Happy Tuesday, Loves!!! Fall is almost over! Yay? Actually, I love fall. Fall and Spring are my favorite seasons. Perhaps because the weather is generally nice and mild. Winter officially arrives right before Christmas (on the 22nd, I think). It finally feels like winter over here in Houston. The weather has been ridiculous…one day it’s 80 degrees and the next day it’s 30 degrees. But why??? I appreciate when it’s at least cold around Christmastime…it is supposed to be cold in December! I keep dreaming of a White Christmas, but, if I can’t have that, the weather can at least be chilly! For the record, I still haven’t bought any Christmas gifts. I will be frantically shopping at the end of this week…may God help me. Amen!
Anyhoo, this is a great look to close out fall, eh? There are several pieces in this look that I want to discuss…notably, the (faux) fur vest, burgundy wedges, and ankara print clutch. First, let’s discuss the fur vest. I think a fur vest is an awesome way to jazz up an outfit. You can wear it belted, like I did above, to give it some shape or just wear it by itself. Speaking of belts…I love this one that I picked up from H&M last year. I wear it with everything. It’s slimming because of the black band, and the gold accents in the middle add some pizzazz. H&M is currently carrying a similar one…you need it in your life. Ok…back to the fur vest. You can also wear a fur vest with dresses, a top/skirt combo, or a jumpsuit. It’s a very versatile piece to add to your wardrobe.
Next thing i want to discuss is those shoes! Hot, right? Burgundy is definitely an it-color for fall/winter. It has a beautiful and rich tone. Thick heels are very on-trend right now. This one is basically a wedge. I love wedges, since they add height like heels, but are generally more comfortable. I’ve linked to several similar items above and below, including an awesome pair of Nine West wedges that are very similar to the shoes I’m wearing.
Last, but not least, let’s talk about this ankara clutch (check out the model on the website!) from Ankara Luv! It’s awesome, right? I’ve been really into ankara clutches/bags lately because they are so fun and instantly add character to any outfit, but what I really like about this one is how subtle it is. The color-blocking with the black and touches of ankara adds a level of elegance. I love how it’s business on the outside, but a party on the inside! It also has a chain, so it can be worn as a shoulder bag. Check out Ankara Luv for other great bags, etc! Have an awesome week, and thanks so much for reading!!
