Back to Fall

Hello again from Northeast Ohio! After a string of warm weather days earlier this month (temperatures soared as high as 89 degrees), the chilly air is finally here and so is fall. And to us Ohioans, that means apples, pumpkins, beautiful fall foliage and Halloween candy and decorations. It’s also that time of year when I start packing away my summer things (goodbye sun dresses, sandals and straw bags) and start pulling out my favorite fall items: blanket scarves, tall boots and booties, chunky knit sweaters, blazers, and all things plaid and animal print. I especially love the color combination of black and white with large pops of bright red.

With that in mind, my good friend and colleague, Elle, from Abbey and Elle Upstairs Fashion and Design and I each did a quick photo shoot of an outfit that incorporates our fall fashion favorites. Here’s a pic from her blog post, which you can read here. She’s a thrifter like me, so her outfit incorporates new with resale items.

For my outfit, I wore an oversized black sweater from H&M and a plaid skirt from Forever 21. The scarf, purse, ring and earings were purchased from resale shops in my area.

Because of the warm weather we had earlier this fall, we are still waiting for the leaves to change color. Hopefully Mother Nature graces us with some pretty fall foliage soon. Happy Fall!
