Fall Fashion Friday!

Just like I love to decorate, I love to put outfits together.  Working as an

interior designer, clients expect you to be pulled together and fashionable.

Although I am not working with clients anymore, I still love to plan

outfits and enjoy hunting for just the right accessories to pull an

outfit together.

Here is a classic outfit for the last weekend of summer 2017.  A striped

French sailor shirt is so classic.  I have owned this one for years and

never tire of it.  It works equally well with white shorts, or white capris,

or jeans.

I have paired it with simple pearl earrings, and an anchor bracelet from

Kiel James Patrick.  I love that it has a charm with my monogram!  I

also am showing my aviator glasses from Ray Ban.  I am very petite and

these particular aviators are for smaller faces, so I don't look swamped

by my shades ;-)

Navy Chuck Taylors from Converse.  I love these shoes, comfortable

and they never go out of style.  I tend to only buy pieces that are classic

and then wear them forever.  That way, all you need is maybe a new

accessory or two, and you can still look trendy without having to buy

everything new each season.  In future posts, I will be sharing items from

my closet that are really old, but still lovable.

Let's jump right into fall styling!  I love the color of this sweater.  It

is new from J Crew.  It is a classic throwback roll neck sweater from the

1980's.  I love this bright color too ~ it's called Saffron.  I am pairing it

with some plaid leggings I purchased last winter,  and some Tory Burch

leopard print ballet flats.  I know I will live in these flats both through

the fall and winter.

I have added a chunky "gold" necklace, bracelet and earrings for some

extra punch.  My tortoise shades add more dimension to this look

I love these flats so much, I could marry them!

Here is a date night look.  Spaghetti strap simple black top.  I plan to

wear it with black skinny jeans.  That purse is a classic and I have owned

it for over twenty years.  

I purchased this statement necklace from an eBay vendor.  Great way

to get lower prices on accessories.

Strappy black heels complete this look

I love what I refer to as multi tasking clothes.  This top and these

leggings are from Lilly Pulitzer's  "Luxetic" line.  They are made from

fibers that have SPF 50 protection.  The long sleeve top is warmer for 

South Texas fall days, and still protects me from the sun.  I can wear this

for long walks, or while running errands.  While I do love traditional 

fall colors, I still love my pinks and wear them often too.  Our fall 

weather is never very cold here, so it often still feels like summer all

the way through October.  

This starfish choker is from Lilly too.  After all, this is the South Texas

Gulf coast!

I sure have put some mileage on these sneakers!  I strive to get 10,000

steps or more per day.  It's one way I can keep fitting into my clothes

year after year.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at some of the outfits I will

be wearing this weekend and beyond.  Have a wonderful weekend 

everyone!
