staying nice and toasty this fall - in style!

Tis the season! Scarf and jacket season, that is! Here are a few staples that you need this fall!

Two important jackets

First off, find yourself a wind breaker! A nice fall/spring jacket that is of a dark color! (so it can still apply during the fall!) I always recommend to go for longer in case you wear a lot of cardigans! You want to avoid tucking incesently with a short jacket. This one is my favorite! I bough it at Lululemon last spring! It is a forgiving shape as it is tighter at the waist and flares out at the bottom!


Here you can see that I am just wearing the jacket with my crossbody gym bag! It was a lazy day outfit but having that jacket kept it cute and stylish.

When fall rolled around, I was wondering if I could dress it up. I quickly realized that adding a scarf and a cute purse makes it appear more chic! It almost looks like it was made to be a fancy jacket! It's all in the accessories! Truly! (What a difference, right?)


Another good piece to have this autumn is a leather jacket. Doesn't have to cost you a fortune, almost every store has one! This jacket is for day where you are wearing a dressy outfit! It adds a little edge that you wouldn't expect! It is also a good pairing with heels or a cute dress!

Then I wondered, could this work for a lazy day? Sure enough, it can! If you are wearing jeans and a hoodie, it looks perfect with the leather jacket. Mind you, it would look a bit silly if you were wearing sweatpants, but it still adds some spunk to a casual day!



SCARVES!!!

With a collection of 15 scarves, I think it is safe to say I have a variety. But here, I pulled the necessary scarves for the fall season. First off, you need a print scarf! It is always best to get something that is wide so it gives a cozy look! It keeps you warm, and people envy how comfortable you appear to be! Going for the typical fall reds, dark blues and browns is a must, but don't be afraid to get some bright colors! Purples are super cute and it adds a pop of color!


It is also necessary to start collection tube scarves! They are the best thing to have, especially the knitted ones! Those come in handy when winter rolls around because they are so warm! The two on the far right are from Lululemon so those can be warn year-round because it is still rather lite! I recommend to go for the tube scarves that you can loop around your neck. But, if you find the perfect color and you cant loop it, here is a trick...


Simply fold a the opposite sides over each other. That way you can tuck that piece in your jacket and it appears to be chunkier and, by default, much more cozy! Check out the second picture of the blog for the final result!



These are a few tips for this season. My best advice is done be afraid to try new colors in your scarves! It will brighten up your day and maybe some one elses! Do it your way!
