My FAVORITE time of year

B far Fall is my most favorite season of them all. Partly because my birthday is in October but mostly because of the fashion. Its the time of year where its not too hot or cold and God blesses us with a happy medium. Colors change outside and the time comes to pack away the maxi dresses and sandals. Now what i see is that a lot of women struggle with this time of year by either holding on to the summer or going knee deep into winter way too soon. Most women group all the winter clothes into one block of the year when really Fall is a transitional period. The best way to not look out of place in fur boots in October is to make a smooth transition into the season.
You do this by incorporating cardigans in different cuts and colors as a staple piece of your wardrobe. Its goes without saying that this is no longer a look reserved for old women but can be worn by all ages. Find the right one for you. If you want to invest in one that will last for years to come,opt for a cashmere knit in a neutral color like black or nude. If you want to just make it through til its time to pull out the big guns, check out places like Express,Banana Republic and The Gap for sure fire winners. To add jazz to this look, add a skinny belt in a patent or croc material and top over almost any style jean with a little v-neck tee or crisps button up with slack for a professional look.
Also I know how women feel about their boots,they are right their next to the kids. With that being said,we take baby steps with these as well. Booties are huge right ow and I particularly love the open toe ones. People often get confused on how to wear these when it gets cool with out freezing their toes off. You do this by wearing tights with your boots in a variety of colors and patterns to keep the feet warm. Go to DSW, Nine West or Off Broadway for budget friendly boots. My favorite shoe designers are Steve Madden,Carlos Santana and Jessica Simpson,they always get it just right to me. In my world the whole outfit starts with the shoes so if you can tackle this, your headed in the right direction.
Winter will be here and we will be dreading it before you know it so take your time with the cowl neck wool sweaters,turtlenecks and suede pants til December January, you don't wanna already have grown tired of that stuff before its even time to officially wear it.
