Fall Fedora + Textures

Well, fall is officially here! With these cooler, fluctuating temperatures comes the opportunity to experiment with various layers, textures and accessories. I have a feeling this burgundy fall fedora and I are going to be spending a lot of time together this season. I love wearing hats because 1) they're a lifesaver on bad hair days (or for trying to go as long as possible in between hair washes lol), 2) they can take an outfit to the next level, and 3) the extra warmth is always nice for a cold-natured person like myself!

When picking out a hat for your fall wardrobe, you can't go wrong with neutrals (black, brown, gray, etc.), though color can be fun! I went with this burgundy color because I tend to wear a lot of neutrals in the fall, so this particular hat will provide a nice, muted pop of color, as seen in this outfit.

Also, layering different textures is a great technique to keep in mind when putting together fall outfits. In this outfit alone there are six different textures (leather, faux croc leather, canvas, knit, felt, nylon). This technique also helps differentiate several pieces of the same color in one outfit.

Have a Happy Monday and thanks for stopping by!

The Perfect "Open Sweater"

- outfit details -

open sweater || Target
fleece-lined tights || Chinese Laundry
boots || Calvin Klein
bag || Phillip Lim for Target
scarf || H&M
rings || Forever 21 & Windsor
sunglasses || Target
lip color || MAC "Shanghai Spice"
nail color || Essie "Chinchilly"


A few reasons why I'm loving this open sweater from Target...

  1. The "oatmeal" color makes it a great neutral option that can coordinate with many outfits.
  2. Because of the "open" style, it can be easily layered on or off depending on fluctuating temperatures encountered throughout fall/winter days. 
  3. The length of the sweater hits below the hips, so it looks great with leggings, skinnies, or fleece-lined tights (the shirt/sweater underneath the open sweater must hit below the hips though - that's my rule - and should be the universal rule - for leggings as "pants").
  4. The leather trim is the perfect detail to make the sweater feel on trend and more of a statement piece than a basic sweater.
