Friday Mash-Up

I’m trying out a different type of post today where I’m sharing a few recent outfits that didn’t make it to the blog, along with some of my favorite trends for fall and affordable options to shop!  It’s a somewhat random mix of things, but I figured it was a good way to highlight lots of different content all in one post.

DATE NIGHT

A simple & easy combination that’s perfect for date night or girls night out.  Pair a pretty blouse with statement earrings; swipe on a bold lipstick & you’re set!  I wore this with gray denim but you could also try regular skinny jeans, faux leather pants or an a-line skirt & heels.

BLOUSE + EARRING PAIRINGS

ONE:  Red Blouse + Black Druzy Earrings
TWO:  Navy Blouse + Gunmetal Earrings
THREE:  Black Blouse + Gold Earrings
FOUR:  Blush Blouse + Crystal Earrings
FIVE:  Gray Blouse + Rose Gold Earrings
SIX:  Rust Blouse + Stone Earrings

BOYFRIEND CARDIGAN

The cardigans that I tend to favor are slightly oversized and have an open-front – I find these to be a versatile wardrobe staple because you can dress them up or down.  I’d also wear this with a plaid button-down, boyfriend jeans & ankle booties or over a striped tee with leggings & over-the-knee boots.  Other styles under $50 to try: this chenille cardigan, this waffle knit cardigan, this burgundy cardigan or this intarsia cardigan.

PEARL EMBELLISHED

Pearls are making a huge comeback right now & I’m a big fan of this trend.  Try it in small doses with some modern jewelry & studded shoes or go for a statement look with an embellished top.  Either way, this is an easy way to add a sophisticated touch to your everyday style.

SHERPA-LINED

Nothing says cozy quite like a fluffy sherpa-lined layer – this type of piece is great for wearing around the house on those chilly days or throwing on instead of a coat for running errands around town. I plan on taking this one with us on our next camping trip!  Other styles I’m loving right now are this plaid cardigan, this moto jacket & this vest.

QUILTED VEST

This is another one of my closet essentials – and it’s great for those of you who live somewhere that has a milder fall & winter (when you don’t need a bulky coat).  Layer over a long sleeve top, chambray shirt or tissue turtleneck & you’ve instantly created a classic casual look that’s weekend-ready.
