Oh beloved fall; you are most definitely my favorite. It’s not just the pumpkin everything, everywhere or the changing leaves or the cool breezes or the smell of fire in long awaited fireplaces. Nay, it’s also the boots, scarves, jackets, hats, jeans… the list goes on. In fact, with each change in season brings another…
I have become ridiculously obsessed with deer heads. Perhaps its my Michigan roots, or perhaps I just got bit by the deer head trend. Either way, I’m too far gone.
Over the course of a few weeks, I started seeing pictures like these on the web that had me drooling…
A few weeks ago, I touched on some top trends for fall 2014 including western, plaid and sweaters. Another trend for fall {and winter} that I am loving is pastels.
Pastels add a little bit of pretty into an otherwise drab season. I love the natural femininity that shines through when an ordinary coat is offered in a pink or a soft blue hue – and paired with some dark jeans and brown boots… forget about it. You’ll stand out in the best of ways.
It could be because it’s been so cold out lately, or maybe it’s because I’m almost 4 months pregnant, but the only thing I want to wear these days are sweatpants…
Unfortunately I own mostly jeans, and due to the expanding belly, I have to wear them with a bellaband, unbuttoned and (lately) unzipped. It’s not the most comfortable thing to wear; especially when you spend a lot of time sitting in front of the computer. My poor baby is probably begging for some less restricted space.
I love, love, love sweater dresses in the fall and winter. They are so easy to throw on, look great with boots and tights, and are comfy enough to make me feel like I’m wearing a blanket (what could be better for a mom?).
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about my love for affordable, trendy leatherette jackets. Then a few days after that, I picked up this black leatherette jacket at Target on sale for $35 – I’m pretty sure it was meant to be, since I found only one medium shoved in the very back of the rack:
This fall I’m head over heels for tribal and Native American inspired looks. The trend is more effortless than ever, showing up in subtle ways. Take, for example, this open cardigan from American Eagle:
I love a good, cheap leatherette (faux leather) jacket. They last you a season or two, and they’re usually under $50. One day I’ll splurge on an awesome $250 leather jacket that I can wear for years, but for now, my budget loves leatherette.
Remember when ankle boots became popular a few years ago? Well, they’re still a fashion “do,” but they’ve gotten quite a makeover this season. This fall and winter you’re going to find ankle boots in more styles than ever. Here’s a couple of types to try:
So I did it. I totally bought the faux leather leggings I was eyeing at H&M (actually they’re a bit different than the ones I first picked out, but also half the price). Are they practical? For a mom of a toddler who works from home, maybe not so much… but who cares when they only cost $12.95?
