Trend Watch Wednesday: {Fall Essentials}

This came from Pinterest, but I have no clue who designed this shoe or where it can be purchased : (

Greetings, girlies. Looks like we’ve officially made it to mid-week…hooray and hoorah! With fall just right around the corner, I thought it was high time to start putting together my own wishlist of clothes and accessories for the upcoming season. This fall, more than any season previously, the style abounds. Leopard and snakeskin, tulle and lace, leather and denim…oh my stars, it’s almost too much goodness to handle!

In case you’re working on putting together your own fall “must-have” list, here are a few essentials I think we ought to all have on hand this season:

Scalloped Skirts

Scalloped edges are ever-so-femme, making them perfect for a girly fall look. This beauty (seen above) from ASOS is the epitome of prettiness!

Button-Up Tunics in Silk

Ashley Hebert rocked the heck out of these on this season’s Bachelorette and now it’s our chance! Invest in a few tunics in various shades of earth-tones and navy (like these by Rory Beca above) and pair them with skinny jeans for an effortlessly cool fall look.

Silk Dresses

Are you noticing a trend here with the silk, yet? I’ve tweeted about this dress before (probably because I bought it and LOVE it so much!), but seriously, you’ve got to see the beauty firsthand, y’all. It’s perfect for a dressy autumn event, like oh, a wedding perhaps? ; ) Maybe say, if you were attending one on Northwest Arkansas on September 17th?? Ok, I’ll stop now.

Leopard, However You Please

Faux Fur Jacket by Tulle

Blue Moon Shorts in Leopard Silk

Leopard shorts and jackets will be prime candidates for ‘most-purchased’ items this season, as it appears this once daring animal print is becoming a popular neutral! Pair it with denim, leather, suede or silk…where it on a purse, as a top, even as a short…just wear it.

Nude

AIKO Maud Top in Nude

Steve Madden "Bevv" Heel in Blush

Nope, I don’t mean going nakey, but rather sporting shades of blush, taupe and beige. These heels and this top are perfection. Be sure to keep your make-up glossy and simple, in keeping with the subtle shades of the nude rainbow.

Structured Blazers in Twill

Twill Blazer with Shawl Collar in Olive,  by K-Dash for Kardashian

Every girl needs a great fitting blazer in her closet; consider it an investment piece and pay a few extra dollars to ensure the integrity of yours is outstanding. The most flattering lengths are those that fall right atop the hip bones. These puppies will make you look ten pounds skinnier and 5 inches taller…for serious.

Winter Wedges

Wedges are synonymous with summer and sundresses, but this winter, designers like Jeffrey Campbell and Sam Edelman are doing the “winter” wedge. This close-toed stunner is exactly what any girl needs to add spice and sex appeal to a hum-drum fall wardrobe.


What are your essentials for this fall? Are you a leopard lover or a silk supporter? Maybe you can’t wait to get your hands on the perfect twill blazer? Do tell!

Be blessed, lovelies-
