Five fall trends to try

Each season has it's trends and some of them carry from one season to the next. Here are five of my favorite current falls trends. Some of them came on the scene in spring and summer and are now available in fall colors and textures.

Olive swing dress

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.

Pink cardigan and floral top

This is outfit number 10 from my 10 pieces 10 outfits summer capsule post. I love  how the pink cardigan brightens up the dark navy palette.

Side tie

Happy Labor Day Weekend to those of us in the U.S.! There are some great sales this weekend, so it's time to stock up on those end of summer items that will carry us into fall, or start planning our fall wardrobes. If you are just lost as to what to wear this fall, then consider joining the GYPO Style Challenge Fall 2017. 

Gives me butterflies

I've had this Old Navy butterfly print top for a few years now, and I was itching to wear it before summer ended. It's one of my favorites.

10 pieces 10 outfits summer work capsule

I love the idea of 10x10 challenges, or 7x7, or 30x30. I sometimes pick a number for myself just to challenge myself and get out of a rut. Even if I don't follow through with the whole idea of wearing only those 10 or so pieces for 10 or so days, it helps me create new outfits and have some outfits on standy by for when I don't won't to think about what to wear.

I recently created a ten piece work capsule from my closet to help me get through the last days of summer. I did not include shoes. Some people do, but I love shoes and think they can change the whole look and vibe of an outfit just like accessories so I don't limit myself on shoes in a capsule.

Below are the ten pieces I chose plus the outfits. Some items are exact and some are similar to the ones in my closet.
