Sweater Weather

Fall has officially set in and it almost feels like it could snow soon! This is something I am coming to terms with but don't know how I will feel the first time I actually see snow on the ground this year. With the temperatures dropping that means the layers are adding on.Today's casual look is very bohemian inspired. 

Luxe Boho

Throwing beautiful jewels over any bohemian look instant glams you up a bit and makes it feel slightly less hippie. I love combining modern trends like statement necklaces and mixing them with old ones that will never go out of style like floral and paisley prints. I am a huge fan of the 60's inspired trends that are going strong today like jumpsuits, bellbottoms, and lots of accessories. I channeled this look today by styling this awesome Free People velvet romper for the first time. I love the open back detail of this piece and it's very easy to dress up or make a casual day outfit from.

Monochromatic Monday

Grey is a very popular neutral this season. I decided to go with a grey monochromatic look today. Playing with different tones of the same color can actually create a really interesting look. Something I used to never want to do, besides all black everything that's always been acceptable, but is a trend I am glad I tried because I was happier with the outcome than expected!

Men's Wear Inspired

Taking lessons from the boys I decided to do a play on men's wear for women today. A good button up is the heart of a good men's wear inspired look. I paired that with a sweater over top and a classic skirt, boot combo. I really wish I could've done a trouser and oxford look but I have a hard time finding dress pants that actually fit me. If you're petite where do you find the best dress pants?

Have fun with your wardrobe and don't be afraid to try things that are different! I dare you to go out of your comfort zone once this week and try something new with your styles or makeup!!

Texture Play

Another one of falls greatest trends is playing with textures. From seeing velvet make a big return to fur vest being a big ticket item, and leather of course thrown in there too. I love this trend because it can make an outfit come to life by adding the extra pop that isn't necessarily a statement necklace or florescent color.

One of my many plays on this trend is mixing smooth leather booties with textured over the knee socks and a chiffon dress. I loved this look and had so much fun styling it because at first I had difficulty matching these Frye boots with anything! But now I am much more confident with how they can be a neutral to an outfit and go exceptionally well with olive tones, grays, and beiges. Have a wonderful week and don't forget to explore some fall trends!

Daily Adventures

Haven't done one of these posts in a hot minute but have still been doing my fair share of daily adventuring. From cruising to Bermuda a few weeks ago, traveling back and forth from State College and Philly, and NYC really quick for Basscenter VIII there have been many photos I have captured and haven't been able to share so I want to show some of those moments today.

I also had the pleasure of going on a hike with my pup, Bruiser, on one of my days off this week. It's days like today when I forget about the city part of Philadelphia and get lost in the beauty of nature. It is so easy to get caught up in our busy lives of class, work, and other commitments that we often forget to take time to get grounded with life and what really matters. Here's my perfect fall go on a hike day outfit, flannel of course.
