It's no secret around here that I am a blazer fanatic… I'm guessing a few of my you gals reading right now are too. In my opinion there is a blazer for every occasion and an occasion for every blazer. I definitely could wear this closet staple everyday… especially this time of year. Blazers are the absolute perfect transitional wear… which means for me they get heavy wear in the spring and especially the fall.
I love that you can layer a blazer over a tank, tee or even a sweater… so you can really customize your outfit for the seasons and your style effortlessly. Here are eight of my favorite blazer looks that I have worn here on the blog… PLUS my top picks for blazers that are in stores this fall. There are seriously SO. MANY. GORGEOUS. OPTIONS. It's darn near impossible to even choose a favorite here… but tweed, velvet and houndstooth have got to take the cake here. But all of these are gorgeous and classic pieces that would be perfect in any fall wardrobe. What are your favorites? I'd love to hear!
Earlier this summer I kicked off a new seasonal series here on the blog featuring wardrobe essentials based on some awesome feedback from you, my readers! You gals were loud and clear that you wanted clear and concise seasonal advice on what to put in your closet. Some of you wanted inspiration on filling in the potential holes in your wardrobe each season and others of you wanted a specific guide on creating a capsule wardrobe to minimize the amount of items in your closet while maximizing the style and ease of getting dressed each morning.
I loved the idea too… so I was happy to deliver! You gals loved the summer version of the "wardrobe essentials" so I knew it would be a great series here on the blog. Today I've got the fall version of the wardrobe essentials for you… and I think you are going to 'fall' (wink, wink) in love. Keep in mind… some of these pieces you may already own, or you may own similar items. Use this as a guide for a cohesive fall wardrobe filling in blank spots in your personal closet as needed.
I don't personally subscribe to a 'capsule' wardrobe but I will say that I don't own a ton of clothes… I really zero in on what I love each season and try to create outfits repeatedly out of those pieces without adding endless new clothes to the mix. I find it easier to create outfits with a smaller palate… and that is really what capsule dressing is at it's core, I suppose.
Here are my fall wardrobe essentials… which pieces do you plan to add to your wardrobe this fall?
Many of you gals responded to my recent survey asking "What is one thing that would make getting dressed each morning easier?" by saying that you would like a seasonal guide to the must-haves or a capsule-like inspiration for the seasons. You gals are genius… I knew I could call on you for your honest feedback and inspiration! (By the way, THANK YOU to those that responded… your responses were incredibly insightful and will lead the way for some fun new series and projects around here! So stay tuned!)
Even though summer is almost half over (cue the sadness)… there is still plenty of warm and sunny weather left (cue the happiness) and so today we are going to talk summer wardrobe essentials. This list of 30 items is based on what I own and wear all summer as a stay-at-home-mom. So a lot of the items you see here are items you see on the blog or on my Instagram regularly. Because of that they are proven to be versatile, easy to wear, easy to mix and match and great for a busy mom lifestyle. I can attest to that! If you work in an office these may be more of your weekend or after work essentials. No matter your lifestyle, if you are a gal that wants some quick and easy summer outfit basics that can be easily mixed and match into outfits for any summer occasion… these are it!
