Blush Basics

Thank goodness blush is continues to dominate because I am not ready to retire it! Consider swapping the white denim for blush this fall. Make this rosey hue pop with metallic accents and printed outerwear. A gold bootie is always a good idea!

Bodysuits for the Win

What did we do before bodysuits were a “thing?” These garments make wearing skirts so much easier. They eliminate all of the excess bulk. Add a little edge to your skirt and bodysuit combo this fall with a textured sock bootie. I own the camo print version of this boot and they are just as comfortable as they are stylish.

Back to Faux Fur

Faux fur remains a hot commodity for the fall and this yellow and white jacket is my favorite item included in the 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I like that it can add some flair to your evening wear, or totally dress up a pair of jeans. Versatility is always something that I will get behind!

Form Fitting Top

Mom jeans are not tight fitting. In fact, I have yet to find a pair that even stretches. When you have a lot of baggage going on below the waist, balance it out with something form fitting up top. I am so confident I would have looked like I was wearing pants three times my size had I paired a boxy t-shirt with these suckers. Consider a crop top or a tight fitting bodysuit. I chose the latter and it is only $12.90 – score!

Hot Kicks

Hot kicks go a long way. Mom jeans with sneakers on a petite frame is not a winning combination. Pair ’em with a stiletto heel and now we’re talkin’! When you are styling a garment that can potentially come off as “frumpy,” a sexy shoe is a reliable remedy. I jumped at the opportunity to wear my Christian Louboutin sequin pumps (as seen here). I think they did the trick!

Fab Belt

Ladies and gentleman, belts are back in style and I mean belts of ALL kinds. Remember those “fanny packs” we used to poke fun at. Yeah, those are now referred to as “belt bags” and homegirl is rockin’ one loud and proud (insert laughing emoji)! I must admit, it is so nice toting your belongings hands-free. But if a fanny pack is too much for you, synch your waist with a traditional belt instead. See ya on the street, hot mama!

Versatile

It is a lot easier to justify a purchase when you know you are getting a lot out of it. When it comes to a fur vest, you are getting a statement piece, and a layering piece. In the featured ensemble, the vest is what makes the outfit pop. In all honesty, this dress would have been a little too plain without the addition of the vest. When I am not using this item as an accessory, I am using it to layer and keep warm. There is nothing cozier than bundling up in fur anything on a brisk autumn day.

Coverage

Perhaps the best reason to invest in a fur vest is because it can provide added coverage during times of need. The last time I styled this piece, I wore it over a sheer crop top. While I am attracted to all things sheer and cropped, I was a lot more confident hittin’ the streets with an extra layer of coverage. The same goes for bodycon skirts and dresses. Maybe you’re a fan of the item but you’d rather shield your assets. A fur vest came come to the rescue!

Glamourous

There is something so prestigious about fur garments. The first thing that comes to mind are the affluent women of Pacific Heights stepping out of their luxury cars in the 1960’s covered up in fur jackets and stoles. The good news is you do not have to drive a fancy vehicle or spend an arm and a leg to look just as glamorous! With an abundant assortment of faux fur clothing on the market today, a faux fur vest is a simple yet effective way to take your ensemble from a seven to a 10.

The Glamorous Chevron and On Knit Top from Nasty Gal throws back to the 1970’s, and the orangey-brown hues make it the perfect fall piece. Featuring a mock-neck, and cropped fitted bodice, this little thing was made for high-waisted bottoms. With the temperatures dropping in San Francisco, I paired this top with high-waisted denim pants, although I originally planned to wear a high-rise denim skirt. I incorporated a boho leather and silver belt to create a smooth transition from top to bottom and layered up with a faux fur vest. I completed the look with a pair of mustard statement earrings and my new “boots with the fur” from ShoeDazzle.

This city gal took the country in stride with a bohemian-inspired look! Knowing it would be chilly, I took advantage of the occasion to rock some faux fur. I paired my brown faux fur vest with high-waisted paisley pants from h&m – mixing prints for the second time this week. Although pictured with a long sleeve knit top, on race day, I wore a cropped sweater for added warmth. I polished off the look with black and brown rhinestone earrings, tassel booties, and an obligatory floppy hat.

The Picket Dreams Black and Brown Color Block Coat from lulu*s is perfection. This black and brown beauty will match with most and add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your ensemble. The mid-thigh length and wool-blend composition make this double-breasted coat appropriate for wear through the winter months as well.

If you’re fond of a black on black look, then this one from the Red Dress Boutique is for you. Let the Arabian Nights Coat do all the popping for you! Featuring a gorgeous multi-colored embroidery, consider this stunner the icing on the cake over your all black attire. I’m thinking mini dress and midnight black over the knee boots…

Chevron has been trending for the last couple of years, as faux fur is just now filling the shelves at every major retailer. Put the two together and you get the Urbancode Faux Fur Chevron Stripe Coat from Asos. Pair this piece with suede bell bottoms for chic boho vibes, or over a LBD for an edgy take on an otherwise classic look.

In the ensemble below, I paired my red fur vest with a black high-waisted midi skirt (available at Current Clothing but similar here). I find high-waisted bottoms particularly flattering for petite women. They do not cut off our already short torsos! Instead, they hit in just the right place (if you live in a colder climate, try high-waisted vegan leather pants). Although any black top would work, I decided to tuck in a champagne blouse (available at Current Clothing but similar here) for some variation. With champagne being in the same color family as gold, I could get away with using a leopard print purse and I like the fur and fur thing. To polish off this look, I threw on my suede and leather peep-toe booties (on sale for under $60!). Again, any black shoe would be a-ok, but when you are styling faux leather and fur, why not go for an edgy look? Plus, the more mixed media, the better.
