Thinking About Fall

 Labor Day has come and gone. Some places the weather is even cooling off. We used to say sweater weather is coming. I've been seeing lots of great looks for fall, but waited to share them until it seemed more weather appropriate.

Since I posted about the popularity of elastic waist pants that aren't sweats, I find them everywhere.Someone even coined the term "treggings" or trouser leggings. LOL.They are pull-on or side zip pants in nicer ( yet still soft) fabrics with a little more polish for work or going out.

 Here's some fun pieces to consider to start updating your wardrobe for fall, especially if you are going out more.

BB Dakota's  Denim Bomber jacket is a new rift on your traditional jean jacket, always a fall favorite. Quilted jackets are a big look.


Believe it or not, clogs are back. From the Swedish wooden styles we embraced years ago to designer versions, Chanel, Bottega Veneta , Chloe and Tory Burch have put them out this season. Most the models in the Spring 2021 Hermes show wore them on the runway. They work well with your cute jogging sets or jumpsuits and of course, jeans.

A lug sole chelsea boot should be a fall staple. You'll see lug soles everywhere- from high heeled bootie versions to knee high styles. They give you stability and some protection from uneven and slick pavement. Pair them with jeans, leggings, midi skirts and minis with tights.

Sweater vests are back this fall. They are versatile and an easy transitional piece. They may add warmth in chilly seasons but also can add texture, color and pattern to your outfit. Try one over a classic white blouse,  turtleneck or even a t-shirt or dress  to mix it up.




                     
Sweater dresses, or knits for Florida girls, will be big - part of the cozy, comfy influences of staying home. Try one in one of the new neutrals- bone, beige, tan, gray or in the new trend of "saturated" colors to celebrate getting out again- vaccinated, of course.






Speaking of saturated color- think jewel tones or brights paired with neutrals or denim to lift your spirits-hinting at optimism for the future



Smaller shoulder or crossbody bags are trending.You should be able to carry your essentials without breaking your back or straining your shoulders. The baguette is back and most designers are offering up smaller versions of their signature bags. Another fun new look is quilted or puffy styles.
