Make them Pieces Hit!

 

Welcome Back!!! I know it's been a week or so since we've last met up, but here we are. It's October already.

 The thing I like most about this time of the year are the rich color options in clothing!!! (Not that you can't wear these colors year round but the availability of options are limitless during the fall)

I think my favorite color combo HAS to be Pumpkin and Cranberry (or a deep burgundy color). I'm all for this pairing in work and play clothing.

With these two colors, the neutrals can be anything (nude, navy, animal print (yes I use animal prints as a neutral).

 

Here I paired a textured pencil skirt in PUMPKIN with a rich hued Cargo Anorak Jacket. I chose to belt it to give it a little more structure. The shoes and belt are a richer/darker hue of Burgundy to add a bit of dimension and to finish it off, I added Cheetah print earrings.

Totally making each piece hit with the placement and pairings of the other pieces.

 

 

I am so HERE for this color combo. What about you??

Transitioning Your Wardrobe

 

It's Officially Fall Time and with Fall comes cooler weather. But the weather hasn't gotten the notice just yet! Here in NYC the mornings are kind of cool but the afternoon heats up. Not exactly Sweater and Boot Weather.

So I decided to give you a few of my simple steps to transition your summer wardrobe into Fall without completely committing to Fall attire.

 

1. LAYERS UPON LAYERS UPON LAYERS

Layering is the single most important step to transitioning your wardrobe. Adding a fun knit sweater, a thin leather jacket or a light denim always brings a dress or jumpsuit into the current season.

I tend to stay in fall like materials but in lighter weight versions (light suede, light leather, and denim) . You can also layer underneath. Adding a shirt underneath a maxi dress, gives it a fall-like look and feel.

 

Example: You can see in the photo below, I took a textured summer dress and layered a lightweight leather jacket on top. I opted for cream versus white (NO WHITE AFTER LABOR DAY LOL).

2. COLOR AND TEXTURE

Adding Fall Textures and Fall Colors into your already existing wardrobe (with bags, shoes, and belts) makes for an easy transition. In the picture above, I added a bold cobalt bag and reptile textured sandals for a fall feel. In some instances, I'd add a funky hat or some other piece to bring the outfit into the current season. Play with different textures and color combinations.

 

 

3. KISS AND MAKEUP

Changing up the makeup colors you use is simple. Instead of a bright orange lippie, try a deeper hue of orange or brown. Instead of colorful eyeshadow, choose warmer tones. Mauves and Berries are definitely in for Fall ALWAYS. So opt for those instead of neons and brights.

 

 

It's as simple as that! No hard thinking and definitely no breaking of banks. Use what you have. Make it work.

 

But Always remember, these are just MY tips, you gotta do what works for you! Make decisions based on your style and preference. If my tips are helpful then use them. If not, pass them along to someone they can help.

 

As always, I welcome all comments and feedback!

 

Enjoy this Fabulous Thursday

Cutesy Cute Cute

 

 

Being a Plus Size blogger is a gift and a curse!!! In one way, you get to share your perspective of fashion with the world! But then, YOUR POCKETS, ouch!!!! lol

 

Either way, I like to try and keep up with my favorite brands. I sign up for most fashion newsletters and store emails. It helps me to know about what's new and about sales of course.

 

This morning, I got a new Eloquii email.

I couldn't help but share these few SUPER CUTE items that they've recently launched. I NEED ALL THREE.

 

Take a look below.

 

 

These items are super cute for fall! What do you think??? I'm in LOVE!
