THE DRESSING â—½ TIPS
Fall is Here
by Marcy Lytle
Brown linen – Speaking of chocolate brown, did you know there’s this really cool site called Nature Queen that sells the most beautiful and flowy long duster, jackets, cardigans – not sure what to call them. But I found this brown linen one that looks like fall but it’s light, on those days that are still a bit warm.
The long awaited season in Texas is finally here. It arrived later this year, and it’s so fun to finally step outside and feel the cooler breezes blow. What’s fun to wear for fall, you might ask. Well, lots of things, and here are a few of my absolute favorites!
​
​Mixed prints – Maybe you too have a jacket, a blouse and a scarf just in your stash of clothing that’s screaming to be paired together! This jacket is old, so is the blouse, and the scarf is a bit new. And who knew they’d look so good worn as a trio? See what you can find in your present wardrobe, to mix and match.
​
That pop of red – I found this red bag at Marshalls back in the summer and saved it for wearing this fall, especially with the chocolate brown that’s popular this season. In fact, red just pops with most every neutral outfit or all the colors of all.
​
Burgundy, yes – I found a pretty pair of pants in the burgundy color family and snatched them, at the end of summer. Denim pairs so well with this shade for fall, as well as so many other colors too! I bet you have many tops that would go well with burgundy bottoms, just hanging in your closet!
A new bag, maybe? – I just discovered Quince (a great resource for great clothing!) and their bags. This neutral bag is another alternative for a really nice purse this fall. Against all the dark hues you might choose to wear, it’s the most elegant accompaniment, don’t you think? Check out their selection of the most beautiful purses, and use my code to save
A button-up cardi – It’s a classic, for sure, and they’re probably the easiest thing to find in every store. I chose a neutral one for layering, and it’s the coziest fabric ever. It just speaks fall, and I love it most of all. I think I found it at one of the discount stores like Marshalls or Ross. And I love the big buttons, too!
That black jacket – Maybe it’s old, maybe you want one, but I bet you have one! Bring it into this season by pairing it with brown and blue! Such a great combo and even holiday-worthy, I think. I chose a brown button up underneath and blue in the scarf. I love this ensemble for November!
One last bag – A brown leather crossbody – it’s been a staple this season for me. I found it at Marshalls. I don’t want to pay hundreds for a leather bag, so I look at the discount stores for one. This one I love, so very much. It’s unique, holds plenty, and is great for every day or dressed up, too, for all the holiday events coming up!
