Browns and Boots

Well we're in full fall swing - browns and boots.  This was a recent outfit I pulled together, I went with lots of layers.  This skirt is a Gap find, perfect with tights and also works with bare leg in warmer weather.  I kept it simple with a heather gray v-neck t-shirt and then layered on a simple zip cardigan from The Loft.  Its a must to have basics in your wardrobe to mix and match to make many different looks.  A plain black sweater like this will get you a long way.

To add some life to the look I paired a light brown belt around my waist, layered on a brushed gold necklace and my chunky gold watch and bangles.  Brushed gold and bronze jewelry are perfect for accenting the fall colors in your wardrobe!

The best part of my look are my favorite fall boots.  These are classic distressed brown riding boot style, that go with so many of my fall outfits.  I swear they get better with age!  These are a Nine West find from their vintage line - I've been in love since I got them! They don't have the exact style, but check out this years vintage line here!  

Simple Black Dress Does the Trick!

I woke up this morning and knew I wanted to wear a dress, something simple so accessories would have to make it work.  The winner ended up being a black thin sweater dress that falls above the knee.  Its really simple, the sleeves slightly balloon and it has buttoned sleeves on the arms.  The chest is also cute with ribbing and large button closure.  If you've read my earlier posts I'm sure you can guess but this was a Marshalls find, I'm sure at a good price!

To jazz it up a little I added a faint silver scarf and a tan and silver studded belt (GAP).  I wanted to keep the look simple so I went with Jessica Simpson black ballet flats.  For some extra shine, I wore my simple silver necklace from Domain.  To be honest, I was almost out the door and knew my look needed something else, thats when I ran back up to my room and added the scarf! :)

Tip: Add a scarf to finish your look!
