I have been guilty of dressing less than my best. Either from pure laziness or not being inspired it has happened. As Fall comes along layering will be key and for me going into my Pinterest and transitioning my outfits will be my number one go to. You can take a few of your Summer pieces and layer them up to make some cute finds for any occasions. You can go from hayride to a Fall brunch with just a little effort. I laugh every time I go out with my one girlfriend, I am always on Pinterest finding an outfit for the occasion and because she’s my boo I want to be too cute for our Instagram pics!
Fall Reboot
I would love to be dripping in finesse when it comes to money but sadly the way my bank account is set up, I’ll have to settle for re-shifting my outfits. What that means is shopping my own closet. I have so many pieces every season that I simply forget I even have. For that reason I plan to re-shift my closets and break out my boots. Yes boot season is upon us and I have some that I bought and was excited for that the second I bring them out nobody will say they can remember seeing me in. Pretty sad but blessed thing to be able to say.
Pinterest is Your Friend
So armed with my Pinterest, I will be reinventing a few pieces. A few things are a must have such as scarves to dress up or dress down any outfit. Scarves worn around the neck especially a cute bulky oversized infinity scarf is a Fall staple. You can really make an outfit pop with a scarf. I would say if you have a scarf you can take an outfit from blah to wow. Warm boot socks is a great thing to have because you can pop a color and have that boot sock appear above your low-cut boot or even just have to help with layering.
Remember Fall is all cute and games until the temperature dips and its cold. So grab a few. You can go to places such as Five Below, a department store, or even my favorite spot, Target for some awesome finds. Remember your wardrobe doesn’t have to be expensive to look expensive.
Fall Staple Pieces
Invest in a few statement pieces and cute sweaters. This will be a game changer. Fall is all about sweaters or cute hoodies. A few weeks ago it rained so hard that I had to go and get my Penn State hoodie that I bought in the Summer. I wasn’t mad. Paired it with a cute rain boot and some well fitted jeans and cute headband and left the house warm and cute without a lot of effort. I also would suggest 2nd hand stores. These are your Thrift stores. When I was a kid I used to hate it.
Thrift Stores
My parents were so into Thrift stores they had frequent shopper cards. I never understood how the clothes were cheap but we needed a frequent shopper card. I would always find cute pieces but I was so embarrassed. Now I get it. Shout out to them for showing me the way. I know for a fact that a lot of fashions that are out now have been recycled and what better place to look cute and save money than a Thrift shop? I’ll wait….
Extra Effort
Take the time to put a little extra push in your wardrobe. You do not want to be out this Fall looking less than your best. I always would get frustrated asking myself in old pictures how I could have come out of the house and although I am no fashion expert I know a few tricks of the trade by looking up the look I am going for and if you too want to look your best, I would suggest you do the same!
