Yellow Surplice Sweater

     One random fun fact about my fall wardrobe is that I only have a few long sleeve tops, but I have a ton of sweaters.  For some reason, and that reason is not just cool weather, I gravitate towards sweaters.  The structure of the look I’m sharing today is one that you’re likely to find me wearing any given day between October and February.  Today’s particular variant of my go-to sweater-jean-and-bootie combo includes one of my new favorite sweaters.  Enjoy!

     I won’t lie, I’ve been extra drawn to yellow/gold and green ever since I got into Baylor.  I found this yellow surplice sweater at my local Marshalls and between the pretty fall color and soft material, I knew I had to buy it!  Because the sweater is a surplice style, I’m always sure to wear a tank underneath.  For this look, I paired the sweater with a pair of dark wash jeans, which I cuffed above a pair of TOMS booties.  I love these booties because they bring so many bright, fun colors to a look, including the purple that I also incorporated through my stacked purple tassel earrings.  As for the rest of my jewelry, I kept it simple with my plain gold rings and Kendra Scott Elisa pendent necklace in white pearl.

Over the Knees & Bell Sleeves

     I have this running joke with my friends and family that my outfits are often very “blogger” of me when they’re a little more “out there” or bold.  Today’s look, including over the knee boots with white jeans in October, is definitely one of those blogger outfits.  I’m also obsessed with the sweater in today’s look and I’m so beyond excited to be breaking it out for another season now that it’s finally getting cold!  This ensemble is a fun break from the normal fall and winter outfits and I think I’ll be repeat-wearing it quite a bit in the next few months.  Enjoy!

     This purple bell sleeve sweater is a piece I splurged on from Nordstrom last fall after seeing it on Dani Austin’s Instagram story.  I love this pretty purple hue for the cooler months and I’m a sucker for anything with bell sleeves!  Unfortunately, this sweater is no longer available online but I linked a few similar ones below!  I paired the sweater with white jeans (this far after Labor Day, I know!) to contrast my black over the knee boots.  I got these Sam Edelman over the knee boots in January and I’ve absolutely loved them – they’re so fun to style and I think they’re so flattering on your legs.  I accessorized with my matching Kendra Scott white pearl Elisa pendant necklace and Danielle earrings then added my key necklace for a little variety.

Blue & White

     Ask me how happy I am that I can finally wear a sweater in South Carolina without sweating my brains out (hint: I’m really happy)!  Sweaters are great because they’re so comfortable yet still look nice and can be styled so many different ways.  Today I’m sharing a fun way to dress up your favorite basic sweater this fall season.  Enjoy!

     One article of clothing I can always count on to bring an outfit from basic to put together is a denim skirt.  This one from Forever 21 was under $20 (but I’ve had it for over a year and it’s still working for me!) but they’re super easy to find these days.  As for shoes, I wore a simple pair of taupe suede booties.  I dressed up the look with some eye-catching jewelry, including this statement-making Twine & Twig necklace and my fun blue tassel fan hoop earrings from Cute Loops Jewelry!  I love these earrings’ different take on the tassel earring trend and the pastel blue color is so pretty.  Be sure to check out Cute Loops Jewelry and use my code FAITH15 for 15% off your order of $25 or more!

I received the earrings from Cute Loops Jewelry in exchange for features in my blog.  However, all opinions are honest and my own.  I don’t feature products I don’t truly love!  My blog contains affiliate links, meaning I may earn commission from your purchase of the products mentioned.

Florals & Flare Jeans

     I recently got my first pair of flare jeans since skinny jeans became a thing.  It’s so funny to think how regularly I wore these in elementary school and how big of a fashion statement I feel like they are now!  I’ve loved experimenting with these pants and I’m so excited to share my first outfit post with them today.  Enjoy!

     This probably makes me sound like such a teenager but I feel as though this jean style has a bit of a ’70s look to it (maybe that’s just because this is the closest thing to bell bottoms I’ve ever owned?  Or maybe just because I’ve been watching too much That ’70s Show?).  Anywho, I love pairing the jeans with fun florals like this flowy tank.  Since it’s not summer anymore, I kept warm with a long beige cardigan.  For this look, I opted for an old pair of TOMS booties, but I’d really love to get a pair of mules to wear with these jeans!  I accessorized with a simple crocheted freshwater pearl necklace from Cute Loops Jewelry.  I’m obsessed with this necklace and I’ve been wearing it nonstop!  Get 15% off your Cute Loops Jewelry purchase of $25 or more with my code FAITH15!  I matched the necklace with a pair of faux pearl earrings.

Autumn White

     One thing I have a few too many of in my closet is white tops, especially embroidered ones.  They’re so simple and easy to style, I just can’t get enough!  Today I’m sharing yet another look featuring this wardrobe essential – one that I think is perfect for early fall!  Enjoy!

     If I’m wearing a white top in the fall, the bottom clearly needs to be a more autumnal tone, like this maroon skirt!  The maroon denim matches the shirt’s embroidery perfectly and it’s definitely one of my favorite fall pieces.  The only reason I really love this weird “fall but still 80 degrees” time of year is that I can pair sandals, like Jack Rogers, with my fall looks, which I think really works here.  This look’s jewelry was pretty simple with the friendship bracelets I’ve been wearing every day and my favorite Kendra Scott earrings.
