How We Wore It // Fall Sweaters

I am so excited to be back collaborating with How We Wore It and am happy to kick off Fall Fashion with some serious sweater action.

Our inspirational look came from the stylish Stephanie who blogs at Diary of a Debutante! 

Stephanie features her oversized navy turtleneck tunic, skinny jeans, cognac booties and a stunning triple zipper Tory Burch bag.  An oversized sweater and booties are always on the top of my fall Must Haves and Stephanie's navy tunic is spot on for cooler weather.  With this look in mind, I knew exactly what clothes I'd pull from my closet to spotlight for this post. 

Here is my take on it:  This months feature is complete with a maternity friendly look from my closet. Pushing 28 weeks pregnant, oversized sweaters and stretchy jeans are just what I needed as my body continues to change with the seasons. Just a few short weeks ago I told Kevin that I needed a new sweater for fall and one that would fit throughout the remainder of my pregnancy. I found this oversized chunky knit sweater at Motherhood Maternity and I fell in love. The knit material is heavier which allows for keeping warm, however, because of the knit material I do have to wear an undershirt. Layering in fall though is always a good idea.  My skinny jeans are also maternity, since baby #3 has totally changed my body. I am so grateful that I can be expanding and still have style. I love the darker shades of blue denim for fall and skinnies are the best to wear with boots, booties or clogs.  I paired my tunic with my American Eagle clogs!

How We Wore It// Fall Transition

Its been one of those months, where if it weren't for my favorite fashion post I might not have blogged at all. I promise October will be better and full of some awesome posts as we prepare for Fall and lots of traveling. 
Septembers How We Wore It is a Fall Transition look.  Fall is my absolute favorite and I am so excited for fall colors, jeans, sweaters and boots.  Our look for this month is inspired by Emily who blogs at Life With Emily.

I love this look that Emily put together. Especially the orange pleated top. Orange is a great fall color and paired with the nude heels and handbag, Emily's look is flawless for day or night in late September.
Here's my take on it: I absolutely adore Emily's bold top color however, I tend to lean more towards neutral colors in the fall.  Blacks, tans, burnt orange, sage green and burnt yellow are some of my favorite fall colors. I went with a more color neutral pallet for my take on this look.  I paired a black and tan sweater with jeans and a pair of black heels.  Over sized sweaters are a MUST for fall and this Kerisma 3/4 length sweater is a perfect fall transition piece.  (PS. 3/4 length sleeves are my ABSOLUTE favorite on any top) These jeans you've probably seen in 102858305 other fashion posts because they are one of my absolute favorites. A little classic "ripped jeans" look and the perfect fit for my body type.  My black heels from Sophia & Lee are a timeless addition to my wardrobe, perfect for any season and elegant way to dress up any look. 

I loved this months post and as I sorted through my closet for a little "fall cleaning" I got so excited for all the warmer clothes I'll get to be styling in October.

How We Wore It: Fashion Collaboration

Is anyone else LOVING this fall weather we are having in DECEMBER?! Especially out here in Utah, it's a big deal that the ground is not completely covered in snow.
I was so excited when I got invited to be apart of a Fashion Collaboration this week. We all know I rarely get to posting fashion with all of the busy kid/mom stuff I'm posting about, so I was beyond thrilled to get this "assignment" that pushed me to post about something I love. A handful of some of my favorite bloggers and instagrammers were each sent an image and then given the opportunity to post our take on the outfit. You can check out each of their looks through their links below.
The inspired look came from Krystin, at Suburbun Fux-Pas, and her amazing fur vest.

Here is my take on it: I literally almost had IDENTICAL pieces in my closet and knew right away what my look would be. I loved the mix of the fur vest and plaid shirt. The color of the hat gives it the perfect fall touch and pulls the color from the plaid right out. I adore booties and a staple brown bootie is a MUST for any ones fall wardrobe. I'm not a big jewelry wearer as of late (can you blame me with a ten month old who pulls on everything?) but Krystin's simple gold arm candy was a flawless match up for this look.

 And YES, I am totally aware that my photo shoot is identical to Krystin's. Oops.
