To know me you wouldn’t necessarily think of me as someone who LOVES color. Nor someone who would be writing a post on who to wear bright colors for fall. I’ve often said my favorite ‘colors’ are black and white. Yet here we are! Every now and again I love a pop of color – and this pink sweater is no exception.
Over the Knee Boot Season
This week has been the most beautiful fall week EVER. I honestly forgot how absolutely gorgeous fall weather can be – especially when the sun is shining. Because the weather has been so gorgeous I’ve been able to get away with wearing outfits like this one. Showing a *little* leg didn’t kill me the day these pictures were taken because everything else was covered up so I felt comfortable. As the weather cools down you can add thicker tights and a big chunky scarf to outfits like this one to make it more do-able for lower temps.
How to Style a Neutral Outfit for Fall
I’m a big fan of a neutral outfit, no matter the season. Paired with the right accessories I think white or any other neutral can be worn year round. The key to styling a neutral fall outfit is to mix textures and prints into the outfit while keeping them all the same tone. For instance, the outfit I am wearing here the items are all either white, cream, tan, or slightly darker tan/brown. A short range of colors keeps it simple. Then, by pairing different textures & prints like the chunky knit cardigan (use code lauren04 for 20% off), felt hat, and snake slides it adds some dimension to the outfit. And of course I always like to top off any outfit with some gold jewelry and sunglasses.
November | Fall Style
Hi guys! I can’t believe it’s already November 1st. How in the world did October fly by that quickly? Actually, I’m pretty sure this entire year has flown by faster than ever as well. It feels like it was just a couple of months ago that I moved all the way from San Diego to Cleveland, when in reality it’s going on 6 months. Crazy to think we’ve been here almost half a year.
With that being said – I was FINALLY unpacking some boxes the other day when I came across the snake print top I am wearing in these photos. I got this top from Urban Outfitters around the time I started my job in San Diego, and I was there for about 8.5 years so that means the shirt is old AF. This top hung in my closet for years and occasionally I would feel inspired to wear it but there were a definitely a few years that went by without me touching it. Flash forward to last week when I came across this top again and I was able to see it in a new light. I thought it would be super cute with a fall color palette, and snake (all animal print really) is super huge this season so I knew it would be easy to come up with a stylish fall outfit with this shirt.
Sweater Weather
Sweater weather is finally upon us. And if you’re in Ohio you know that means today it is but tomorrow you might need to rock a sun dress. I actually shot these photos a few weeks back but totally forgot to put together a blog post. What can I say?! Mom brain to the max these days. It may be getting a little too cool here in Ohio to still wear shorts, although we still have those sporadic hot days here and there. I know my babes in CA and other warm weather climates can still rock this look. In fact, this would be the perfect look for an evening dinner with girlfriends. When the sun goes down and its a little cooler than usual out but still not cold yet. Last year I wore something similar in San Diego towards the end of October but paired it with a leather mini, check out that look here.
