Fall Fashion Trends 2016

Fall is my favorite. Not only is it perfect cozy temperature
but you get all the fun things that come along with fall, like wineries,
beautiful leafs, gatherings around a fire, pumpkins, Halloween, comfort food, and of course fall
fashion. Fall fashion is fabulous because I get to wear leggings, chunky knit
sweaters, blanket scarfs,  and boots
without anyone thinking I look frumpy!

What I look out for at the thrift store for fall looks:

  • Sweaters
    • These
      are bountiful in all colors, thickness, patterns – plaid is
      my favorite. The brown/black sweaterish jacket I have on in the photos is super unique and a great brand for $8. 
    • Not
      only wear alone but also think about layering options (turtlenecks and blazers is
      a stunning work look)
    • Hartley’s adorable Gap sweater was also a thrift find at $3 and it matches everything!
  • Boots
    • Over the knee, lace-up/military, and ankle bootsare this years fashion craze, and good luck for you they are available at steep discounts if you are willing to hunt. I know not everyone is keen on the used shoe idea, but I will say at least with boots you can wear socks 🙂
    • Recently I found grey wedge ankle Franco Sarto boots for $9! They are super comfy and look great under bootcut jeans or with the leggingsand sweater dress I paired it with below.
  • Printed pants
    • I
      get so bored of my dress pants and jeans so finding fall prints like the
      leopard ones I’m wearing below to incorporate into my day or night selection makes
      me so happy! These leopard Anne Taylor Loft pants were only $7!
  • Jackets
    • If you step into a thrift store right now you will be OVERWHELMED with all the options you have.
    • Fur, leather, velvet and suede are HUGE trends right now, so rock it by finding an affordable option.
  • Special Occasion Dresses
    • Start looking for holiday looks now or get a special dress for any fall weddings you may have. This little black dress I have on above was $11…and yes, I questioned the price as my normal maximum at the thrift store is $10, but it is a fantastic wardrobe staple that will be perfect for any occasion. I wore this to an October wedding and paired it with a faux fur coat, which are about $15 from the thrift store. *remember your store clearance days and for higher priced items like designer labeled dresses or jackets, you can get for an even bigger steal*

Getting this evening to spend with Willie, Hartley and some fabulous friends along the waterfront was wonderful. A great pick-me-up to all the fall gatherings, demanding work schedules, and election frenzy. I hope you ROCK your fall looks, because sadly our season is flying by!
