It's a New Season!: Essentials for the Fall

Happy Friday everyone! To say that I am as happy as a clam would be an understatement. Why you ask? Because as of yesterday September 22nd, the fall season is officially underway. This doesn't quite mean that we can pull out our fall boots and trench coats, but who says we can't be prepared. So in the spirit of proactiveness (word?), I dusted off (and unwrapped) some of my pieces for the fall. Get ready to see lots of green garments, colorful booties, and the recently re-incarnated bomber jacket

Outerwear:

As easy as it is to just throw on your favorite leather jacket (because let's face it...it's convenient and matches with EVERYTHING), a true fashionista has a couple of fall choice jackets in her arsenal. This is a time to make sure the wind stays outside, while also looking cool with minimalist colors and features. Many of my jackets follow suit with this, while differing in lengths and fabrics. I give you a few examples here:

The not so basic moto leather jacket, that creates a scarf of sorts when zipped up. I got this from JCPenney a few seasons back, but the updated leather jacket is everywhere for those of us who are sick of black (not!), or would rather something more than a vertical zipper.

This purple trench coat screams fall with it burgundy undertones. Trench coats are especially good for the rainy days (we know they're coming). The collard neck will be sure to shield you from Mother Nature's wet kisses.








Longline Cardigans/Vests

One of the best ways to be chic, unique, and comfortable all at the same time?! The long cardigan. Their usual flowiness makes it look like you tried, while the coziness makes you feel like you didn't have to try too hard. Score two for you! These babies are my literal go to for everything; running errands, going to work, laying around the house, etc.

 Bomber Jackets:

And on today's episode of Fashion History repeating itself, we have the Bomber Jacket, straight from the 90's. Those were the days. Contrary to my fashion musings when I was 14, the bomber jacket has come a long from its big, sometimes lifeless form. It now features fab colors (some even still come in that Pepto Bismol pink), and even more fabulous pockets. I was even able to score this silk one from one of my favorite boutiques,  Stacked Apparel

Shoes:

We definitely cannot forget the most important staple to any well put together fall outfit. Fall is the time where we pull out the high and mid ankle booties, as well as the wine, green,and beige colors.

OOTD: 70's Boho Chic

The 1970's called for lots of bohemian far, from fringes to bell bottoms, the 70's was a very bold and happening time for all fashion lovers. My outfit today,complete with the natural ponytail afro puff, was very reminiscent of a time that called for bold prints and flowy fabrics.

My bell-sleeved peasant blouse is a throwback to my mom's Nine West days. With lots of flowers and fun abstract shapes, this sheer blouse made for easy breathing on this 90 degree day. I really love the slit in the bicep area, which added some sexiness in addition to the the wrinkled fabric.

These ripped/distress jeans are from Rainbow Shops. They're having a wonderful end of the season clearance sale, with items up to 75% off. You can check them out here.

Last but not least, are these denim block heels I got from Go Jane. I am so IN LOVE with these shoes, and slightly sad that I got them as the season ended. As all of my plus size divas know, the thicker the heel, the more comfortable we are. So I was very lucky to score these shoes with a block platform AND block heel. Comfort times 2. I actually purchased a few shoes from GoJane this past week. Blog post coming soon.
