Fall Fashion

A women’s plaid jacket is a timeless piece that you should definitely have in your closet. Plaid has been around for centuries, and it’s definitely not going anywhere. If you’ve ever wondered where plaid comes from, how to style it, or what the current plaid trends are, keep reading.

Slip dresses are one again popular this fall. They’ve been back in style for a few seasons, but the styling feels extra 90s this time around. Since slip dresses seem to be here to stay, I decided I should share some of my favorite ways to style my newest animal print slip dress. I’m also sharing some of my favorite picks at affordable prices.

To be honest, I wasn’t sure I liked the menswear inspired oxford trend for women. At first, I thought they were just too masculine, too clunky. The majority of the oxfords I’d seen in my Pinterest and Instagram fashion feeds were more traditional. They looked like a shoe my husband would actually wear.

I generally don’t advocate for buying inexpensive footwear because I believe shoes (and purses) should be quality investment pieces that will last you for years. But there are exceptions to my rule. The exceptions are 1) you can’t afford the quality pair you are eyeing, but you still want a cute new item for fall; 2) you want to try out a new trend, but don’t want to pay too much because you aren’t sure you’ll wear it or think the style might only be cool this season.

One of my very favorite fall 2017 fashion trends is bell sleeve tops. Last week, I shared some of my other favorite trends, in case you missed it.

Have you seen all the women’s kimonos in stores this fall? At first, I was a bit unsure of this trend. Yes, all the super fashion-forward fashion bloggers were rocking them, but could I? I was uncertain for two reasons. First, I’m not stick straight or thin. I’m a curvy girl with fuller and wider hips. I was worried a kimono would overwhelm my frame.

Have you noticed choker neck dresses are a major trend this fall? Not just dresses, but choker neck tops and sweaters are very popular too. What do you think of this fall trend?

Are you a hat person? I wasn’t much of a fashion hat person until really recently, but there are so many cute fedoras for fall that I’m crushing on right now.

I know what you’re thinking. Weekends are all about the yoga pants and sneakers. Don’t get me wrong – I’ll wear that on the weekends too. But, I try really hard to relegate those looks to when I’m actually going to the gym on the weekends. There’s nothing wrong with black leggings and sneakers, but there is a way to achieve chic weekend outfits that look more together without that much effort.

One of my current favorite trends for fall are long cardigans. They vary from just below the hips, all the way down to duster lengths. I prefer the mid-thigh length, personally. But I’m really loving all the options out there. You can definitely find the right long cardigan for your body type, because there are just a lot of choices.

Fall is one of my favorite seasons. You can finally wear jackets, but you don’t need a heavy coat or all the winter layers just yet. If I’m honest, I own way too many jackets. I just love them. More than any other piece in my wardrobe, jackets can really make an outfit. That’s why I collect them, and that’s why I’m really into my new faux suede moto jacket this fall.

I’m really into long cardigans this fall. They are so cozy and easy to wear for work or on the weekends. They look great over dresses, with jeans, or dress pants, depending on whether I need to dress up or dress down. You can never go wrong with a black cardigan, because it’s so versatile, but they can also get pretty boring.

I’ve always been a fan of sweater dresses. I personally find they are very flattering, super cozy, and great for fall or winter. When I saw this red ribbed midi dress, I knew I had to order it.

Is it just me or has leopard and other animal prints taken over fashion this fall? It’s like leopard print is everywhere. I’ve been suspect of animal prints for awhile. Last year, I talked about how animal print reminds me of Peg Bundy, and not in a nostalgic, loving way. I always thought she looked so trashy if I’m totally honest. But then I saw this leopard print sweater, and my long-held distaste for animal print started to soften.

The summer to fall transition in California is different than a lot of places. It is still relatively warm during the day, but the evenings cool off a lot. That’s why layering is so important. Since it’s starting to feel like fall in a lot of places, I thought I’d share my 5 fall wardrobe essentials to take you from summer to fall with ease. I’ve been thinking about a fall capsule wardrobe, so these are a few of the pieces I plan to include.

Have you taken advantage of the Amazon Prime Day deals yet? There are so many amazing deals. If you haven’t thought of Amazon as a place to buy clothing, you should think about it. They have so many cute options at really affordable prices. The sweater dress I’m wearing is actually old, but I linked to several other Amazon sweater dresses that are equally as cute and for super affordable prices.

I’ve never owned a winter vest. Honestly, I never thought they worked on my curvy frame. But then, I saw this adorable shearling and plaid one by Adyson Parker, and I had to try it. Given my experience, I assumed other people might want to know more about options and styling tips for winter vests for women, so here goes.

