Fall Is Perfect For Tights & Boots

In the summer I wear a lot of long skirts and open shoes. As the weather starts to cool off I look forward to breaking out the tights and boots again. To keep my legs looking long and lean, this means pairing the bulkier leggings and boots with slimmer, shorter skirts. I am allergic to wool and animal hair, but with leggings on I can indulge in the rich patterns of wool felts and tweeds. This time of year I really lean toward rust tones, deep reds and golds. The more I see it in the trees outside, the more I find myself reaching for it at home! For some reason it’s also the only time of year that plaids seem appealing to me. I am so happy that plaids and checks are in fashion right now.

Fall Hair Tips For Women

In the fall, I usually try to wear my short hair style the way it was intended to be worn, short and curly in the back and longer on the front/sides. I take the longer pieces and straighten them, since my hair is naturally curly. I then have the appearance of spending a lot of time on my hair. This is my favorite hairstyle for the fall because in the summer, I will sweat and the sides and front won’t stay straight as it was intended to. Having a style that hugs your face is much easier and more practical to pull off in cooler months.

Black Sleeveless St. John’s Dress

I have a St. John’s dress that is black with a cream colored collar and. It’s sleeveless and falls about 2” above the knee. When I wear this dress a lot of people say it looks great on me! I got it about two years ago at a thrift store! It was less than $100.00!!! I couldn’t believe my eyes and I was so excited to see that it was St. Johns. Since it has darker tones, I wear it in the fall with a high-waist belt and black heels! Some times I mix it up and wear it with flats. Whatever way I’m wearing it I feel like a million dollars! I wear it to dinner parties, banquets, out with my friends, and etc. It is my favorite fall dress, and probably always will be!

Secondhand Store Girls Jeans

Who would have thought that my favorite pair of jeans would have been one that I bought secondhand while I was searching for Halloween costume supplies a couple of years ago? Well, they say that truth is stranger than fiction. My beloved jeans are dark wash denim, but not as dark as the jeans that can be mistaken for black. They are made of a material with just enough stretch that they never seem boxy or baggy, but not so much that they cling to my body like a sausage casing. Whenever I wear my “magic” jeans, I can’t help but throw a little swagger in my step.

My Halloween Sweatshirt

Halloween is my favorite holiday, and that makes my appliqued sweatshirt with the spooky trick-or-treaters my favorite fall garment. I bought it at a discount store, and I don’t remember which one. It is black, and I always wash it with care because I wear it every year. I am the owner of an idle and obsolete dairy barn where hayrides and fall parties are held, so I have ample opportunity to wear this garment. Each and every occasion is a joy. The sweatshirt features a wizard, a pumpkin bear, and a skeleton, along with various seasonal motifs incorporated into the design.

Red Orvis Embroidered Vest

Autumn’s here and it’s time to bring out the fall specialty clothing. My favorite garment for this time of year is an embroidered vest I bought from the Orvis website. It’s a rich shade of red with an embroidered design of leaves and fruit that has an Old World look, almost like tapestry. I always get a lot of compliments when I wear the vest to parties and dinners. The great thing about it is that I can throw it on over basic pieces and get a variety of looks. It can dress up jeans for an informal night out. With a white blouse and a long skirt it goes to the concert hall or a dinner dance. Being the thrifty type, I really like to purchase investment pieces that will go with a lot of different things and won’t go out of style from one year to the next.

Love My Ugg Boots

Fall is the perfect time in the year to start wearing the most popular pair of boots around, Ugg Boots! Although these boots sometimes receive negative feedback from males stating how “ugg-ly” they are, they are quite the opposite for women who have tried wearing them. Ugg boots are by far the most comfortable pair of boots that are out there. While wearing these boots, you feel like you are walking in fur heaven. These boots come in various sizes as well as various colors ranging from pink & purple to black. You can get varying heights of the boots as to where they fall on your leg. There are so many options to choose from you’ll never be able to get enough!

Dark Brown and Tan Patterned Dress

My favorite fall dress is a dark brown and tan patterned dress with slight bubble sleeves that hit right at my elbow. I wear a light colored cardigan and tall chocolate brown boots with it. It has a low (but work-appropriate) neckline and falls just above the knee, and somehow manages to look slim without huggin my body at all. It is incredibly comfortable while still looking stylish and just sexy enough. I always get compliments and appraising looks, and I feel very confident in the ensemble. I purchased this on clearance from Ann Taylor Loft a couple years ago, and I’ve probably worn it enough to give it the lowest “cost per wear” of any item I own. I primarily wear it to work, but I tend to save it for days when I have after work plans.

Girls American Eagle Hipster Jeans

Every women knows, that you can never have too many clothes. But most importantly you can never have too many pairs of great jeans. When your jeans fit you correctly it can change your whole look. Ultimately the best jeans to wear regardless of if its summer, fall or winter, would certainly have to be my American Eagle Hipster jeans. These are a classic fitting jean that loves your body. Everyone consistently compliments them for their nice shade, style and detailing. They can be dressed up or dressed down. No matter what these jeans will look amazing and flatter anyones body type. They are built to last for a life time with out the high price.

Messy Braids in the Fall

My personal favorite way to wear my hair for falls are messy braids. It doesn’t matter what hair color or style you have, you can’t go wrong with braids. There’s not really much effort to put in, no need to blow dry, or straighten. And because they’re messy braids, you don’t have to be a pro. It doesn’t take much time or material, just a brush to tame hair and hair elastics to hold braids together. I usually do two braids, one on each side. I also have side bangs, and my hair is angled on the sides to frame my face. I keep these out of the braids. This makes it look more adult like and not childish, like most people relate braids to. In this hair style, you feel relaxed, but also stylish. You could also top this look off with a cute cowgirl hat, which adds to the fall style.
