hey Chicago! Come meet me and shop with me this Saturday, September 6th from 12pm to 4pm at a Private Shop Event at a brand new Nordstrom Rack! 25 Mr. Kate readers will get exclusive access to shop the opening of a new Nordstrom Rack location (that means you get your hands on the goodies first) while sipping on champagne and munching on hors d'oeuvres. Also, one lucky reader will win a private styling session with me! There are only 25 spots so go to this link and register now! Can't wait to meet you! So, about this outfit I'm wearing...with Labor Day officially come and gone, the transition into Fall is like... now. My genius shopping this past weekend at Nordstrom Rack found me in this outfit, which I think perfectly melds the menswear trend with some Parisian romance. I love the retro pattern of these comfy J Brand tuxedo trousers made more dressy by the satin stripes down the side and a black blazer. This Matty M blazer, by the way, is perfectly slouchy with lined sleeves that make the obligatory September-heat-transitional-sleeve-roll stylishly intentional. The fact that everything was 50% to 70% off along with an additional 25% off for their Clear The Rack Super Sale (another one coming up October 2 - 5) makes me feel classy and smart! Gold and sparkles in my purse and accessories make this an ensemble I could wear, any time, anywhere. What do you think? I must say, I could put a blazer over pajamas and feel ready for a board meeting. Share your transition-to-Fall OOTDs with me on Instagram @mrkatedotcom and use #NordstromRack and @NordstromRack! Xx

Chicago peeps! Remember to register to come to the Private Shop event this Saturday, September 6th.

Thanks Nordstrom Rack for sponsoring this post.
