The cooler weather is starting to hit in Portland so I thought I would share this simple sweater weather look! This look is great for transitioning from Summer to Fall too. Those white jeans you loved over the summer can easily be worn with all of the sweaters and knits for fall. The neutral color palette is always so easy to mix and match and worn through out any season.
I got these boots last season, it was a huge pain to get them in the correct size actually, but when I did I fell instantly in love with them! They’re just a great pop of color and the wooden heel makes them so unique. Plus they go with so many different looks so fall as well as jeans, dresses, skirts…pretty much anything.
Currently typing this as it’s gloomy outside and officially feeling more like fall in Portland. When I took these photos though, it was definitely not feeling like fall lol But there’s just nothing like a good fall coat to get you inspired for cooler weather! Fall style is always one I look forward to every year.
Oak + Fort sent me this coat from their current collection and it might be a fall staple for me this season. It can be styled so many different ways and I actually love wearing white and cream during fall and winter as well. No rules here! The shape is so unique and can be synched to really accentuate the waist as well. I love the looser fit but I could see it synched and worn more as a statement piece. As much as I think there are so many cute heels out there, I am all about sneakers. I wanted to show two different ways to wear this coat just by simply changing your shoes and/or bag. Outfits made easy!
As much as I’m sure we all want summer to stick around forever, it’s time to face the music…fall is just around the corner! I’m sure so many of you are excited about fall too though! One of the toughest things about summer coming to an end is trying to figure out wtf to wear. It’s starting to cool down but still a little too warm for serious layers or boots. So I thought this outfit would be a good example of a transitional look for summer to fall.
Blazers are a STAPLE. A MUST HAVE. A GO TO for fall for me! They’re so easy to find at a vintage shop or thrift store. And so many brands make beautiful ones as well that are perfectly tailored and the best kind of oversized fit (like this one I am wearing!) But blazers are such a good transitional piece for summer to fall. You can pair them with dresses, skirts, sandals, tanks…all of your summer pieces but the blazer eases you into fall.
Another alternative, especially if you commute for your work, is paring this look with sneakers like I did in the bottom images. I know these shoes are a bit of a statement, which is partially why I love them so much…Acne Studios can do no wrong!! But if these sneakers are too intimidating, a good classic pair of Adidas or Nike’s would be great with this look as well. It’s really all up to you! That’s what we all love about fashion and style right? 😉
Side note: AUrate has some reallyyy cute jewelry if you’re looking for a new jewelry brand to crush on. They sent this twisted ring and it’s just a great simple layering piece!
When I saw this top online on Sezane, I knew I had to have it because it looked so similar to the color of shoes I have from Everlane! And just like I thought, there were a perfect match. Did you wear basket bags all summer too? They’ve been a spring and summer necessity for me but I wanted to figure out how to wear them with my fall looks! I don’t really think there is a rule to wear basket bags, they really work for so many seasons especially if you live in a warmer climate. It has cooled down a bit but a few weeks ago, an outfit like this was perfect for Portland weather…and basket bags!
This is another one of those examples of an outfit that can be worn at a variety of occasions. This would be great for a brunch date with your friends, or a date with your man, or treating yourself to coffee. I like outfits that mix casual and put together. Wearing low pumps can feel dressy but paired with a ripped pair of denim and it gives it a more casual and cool feel.
Is it me or does it feel like I’ve been a bit behind on blog lately?? I really want to start focusing on producing more outfits and great content on here, so I would love to know what kind of posts you would like to see!
Anyways, I have a really busy week coming up with lots of projects and shooting content for the holidays! And then the week after I am going to Reno to visit my dad! SO I have to make sure I get everything done this week. Wish me luck and lots of coffee!
Teddy coats are back…back again! I am all here for it! To be honest, I wasn’t the biggest fan when they came back last year but when I finally found a big oversized one at H&M, I was instantly hooked! I have been wearing mine around the house for the past few days and it’s great for stomping around the leaves in when I have to take my dog Blu out for a walk. Then when I was browsing on Amazon one day (I swear Amazon is the online Target lol) I saw this Teddy Sherpa jacket from Levi’s and I knew I had to get it! If you didn’t already know, I am a HUGE fan of Levi’s. Pretty much all of the jeans I have are vintage Levi’s or a couple of the new wedgie fit… I love them. My dad actually had a Levi’s denim jacket with the sherpa on the inside and it inspired me a bit to get this jacket as well.
I thought I would share some of my favorite teddy coats from this season in case you’re still on the fence about it or if you love them too and are ready to get one yourself!
Let me know what you think of the teddy coat trend? Are you on board or not feeling this one? How would you style yours? Let me know in the comments!
Also, I am so excited to announce my blog is now on WordPress! This is a switch I have been wanting to do but I kept putting it off. SO happy about this! Anyways, happy Wednesday!
