OCTOBURGUNDY


The weather has quickly cooled down in the last week and all of a sudden October has arrived! Which means flannels, scarves, boots, pumpkin flavored everything and of course Halloween.

Current Obsession:  Burgundy 

This color has been catching my eye everywhere.. Jeans, Nail Polish, Button downs etc
It is a glamorous color that is eye catching but not overwhelming.  


October Essentials

Plaid
Nothing can beat a comfy plaid shirt.. I have well over 15 plaid button ups in my closet.  It can be worn any time of year and with anything-cut offs, jeans, leggings, even over a dress.  There are so many different colors, fit and price options out there that I would be surprised if you couldn't find one you love.  My favorite plaid shirts are the male ones I've found at thrift stores for $5, they're the most comfortable and unique and don't break the bank.

Boots

A good pair of boots that are versatile and comfortable is essential in the Fall and Winter.  I am a boot fanatic and am continually looking to add to my collection.  Brown and black are always a safe bet but a grey or dark colored leather is a nice way to add something special to your fall attire.

Leather Jacket

I absolutely loooooove the look of a leather jacket.  I found my brown one in the consignment store Buffalo Exchange 2 or 3 years ago and continue to love it just as much when I found it.  My black jacket is from Urban Outfitters and is a little looser which allows me to wear a thin sweatshirt or plaid shirt underneath.  This Urban Outfitters jacket is stylish and edgy but still easy to wear. 


Jeans

Finding a pair of jeans I love is one of the biggest difficulties I have with my closet.  I can never find a pair that fits me perfectly in tightness, length, and rise.  I am a dedicated skinny jeans fan for now but after wearing out my favorite 7's last year I am determined to find the right brand and fit for a pair of jeans that I will LOVE.  Dark skinnies are always a fall classic but the rich colored denims that are currently in style are a great mix up for your wardrobe.
