What’s up guys!
It is so rainy and gloomy here today and I’m only okay with it for one reason: it means fall is practically here! And with fall comes some of my favorite clothing to wear. Of course I’ll miss the summertime… I am just so excited for statement jackets, boots and booties, chunky sweaters, etc… cozy clothes! This is the first time in over 4 years that I’ll truly be able to embrace fall and winter. Spending my college years in Orange County pretty much meant never-ending sun!
As I was researching fall 2017 trends, I compiled a list of what caught my eye and used it as a shopping guide. I’m looking forward to sharing some fun fall styles with you in some blog posts over the next few weeks!
This look features a trend I’ve seen everywhere from the high-fashion runways down to affordable stores like Forever 21 or H&M. And it is… you guessed it… anything MIDI length, like this funky velvet dress.
The Midi trend, (midi meaning it hits that mid-calf spot between your knees and ankles), is amazing for this weird phase between summer and fall. Adding booties and some sort of jacket to a midi dress or skirt makes the look doable in cooler weather! Found this Topshop jean jacket at Nordstrom and it is seriously the most ideal shade of denim. I can already tell I’ll be wearing it nonstop!
Also have to add I’m super into the ruffle detail on the top of this dress… it just adds a little something extra.
As usual, I have to mention the shoes. These Dolce Vita booties just make me so happy… I sorta feel like Cinderella when I put them on cause of the perfect fit. They are a satin material so definitely need to be sprayed in order to prevent stains, but this is the ideal neutral shade. Also – surprisingly comfortable given the 4″ heel.
