I am linking up with Kellyann and Jill for Fashion Files today!

There’s nothing like going on a trip with a small capsule wardrobe and then coming home to see your closet bounty, right?

Also, I took late summer stuff and when I got home it definitely felt like fall here.

So, I have pulled all my fall colors out and have created a fall capsule. I plan to wear all the oranges, mustards, greens, browns until Thanksgiving. Then, I will switch to black, wine, red, blue, grey, and other non-fall colors.

Here are some recent outfits:

This blouse is from a boutique and the brand Entro. I have had it for maybe four years? I really love it and have worn it a ton. Obviously, the sneakers aren’t the best choice, but a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.

Another school ‘fit;

I was glad to hear the leopard is back in a big way because I really like this short sleeved cardigan and I don’t think I wore it last season because leopard felt weird to me then. In both of the above photos I have on Matilda Jane flares. They are the perfect length for me and they are a very of the moment silhouette, I think. I am so glad I have these. Also, for teaching, non-fussy clothes help you to be able to get to the restroom and back in four minutes! Can you do that? Ha!

Another one;

I love this blouse from Target maybe three or four years ago? It looks great with black pants, too. The jeans I am wearing are also Matilda Jane and I didn’t even know they did jeans. I found them at my consignment store and then I cut and frayed them myself being the fashion designer that I am. The mules – love the look but they hard to keep on.

I have also switched to my fall lipstick;

I keep lipsticks longer than I should but I really love this color.

And another one…

this is a fall like blouse from TJ Maxx a few years ago.

And with a cardigan;

Don’t you love the time of year that you can just throw on a cardigan and a jacket isn’t required?

And, my funeral outfit from last Saturday:

I don’t really think people are strict about black anymore, but you still see a lot of people in black.

And, that is a little of what I have been wearing!

I am going to really go through my fall and winter stuff soon and see what I would still buy today and what I would be mad at if it got dog poop on it. Lol! I haven’t bought anything new for this season, really. I really do try to inventory first!

  1. Lots of lovely fall looks! I love that early fall season when a sweater or cardigan is enough and I don’t need a coat yet.

  6. I love that short sleeve cardigan! You do really well with buying printed tops; for some reason I never buy those for me. I love them on other people, but I don’t like them on me. Isn’t that strange? All your outfits are great, as usual!

    1. Thank you! It keeps me from getting too overheated at school, too. I love a print at the expense of not having enough solids. I want to collate my fall stuff and do a post. But, I am seeing what i want to keep. i don’t think it’s strange, but it’s what makes you comfortable. you do stripes sometimes, too. i need more of those!

  8. I love all of your fall blouses, it’s still in the 80’s here and too warm for sweaters so a blouse is the perfect weight. I wore jeans yesterday for the first time in months and couldn’t wait to take them off when I got home, I guess I need to wait a little longer for that!

  9. Hahaha!!! I loved your criteria for keeping or getting rid of something…dog poop! Seriously, I had a cat poop in a favorite pair of shoes, and I worked hard to clean them up so I could keep wearing them.

    I think it’s interesting you base your seasonal wardrobe on specific colors. That’s really smart. I don’t necessarily have a seasonal lipstick, but I do change my eyeshadow to more rusts and bronze colors…even though I’m “supposed” to wear neutrals at my age!
