Fall Looks and Inspiration
If you live in the South of the US, fall can mean all kinds of weather. We have had days in the mid 80s, others in the 40s and 60s. Thanksgiving might be short sleeves or you might have to bundle up in a nice warm sweater. So you will notice that some of these outfits could be worn in the spring or others could be considered winter looks under a coat. I will say that fall in my favorite season as you can wear such a variety of clothes. I am sharing here some of my favorites from the past month or so. Hopefully these will be inspiration for you to create some fun fall looks.
Warm Days
When it is too warm for layers, you add a fall touch with printed shoes or your accessories such as a scarf or a fun bag. I actually haven’t worn scarves but a couple of times this fall and have slimmed down my collection keeping only my favorites. I replaced my Loft wide leg jeans with the above Universal Thread pair (2nd hand) and cut an inch of the jeans on the right since I felt the previous length was awkward. I am making my wardrobe work for me!
Light Sweater Days
I have been thrifted Free People tops at my local Uptown Cheapskate store and the 2 above, I found this summer. My husband loved the off the shoulder outfit so I will definitely be wearing that pretty mauve top regularly. The grey sweatshirt has a pretty trim from the shoulder to the wrist which you can see in the outfit below.
Layers
Sometimes a cold day calls for a vest or a shacket! In the fall I tend to wear layers in the morning when it is cooler and shed them in the afternoon. I wore the 2 above outfits on days I went to relax and enjoy the scenery at the Indian Mounds.
Long Sweaters
I have had this leopard sweater for several years now and love the length which works well with leggings. Both it and the blush sweater were Amazon finds.
Sweater 2 Ways
I keep a number of my spring/summer dresses in my closet year round so I can layer sweaters and boots during cooler months. The first look I wore to church one Sunday then changed it up for the rest of the day. With the dress, I tucked the front of sweater in a belt. The Target knit sweater in XS, it is very soft and cozy. The knit is large so you may need a layer under on very cold days.

These are all such great looks. We are firmly in the lots of layers and thick knits season… but i did wear a dress just last week for maybe the first time in fall in a long time. It was a nice thick sweater dress and it kept me pretty warm.

I think most dresses can work with layers under and over depending your activity.

I love how you layered the spring dresses this way Mireille. I’m trying a new system with my closet this year, so we will see how it works,

I put away some (because I like the feeling of newness after they have been put away) but I am looking forward to trying this with several different sweaters and skirts/dresses.

My favorites are the sweater over dress (so practical to use a belt to allow the front tuck – that looks great) and the white T + jeans with print mixed scarf and boots. Our time for enjoying warmer fall weather seems to be over now. We’re more in the highs of 20-40 F range so the out come the layers.

Our weather keeps going back and forth and it usually does so I will be wearing a little bit of everything.
