Fall #OOTD

How are you all doing on this cool Sunday morning?  I hope you're enjoying the cooler weather as much as I am! (I honestly couldn't stop smiling the first day it was under 60 degrees haha...I'm such a cold-weather person!) 

Today, I just wanted to share with you a fall outfit that I'm loving right now!  I was inspired to pick up this pinafore dress from Topshop, by my all-time-inspiration, Megan Ellaby (check her out if you haven't already. She's a dream!).  The rest of the outfit fell together from there.

Step Out of Your Closet Comfort Zone

How are you all feeling on this sunny Sunday morning?  I hope you're feeling confident and a little experimental, because I've been challenged by Dia & Co. to 'face my fashion fears', and I think you should too!  They've challenged me to wear an outfit/clothing item I might not normally have the confidence to wear, so I've decided to show a little more skin, wear some gorgeous colored sunnies, and some oh-so-badass boots.  

This outfit featured a couple out-of-my-comfort-zone elements.  I thought I might feel a little self-conscious wearing this, but instead I felt quite the opposite!  Wearing this gorgeous outfit has surprisingly made me feel more empowered.  The boots made me feel badass, the v-neck dress made me feel pretty and feminine, and the sunnies were of so cool.

Winter's Key Trends

I hope you are all having a lovely Christmas holiday! I cannot believe Christmas is already here.  December really has flown by this year, which makes me a little sad, since it is one of my favorite months.  Although, I am really looking forward to celebrating with my lovely family and eating lots of festive foods.

In the wintery spirit, I thought I would go over some of the key trends for Winter 2016/2017.

Layer Like a Pro

Since the temperature is dropping and party season is just around the corner, I thought it was about time we talk about layering and how to do it like a pro.  I've chosen a daytime and a nighttime look to show how I'm using basics to create the perfect layered effect.

Celebrity Trend for Less

One of the most popular trends for Fall/Winter 2016 are military/band style jackets.  They have cropped up everywhere from the Gigi x Tommy Show to various bloggers' Instagrams.  Of course, I had to find a my own option to incorporate into my wardrobe.  

After seeing Gigi's jacket during her show, I knew I had to have it.  Of course, her Tommy Hilfiger jacket is over $300, so I was forced to go on a hunt for another option.  After an intensive search, I have completely fallen for this black velvet, Zara version with gold details.  (Zara has really been on the ball lately!)
