Fall Wardrobe Lookbook







With the passing of Labor Day aka the unofficial end of Summer, I've been researching Fall trends to start plan my Fall wardrobe.  Oxblood (or burgundy) is a hot color for Fall, so I want to incorporate it into my wardrobe, along with neutrals, animal prints, and dark florals.  I am starting to like the color navy so I want to add a navy bag to my collection this Fall. I compiled all of my Fall wishlist items into a personal lookbook pairing items I love with pieces that are already in my closet. Items can also be found on my "Fall Wardrobe" board on Pinterest.

Fall Wish List: Sweaters & Tights


I've talked about footwear and outerwear, so now it's time to move on to the outfit.  There is nothing more classic than the sweater dress and tights combo, but the look has gotten an upgrade from when you used to wear it as a little girl ;)   Bold colors, patterns, cutouts, and accessories take a simple sweater dress from cute to smokin' hot.  Check out these styles on my wishlist:


I love the variety of patterns and colors that are now available for tights.  These styles below can instantly inject some fun into your look:


Have you ventured out and bought a pair of wild, printed tights? Let me know in the comments!

Fall Wish List: The Outerwear Edition














When the temperature outside drops and the wind picks up, outerwear becomes absolutely necessary.  That means that if you want to remain cute while keeping warm, you will need to express your fashion sense with your coat! I love a statement coat that fits well, is in a fab color, and has a standout element, be it an interesting belt or unique buttons. With color this season, I love shades of green or gray.  Both are great options if you are looking for a  neutral color and want to stray away from basic black or brown.  Here are some that I like:


I also love the look of a great motorcycle jacket.  Something about the exaggerated collars and exposed hardware screams "fierce" to me!

Fall Wish List: Ladi Like Footwear

















When the weather gets cool, my footwear of choice is a fabulous pair of boots.  They can be dressed down or dressed up, comfy yet stylish, and edgy but functional.

I need a cute pair of ankle booties.  Preferably with a wedge heel.


Next on my list is a pair of tall boots.  I have short legs so I'm not really into the over the knee or thigh high boots, but I love tall riding boots and mid-calf heels.


What footwear are you feelin' for the colder months? Let me know in the comments!
