Honesty time, I love clothes. My collection of clothing rivals that of my books and that’s the truth! I love mixing and matching my clothes to my moods and the seasons. I try to keep myself from wearing the same thing too many times by switching up what I wear and mixing my pieces of clothing too! I find that some things work, while others, well, not so much… But in the process it’s been fun to discover my own style! With this I thought I would share some of my favorites heading into the Fall as well as some of the more popular trends, but with a twist – each outfit is paired with a book that I think would be a cozy Fall read!
Vest/Black Skinny Jeans
One trend that 100% love is the vests! Vests are HUGE this Fall and I love the chunky knit vests the best. They are so cozy and can be worn so many different ways with so many different shoes. If you grew up in the 90’s you might have PTSD from some of the not as attractive sweater vests that are parents put us in, but NO MORE. Now we can style them so many ways while looking cozy and cute for the Fall! Take a pair of black jeans, some ankle boots and you have yourself an adorable outfit, ready for work, school or maybe just a cozy day at home!
So what book am I pairing with this cozy outfit? Death by Pumpkin Spice! I love a cheesy mystery book so much and this one is so similar to Hallmark Mysteries! This would be the perfect book to take on the go or curl up with and read on a chilly Fall day.
Shacket/Faux Leather Leggings
Another of my favorite Fall trends is the shacket. Do I own 8 shackets? Yes. Do I still want more? Also yes. I love how comfy and versatile they are! You can throw it over a hoodie, a graphic tee, cropped top or whatever your heart desires. One item I love to pair my shackets with this are my faux leather leggings. These look so sharp for the fall and are honestly ridiculously comfortable. As far as footwear goes, you can’t go wrong with a pair of white or off white sneakers. I have loved pairing my white sneakers with everything from leggings to dresses this past year, they are so versitile!
What to pair with this comfy Fall outfit? Legends & Lattes! This book is adorable in so many different ways. How can you not love a fantasy world with a coffee shop?! I mean seriously, this book is the definition of a Fall read and is a must as we head into the crisp/cool air of the Autumn!
Bright Colors/Ballet Flats
I don’t understand it, but here we are, bright colors are in this Fall. You can still wear your favorite Fall tones from the mustards to the browns, but bright colors have worked their way into the mix! Another hot item are ballet flats, and while these are not my cup of tea, they would pair nicely with a pair of brow work pants and maybe a pink top like above! Browns and pinks are going to be a noticeable trend, as they are mixed and matched in multiple ways!
So what do we pair with some fun Fall brights? Love on the Brain! This adorable rom-com is the perfect transition from Summer to Fall. If you want to hold onto the rom-com reads of Summer but you’re ready for that Fall transition, pick this one up. It’s adorable and will leave you swooning for more!
Be on the lookout for more posts like this as I break down some of my favorite and the most popular trends as we head into Fall this year. So many fun options to choose from, you can’t go wrong!
