Fall Fashion 2014

Although I am not always the most fashionable person, I do really find it fun to experiment with. With the cooler temperatures beckoning hayrides, bonfires, chili, apple cider and visits to the Pumpkin Patch, Pinterest begins exploding with scarves, sweaters, boots and leggings. Here are my essentials I have this far for the fall fashion season:

Hopefully you can tell from this photo what everything is. As I was taking it from my foot board, I was also falling simultaneously. I'm talented like that. 

Item 1) Aztec print dress. You don't have to go with an Aztec print, I just love it. This one was one I won from an online shop called The Mint Julep Boutique. I'm in love with their stuff! Check them out at www.TheMintJulepBoutique.com or on Facebook: The Mint Julep Boutique. They're always running contests. 

Item 2) Chunky sweater. This is the best for those "fat" days. You know, when you're so bloated that all you want to do with put on a big sweater and crawl into a cave. And die. But why do that when you could put on a big sweater, some leggings and boots....and LIVE? And look cute while doing it! Wow! Amaaaaazing! 

Item 3) The essential T-Shirt. I buy my tees too big because I loathe tight shirts. These are from Urban Outfitters, 2 for $28.00, but I know you can find them cheaper at stores like Forever 21. 

Item 4) Rain Boots!!! Enough said.

Item 5) Flats. Mine are camo and are from Target. They were on clearance a whole back for, like, $4 or something. 

Item 6) Jeans/Jeggings. I personally go with a jegging because, let's face it, if you've ever had kids like me, you have skin that isn't quite where it used to be. I prefer my jeans to be easily tuckable, since I am a master at strategic skin tucking. Work it, ladies. I have two pairs here because one is a solid dark jean and the other is a more textured, worn jean. Just depends on how your mood is that day. 

Item 7) Scarf! Enough said, yet again. 

Item 8) A lightweight cotton flowy shirt. Put under a jacket for a simple, soft and casual look. 

Item 9) Plaid button up. Wear it by itself, tucked into your jeans or over a t-shirt. I love this one that I got from Charlotte Russe for $22.00.

Item 10) Big open sweater. This can be paired with anything. Mine if from Target last winter. I am a small-medium, but I bought an x-large because I wanted it BIG. I wear it with my pjs and outfits. It's so comfortable! 

Item 11) Some fall heels are crucial. These can be paired with a dress or jeans. They dress up almost any outfit. 

Item 12 NOT PICTURED) Leather jacket. I still have yet to get one. It would go with anything, as well. 

Item 13 NOT PICTURED) Denim Button Up is also something I have yet to get. It's not completely essential if you have the plaid, but it is super cute. 

Item 14 NOT PICTURED) Leather boots.....I have them, but I'm too lazy to get them out of storage for a picture. They are great with dresses or jeans. And are a big statement. I always feel complete with them. 

So there you have it. Don't think you need all these at once, unless you have the money. Believe me, this took a while to gather. And, obviously, I'm still collecting. 

Thanks for reading! 

PS- I'm really digging those floppy hats for fall. If only I could convince my husband....
