Fall Fashions

Waking up to that chill in the morning is certainly a change from the hot and humidity of the summer and many of us find that the Fall is one of the most creative times of the year when it comes to fashion, and a lot of us prefer it.  Layering & coziness, rich colours & textures and best of all boots!  My aim is to provide you with some inspiration for your next fall fashion purchase.


Below are some outfits that I threw together to give you an idea how to create some fashion flare instead of just opting for the standard jeans and a sweater.  Get creative, and get out there and start shopping!  Remember that you can mix and match and substitute items that you may not agree with or feel comfortable wearing.  The key is to have fun and remember, one of the greatest fall fashion tricks is layering!  


Military with a Twist:
Military with a Twist substitutions: 
  • Dark wash or Grey/Black skinny jeans would also work well with this outfit.  
  • You can trade the layered tunic for a graphic tee or a military inspired top.
  • The boots can be traded for a pair of pumps or booties.


Country Casual:
Country Casual substitutions:
  • The skinny jeans can be traded for a pair of gray knit leggings/stockings.
  • The gloss Violet Hunter boots can be swapped for a pair of brown riding boots.
  • You can add a series of necklaces for that layered look.


Dressed to Impress:
Dressed to Impress substitutions:
  • The gold tones can be replaced with silver to create a different look.
  • The brown belt and brown shoes can be switched with black.
  • The scarf can be replaced with a cropped cardy/bolero or a grey fitted blazer.


Feeling Feminine:
Feeling Feminine substitutions:
  • Replace the grey skirt and cardigan for a black skirt/fitted top.
  • Exchange the mauve/taupe shopper with a clutch.
  • Trade the flower studs for chandelier drops.

Layered Luxury:
Layered Luxury substitutions:
  • The cardigan can be swapped for a wrap-style cardigan.
