Take Fall as it Comes

I'm sorry, friends! I have failed. With my excess amount of AP homework and limited amount of time, I have let this blog down. But I'm ready to pick it back up and get going! Today's outfit, along with most outfits in the months of September, October and November, was inspired by fall. You know why? Because I live in a place that has falls like this:


That's why.

This + some clothes brought home from Barcelona by my parents = The makings of greatness.

A Windy Tuesday

I am not a huge fan of wind (ha... fan.. wind..). It messes up your hair, makes dresses uncomfortable, and turns a seemingly lovely day into a hard to manage one. So, this morning I threw on my leather jacket and headed out the door to a blustery welcome! (It may have been a lazy day, too)

Side note: I have bad luck with computers. Like, "computer-getting-struck-by-lightening" bad luck. (No, seriously.. that happened). Anyway, my desktop has now decided not to turn on, so please bare with me while I use icky online editing software.



      



What we have here is: 
Jacket: Kohls
Shirt: Nordstrom
Jeans: Kohls
Shoes: Toms, via the Kilns Bookstore
Necklace: Homemade

The Seven Sacred Secrets of Fall

Now that the summer months are leaving, where does that put us? Well.. it puts us out in the cold. But don't pull out your thick sweaters just yet! We still have a few months of fall, and we're determined to make the most of these cozy autumn days!

Here's a list of some of the trends we're looking forward to this season:

1) SCARVES! Tess and I look forward to this all year. You know how children get anxious for Christmas morning? Yeah, I just made that comparison.




2) Forget the summer sandals, girls. It's time to pull on some boots! Paired with your favorite skinny jeans or some cute tights, we love this trend!


Fringe boots found here (grey, black or brown!)



For a more "rock-star look,"we go for the combat boot! These boots were indeed made for walking, and we are very excited to wear them! With your favorite skinny jeans, pair these with a cardigan and scarf for a fashionable, edgy look! (far left found here, far right found here)



3) What we're burning.. (other than too much time shopping)

Becky's fall candle fave:


This candle is brilliant. If leaves really smelled this good, I'd be living outside. Bought it here, then bought it again, and again, and again..

Tess' fall candle fave:


Now, don't be fooled- this isn't one of those overwhelming apple cinnamon candles, or strong vanilla scents that Yankee is known for.. no. This is good. Like.. grandmother's kitchen good. This is a "retired scent" so if you want it, you have to be a professional candle hunter, like Tess.


 4) The rolled up jean. We love this skinny/straight leg jean with a rolled up cuff! Pair it with your favorite oxfords, heals, or flats!




5) Dresses and skirts! Alright, so some things you don't have to leave behind! Leg warmers and tights make skirts and dresses totally fall-approved.




6) Pumpkin Spice Latte. Only once a year, this spicy-sweet combo rocks our fall. Vanilla Lattes, and Peppermint White Mochas also made the list!




7) Jackets. From leather jackets to pea coats, staying warm never looked so cute! 



The pea coat adds a fun statement to any outfit. Pair it with jeans or a dress for any occasion. It just screams "Yeah. My coat looks like it's from England. Jealous? Thought so." (Yay, sarcasm!) 


Leather jacket = fantastic, fun and functional. Great with jeans, skirts, dresses, and, well, just about anything!

















Add a cute pair of heels and you've got yourself a rockin' outfit! And who doesn't love rockin' trench coat outfits? No one we know!

So there you have it. Our seven secrets to dressing for fall! What are your fall fashion secrets?
