Cruising into Fall

It is already August! Before we know it the temperature will begin to drop (into the 80s), PSLs will go up on the menu, and football season begins! I have loved summer and wearing all my cute dresses and sandals, but I can't wait to bring out my cozy sweaters! As hot as it has been this summer, with record highs well into the 100s I know everyone will gladly welcome the coolness of fall.

One fun fall outfit is as simple as putting on your favorite graphic t-shirt, a pair of jeans, and topping it off with a cozy cardigan. Perfect for road trips to view fall foliage, taking in a football game, or just running around town running errands and grabbing coffee with a friend. 

Here is the inspiration:

Olive cardigan and graphic tee

I firmly believe olive is a neutral.

Another outfit by With Love From Kat that I love.  This feels very "New York" to me, chic and polished. This outfit is built using classic pieces we should all have in our closet. (I'm still trying to get my hands on the perfect black leather jacket!

These are the same shoes Kat wears in the outfit. Expensive, but definitely worth the splurge

High-rise black skinny jeans

Jeans go with everything, so does a chambray top!

This may just be the faux leather jacket I've been searching for! Inexpensive and classic lines. Designed by Cupcakes and Cashmere, another blogger I love!

 And a go-with-everything grey scarf in a fun basket-stitch pattern to tie it all together.

So, one of my favorite things about blogs is all of the inspiration I get for outfits! Which is so fun but then I also see things that I want to BUY! Yikes, so I just wait until things go on sale and use birthday, Christmas, Ebates money :)

Here is one outfit from the beautiful blog With Love From Kat. She has a very classic, sometimes boho style that I love. Her pieces can be pricey (she has good taste!), but it's fun to replicate her looks with less expensive versions. This is a great outfit that's not fussy, but you still look put-together. Will be a great one to take you from winter to pre-spring!

Enjoy!

The Inspiration - love the soft, cozy feel with the creamy colors, fur vest, and suede booties

Dark wash skinny jeans

Lightweight creamy sweater

Love the colors of this fur vest

Fun arrowhead necklace that adds a touch of bohemian whimsy

Suede booties are the perfect touch to any outfit

Now just add your gold arm party, favorite go-to brown leather bag, and best Jackie-O sunglasses for a look that's sure to be your new favorite :)
