Ready for Fall 2016: Part 1- The Wardrobe

Fall is probably my favorite season. If not, then one of the top two. Or three. Or four. Anyways, I love fall, but as you noticed, am also terrible at picking favorites. I thought I would help you all prepare for the new season with some reasons to be glad that it's finally here in a multi-part series.

Part One: The Wardrobe

Layering:

A stylish answer to weird weather. Layering can be anything from adding a cardigan and scarf to adding leggings and a sweater... and a vest. I look forward to layering because

I can still wear summery items while still dressing appropriately for the weather
You don't need to wear a coat because of all the layers
Super cozy
It's just a great look

Boots:

It's not too hot to wear your favorite boots. They can dress up or down any outfit and look stylish. Win-win. Ankle boots work well for early fall and add pizzazz to jeans or a classic black skirt.

Sweaters:

I don't know about you, but I love sweaters. And sweater season starts with fall. Solid cable knit pullovers always look nice, whether they are worn by themselves or if they are paired with a printed button-down.

3 Stylish Fall Dresses

I am so sorry for not posting in a while. Hopefully this post on seasonal dresses will help make up for it.

You can easily elevate your autumn dress by adding jewelry, choosing the right pair of shoes and if the weather agrees, adding a nice jacket or a pair of tights or leggings.

How to Transition an Outfit from Summer to Fall

Everyone has that outfit that they love to wear during the warm months and hate to put it away and not wear it until that time next year. Though some outfits just can't be worn over during the fall and winter due big tropical patterns or neon colors that may look odd or out of place unless you're on a Caribbean Christmas cruise, many items can be worn differently all year.

5 Cute and Quick Ponytail Tutorials from Pinterest

In case you haven't noticed, I am an avid Pinner. I have learned how to do so many different things from Pinterest, especially hairstyles. Ponytails are a quick and easy lazy day go-to, but I love to dress mine up and make them more than a simple ponytail.

Boots for the Fall

Ankle boots are always popular in the fall and there are so many different styles. I was in Marshall's last week and was pleased to see all the boots in stock - riding boots, Chelsea boots, heeled ankle boots, etc. These featured outfits are all casual, but I plan on doing a post on more formal outfits with boots soon.
