How We Wore It // Darker Fall Tones

It's that time of month again. How We Wore It Wednesday has channelled its inner Halloween and gone DARK!

This months inspiration comes from Style Lately. The gorgeous gingham top from Zara paired with the dark skinnies and the pointed toe heels makes for the perfect outfit to match the mood of these dreary overcast, 60-ish degrees days.

Here's my take on it: Gingham isn't a popular print in my wardrobe but I did find an old scarf that I love. Paired with the printed scarf I went with a casual black and white look inspired by Style Lately's black and white top. Is the old saying "You can't wear white after labor day" still valid? If so, I'm throwing that rule out the window. My rule is "you can't wear white after it starts snowing" because with two kids the beautiful fresh white powder turns into a brown muddy mess. These white ripped jeans from Old Navy are the ONLY pair of white bottoms I own and I absolutely love them. My black long sleeve shirt, also from Old Navy, is a great fit and can be worn on it's own or under a sweater if you need to dress it up.

Scarf: Forever 21. Black Top & White Jeans: Old Navy. Boots: Forever Young Shoes.

One of my favorite parts of this photo shoot was my handsome little photographer.

How adorable is he? Thats what happens when you realize your hubby will be home from work WELL after the sun goes down and you've been on vacation the last 11 days. I would say my 3 year old did pretty good huh? Of course there were a few outtakes.

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.