One of my favorite fall fashion staples is sweater dresses. That’s why I decided I should also try out sweater two piece sets. I wasn’t sure that sweater sets would work on me since I thought the skirts in sweater material would be too clingy. I was pleasantly surprised that they worked even better than I imagined. These matching sweater skirt sets are a new wardrobe staple for me and I think you should try them too.

Sometimes I stumble on a trend that I didn’t even realize was a trend. That’s what happened last week when I got this new red animal print dress. I chose it because I liked the simple t-shirt style shape with the tie at the waist. But once I started searching for comparable red animal print dresses, I realized they are everywhere! There are high-end ones, like this Saint Laurent, and totally affordable ones, like mine.

I recently got this adorable red and gold dress and it’s giving me all of the fall vibes. I really love the flowy sleeves and the knee-length is flattering. As I was looking through the photos from our shoot, I realized this is the perfect fall dress to wear to a wedding. I wish I had somewhere to wear it. But, if you’re trying to figure out what to wear to a fall wedding, I’ve got you covered.

Shein invited me to try out some of their new Shein X items. Most of the choices feel a lot more avant guarde than how I normally dress. But one of my fashion goals over the last few years is to try new styles that I normally wouldn’t wear. This flowy black dress is an example of a piece I normally wouldn’t wear.

I can’t lie. Since the pandemic started, I swore off jeans in favor of joggers. I hadn’t worn jeans in well over a year. Then, I slowly started to reintroduce myself to ‘normal’ life (i.e. going out to dinner with my girlfriends), and I realized my wardrobe was sorely lacking. I planned to attend my first concert in years, and I needed a new look. That’s when I finally got a new pair of jeans

I recently got this adorable romper shorts set from my friends at Saint and Sophia. I’m so in love with this cute little romper because it appears it’s a dress, but underneath there are hidden shorts! I also love the adorable star and constellation print. If you’re wondering how to wear your romper shorts this fall, here are three ideas.

It’s been a long time since I had an excuse to wear a nicer dress. To be honest, reentering the world in dressier clothes has felt a bit odd. I am so used to rocking my sweats, it’s been quite the transition. That’s why I adore this black slit sleeve dress because it’s made of cotton and completely stretchy! It’s so comfortable and so easy to wear, while still looking very put together, maybe even dressy.

I love midi dresses and midi skirts. I think they are the perfect length. They are the perfect balance of sexy and sophisticated. Since I wear them so often, I thought it was about time that I do a little tutorial on how to style a midi skirt.

I haven’t worn many sweaters sine 2019. With the pandemic, I opted for sweatshirts instead. Since I hardly left the house, I didn’t feel much of a need to dress in anything besides joggers and sweatshirts. Now that I’m spending a lot more time outside of my house, I figured it was time to update my fall wardrobe.

In Los Angeles, I don’t often need heavy coats. Even in the dead of winter, it doesn’t get all that cold here.

If you’re interested in considering long overcoats this winter, read on to see why you might just want one.

This past weekend, I was pleasantly surprised to find a very festive street decorated for Diá de los Muertos. It was the perfect backdrop to share my new favorite cotton biker jacket. Biker jackets are one of my favorite things to wear in the fall and winter. I recently got this knit moto jacket and I am seriously so excited about it. I love how flexible and comfortable it is.

For my day job as a university administrator, I used to dress in professional clothes every day. Blazers were a wardrobe staple for me. I recently purged a lot of the items in my closet. I realized I don’t have much workwear left that I actually like. Given how long its been since I wore most of the items (I’ve been working from home since 2018), I figured it was time for a refresher.

I have to admit, I’m usually a little slow to picking up the latest denim trends. Generally, I tend to sit back a while and see what’s going to stick before jumping into a new jean fit. I can distinctly remember when skinny jeans first became popular. For the longest time, I did not want to give up my bootcut jeans for skinny jeans.

If you’ve followed my blog for any period of time, you know I love dresses, especially sweater dresses. They are one of my wardrobe favorites for fall and winter.

I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with animal print. Honestly, it always makes me think of the older ladies on the Sopranos. It generally gives me – trying to be chic, but actually pretty trashy vibes. But every now and then I love to throw a new animal print piece into my wardrobe.

There are certain trends from the 80s and 90s that I dreaded coming back into fashion. One of those was bodysuits. Honestly, I’ve always struggled with bodysuits because I have a long torso. I always found them to be very uncomfortable because they would ride up so much. What I’ve found is that I actually don’t mind bodysuits if they have a flowy top or super stretchy material to accommodate my long torso. I recently found this black and white striped bodysuit and it’s perfect for this early fall weather in LA.
