Ok, technically it's not Autumn for another day, and I seriously doubt the weather is going to change drastically to suit the date. I see my fellow lovelies online, looking all cozy in their over-sized sweaters and their leggings tucked into adorable riding boots. Sigh.
I guess I shouldn't be bummed out. This happens every year. In Arkansas, we almost don't even have an Autumn. We have summer, and then slightly cooler summer. We count ourselves lucky if it gets chilly by mid-October. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. We never know what it's going to feel like on Halloween. Seriously. More often than not, our poor kids are sweating in their costumes.
Anyway, I've been trying to make Autumn-y looking outfits that I can actually wear without dying. (Ok, I exaggerate, but it is still HOT.)
Oh, also I have nearly no budget for new clothes. I'm having to be inventive, although I don't mind the challenge. Basically I have been layering vests and cardigans over my summer dresses. Also throwing in fringe whenever I can. So glad fringe is trending right now! I have always loved it.
I have always loved belting this particular fringe vest. (I guess you'd call it a vest?) I just think it creates an interesting look and I love the shape it gives me! Sometimes my back fat tries to eat my belts, but whatever. I'm still cute!
And these ankle boots! I got these last fall and I'm planning on wearing the heck out of them this year, too. Also my cute fringe cross-body bag. I've already been using it a lot.
Wow. I've got triple fringe going on in this outfit. Is it too much fringe? No. The answer is no.
To all my fellow Southern fashionistas, stay cute. Stay cool. Stay comfortable. Be fabulous. If I can do it so can you!
