Trend Alert-Houndstooth

Houndstooth is going to be big this fall and winter season.  I just sold a small houndstooth bag and think I should have kept it!  You’ll want to add a vibrant, trendy color to the houndstooth to give it a modern edge.  Cobalt blue, oxblood and fuchsia will be big colors this season.  Here are some fun houndstooth items you might consider picking up now.

What I’m Wearing

I got a lot of compliments on this outift, so I decided to share it with my lovely readers!  I hope it inspires you in some way, today!

I love feminine touches, like ruffles and lace. I wanted to add some fun color to this outfit, so I layered with the turquoise cardigan.

This is my new favorite clutch! I love the cutout design and neutral color-with just the right amount of shine! I got this clutch on Poshmark but you can buy similar here or here.

These are my new favorite shoes! They have 4 inch heels, which I’ve never been able to wear before. These are so comfortable that I can stand on them for long periods of time! I also LOVE the fun cutout design. You can buy them here.

The cardigan came from the Banana Republic outlet-buy similar here.  The ruffle blouse is from CAbi-buy similar here.  The pants are also from CAbi-buy similar here.  The jewelry is from Brighton.

 

Trend Alert-Hologram

A new futuristic trend popping up in stores is the hologram look.  The thing I like about the hologram trend is that there are multiple colors, giving you many options with your existing wardrobe.  I haven’t bought anything hologram, yet.  I’m going to stand back and see where this goes, first.  If you’re excited about this new trend, there are many inexpensive options for you!  Be confident in the fact that you are fabulous!  Let me know which of these is your favorite!

Transitioning to Fall

I’m already seeing a lot of articles on how to transition to your fall wardrobe.  I feel like I was in spring, I blinked and now it’s almost fall!  How did that happen!  I’m not ready-how about you?

Fall is coming whether I’m ready or not, so let’s talk about some great ways to transition pieces from your spring/summer wardrobe to fall.  There’s no need to run out and buy fall pieces when you can make use of items you probably already have in your wardrobe!

Love this sophisticated, sleeveless trench from Asos-$34!

1) The sleeveless trench is a great way to transition from spring to fall.  Wear it with short sleeves and wedges in the warmer months or long sleeves and boots in the colder months.  Low on funds?  Take an old trench coat you already own or buy an inexpensive one from the thrift store and cut off the sleeves!

Chic, camel blazer from Mango-$40

2) Want those pastel pieces you love from spring to carry over into fall?  Impossible, you say?  Never!  Just throw on something in a camel color and it instantly warms up any piece!  You could go with a cardigan, blazer, layered sweater, pants, etc.  Just imagine this gorgeous blazer over a beautiful pastel pink blouse.  Love it!

Add a faux fur vest to your floral pieces.

3) Most of you already have a fur vest since they’ve been such a huge fashion trend for the past few years.  Wear this with your floral pieces from spring to give them a fall feel.  You can also achieve the same look with a leather jacket or blazer and floral bottom or floral top with a leather skirt.

This shirt dress can transition from spring/summer to fall!

4) Picture this shirt dress worn unbuttoned over a sleeveless top with some olive skinny jeans and boots.  A perfect fall transition look!  You could also wear this dress with tights and boots for a trendy fall look.

If you live someplace like me, you have warm weather into the fall months.

5) There are a lot of warm places where sandals can still be worn into the fall.  Black, brown and navy blue sandals all give more of a fall feel.  Add a little metallic touch and the shoe seems even warmer.  Fabrics like suede and velvet all give an impression of fall.
