Happy Friday and First Day of Fall! It's going to be in the high 80's again, so I don't think mother nature read the calendar. Nonetheless, I can still find ways to incorporate fall trends into my wardrobe. Did you catch my previous 5 fall trends to try post? Here are five more:
I have worn this swing dress many ways this summer, some of which did not make the blog. Since olive has become a neutral, year round color, I will be wearing it right into fall.
Two trendy items I've come to love are the fedora and kimono. This short length kimono is perfect for petite ladies as it's less likely to overwhelm your frame, particularly when paired with another loose fitting item like boyfriend shorts. You don't want to get lost under your clothes. And well, fedoras are just fun and perfect for a bad hair day.
Are you on board with the kimono trend? I ignored it at first, thinking it was too "young" and too impractical for me. I certainly can't wear this to work. Then it showed up on the GYPO Summer Style challenge shopping list and I said "NO." Then I saw the other ladies shopping and posting, so I started looking. Since I'm petite (short) I think a shorter one looks best. I like them if they don't hang much longer than the hem of the bottoms or dress being worn. I found this one online at Forever 21 and decided it would make a nice summer to fall neutral piece. Of course, I also searched out the looks on Pinterest before I fully decided if this is for me on not. I have some other looks pinned that I will be trying out. I also ordered a floral kimono from Jane.com and had to return it because it was too large and there was no exchange option, so I'm still on the hunt for a floral one now that I've embraced this piece.
This outfit was Day 13 of the challenge- kimono, flowy tank, white shorts, wedges.
I spent a good chunk of my long weekend cleaning out the closet. I've listed several things on Poshmark. If you're interested, check out my Poshmark closet.
It's up for grabs HERE. Make an offer. I consider all offers over $5. Let's be real- I'm left with $2 out of a $5 sale, and that's not enough to buy a box or envelope to ship the item in. I also do bundles and discount the total by 20%.
Here are some pieces that would make a totally chic outfit paired together:
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great week!
