The GYPO Fall Style Challenge kicks off today. This tone on tone look, created with two of fall's hottest colors, blush and marsala, is inspired by the Day 1 prompts. You could do this with two shade of any color and complete it with a scarf and gold flats. You get a shopping list and suggestions when you sign up for these challenges. I had some things in my closet already, like these flats. Mine are gold with a black cap toe so I'm subbing for the gold flats recommended in the shopping list. I also decided to go with an olive satchel purse instead of a burgundy one. I have been looking for a couple of months for a burgundy purse/tote, even before I signed up for the challenge, but later decided that I can overdo it with the burgundy/marsala/oxblood in the fall, so an olive one would be a nice compliment to all this burgundy.

Tassels and pom poms were trendy accessory items this summer, so I'm late to the party with mine. But let me justify. I came across this scarf on clearance ($3.99) recently and the jewel tones screamed fall to me. It's still too hot for traditional scarves so this light number is perfect. It adds some much needed color to this dress. The suede booties indicate I'm ready for fall, so I think this works great as a summer to fall transition outfit. I picked up these booties last year at TJMaxx while searching for some cognac booties. These are a long  way from cognac but were too adorable for me to pass up. I can't find any quite like them now, so I've linked up some suede wedge choices for you and some cut out ankle booties.

 

Let's talk about this dress too. There was a time when I would have only worn something like this just one way, the way it is and would not have recommended it as a must have. However, I've created so many different looks with this that I'll now say a chambray or denim dress is a must have. It's like a blank palette waiting for you to create with. It goes season to season. You can take this piece right into winter with a utility jacket, tights or leggings and boots, like I did here.

You most often see my office attire here but I have my casual moments too. This was one of them. I wore this to Bible study last week. These olive joggers are perfect for casual days and for fall. I debuted them here as a summer outfit, but I knew their late start in my closet and wardrobe would not hinder them getting attention. Olive is on trend for fall and with our warm fall seasons, this combo of chambray and olive is perfect. I look like I'm ready for fall, but the lightweight materials keep me cool.

I styled two more pieces from my 30x30 remix from last year. I wore this blouse with grey pants during the remix but not with the skirt. A year later this feels fresh and new. For some reason, I gravitate to leopard more in the fall, but it's a classic that can be worn year round. If you are trying to build a classic remixable wardrobe, invest in a grey pencil skirt and nude pumps. Grey goes with anything that black goes with and so do the nude pumps.

Since the calendar said it was officially fall, I busted out a pair of booties. These work well for the office, but I rarely wear them casually. You may also remember this cobalt sweater from last September's 30x30 remix.   I wore it four ways during that remix, including pairing it with black slacks. I wore it with a red blazer then. Funny how changing shoes, accessories and your topper, or completer piece (blazer) can make yet another new outfit. If you have some good base pieces, you don't need lots of clothes to have a workable wardrobe.
