Sweater Weather has arrived! This week we have hit the 20s, and it’s been so cold! Cozy warm sweaters have been all I’ve wanted to wear all week. I pulled out all my favorite sweaters from last year, and it’s like seeing an old friend. Chunky, cable knit and turtleneck sweaters are still a style trend favorite this year. One thing I like is that many stores carry sweaters that are reasonably priced and most of my favorite best sweater trends that I tagged are under $50. Besides the sweater dresses and long-waisted sweaters, a new trend this year are sweaters that hit at the waist. I always wear a fit t-shirt under those sweaters and that seems to do the trick. Another best sweater trend is fleece and bouclé sweaters, which are great from workout to street wear–a stylish way to stay warm while working out.

Fall Fashion Trend: Leopard

Posting a fall fashion trend on leopard feels like a post on continual repeat after repeat. If you haven’t been paying attention, leopard isn’t going away. Some say it’s the new neutral because you can wear it with other neutrals and it complements well with a color. What I am loving is all the clothes, accessories and shoes you can get in leopard, which makes it a huge fall fashion trend.

Last season I shared “how to wear leopard print“, so make sure you read up on the do’s and don’ts of wearing leopard. Sometimes a little bit of leopard is all you need, like wearing a leopard clutch with a pair of jeans or a black dress. It adds the perfect neutral pop.

This cotton leopard top has that vintage style and it so comfortable. I styled it for a casual business day with a pair of high-waisted jeans, large gold hoops, Melie Bianco purse and my favorite Cecelia New York sandals.

How to Wear Leopard Print

How to Wear Leopard Print

Leopard Print is now considered a fall neutral, when it is done right!  So how do you wear leopard print?  Keeping the frisky print classy is the key and also wearing it with other neutrals like white or black.  The bold animal print is the perfect pattern-mixer, but still keep it simple by not going head to toe in leopard print.  The easiest way to feel feminine in leopard print is by wearing it in simple form like a button-up cardigan, pencil skirt, or booties.  Pair it with denim or a chambray button-up shirt or a black sweater. You can start simple by adding it in your accessories like with a simple fold-over clutch or mules.  It will add a pop to your outfit!  Or go bold and rock a faux fur Leopard print coat and let the animal print take centerstage.

Fall Staple Pieces + $750 Nordstrom Giveaway

Fall Staple Pieces + $750 Nordstrom Giveaway

Good morning and Happy Friday!  I wanted to share some of my fall staple pieces and am excited to offer a $750 Nordstrom gift card Giveaway to one luck winner to help add some amazing fall staple pieces to your own wardrobe!  As a stay-at-home working mom, I am not ashamed to say that I tend to wear the same thing everyday.  If I could, I’d probably wear my workout clothes all the long day with my Adidas shoes.  But I think taking a shower is quite important!  So why not look somewhat presentable after the fact?  During the summer my go-to is usually t-shirts, skirts and flip flops.  My fall staple pieces are usually casual clothes of jeans, sweaters and loafers or booties and a jacket.  I don’t have a ton of time shuffling through my closet in the morning so I tend to go back to classic pieces that are comfortable and non-conforming.  Do you do the same thing?  Go back to the basics…it’s always the best option, right?  With a change of season, you need a few new items to mix your basics up.  Here are my top pick of Fall Staple Pieces.  Don’t forget to sign up for my $750 Nordstrom Giveaway at the end of the post!

  1. Chunky Sweaters–the oversized sweaters are still going strong this season and is a perfect fall staple piece to have in your closet.  I recommend wearing on your lower half skinny pants or leggings.

2. Leopard Print–Animal print that is basically becoming a fall neutral color!  Leopard print is a fun stylish statement print to add to a basic outfit.  I’d say invest in either leopard print shoes or a leopard print skirt for this year’s fall staple piece.

3. Plaid–The best time of year to wear non-stop plaid is the fall season!  Plaid is huge this season with pencil skirts and wide-leg pants.  There are some many colors and plaid print combinations, you could really have fun styling an outfit with plaid.

4. Prairie style–long dresses or tops with simple prints and ruffly sleeves with high necks, the Prairie style is strong this season and I’d say to add one prairie style top or dress to your fall staple pieces.

5. Blazers and Army Jacket–I’d say every Fall season will bring back the classic look of a good blazer silhouette and military jacket.  You can see some of my top blazer picks here and below is my favorite military jacket that keeps giving year after year.

6. Camo–Camo is back!  This army print always seems to sneak back in around the Fall season.  Love the look of camo with leggings and jackets of course!
