One of my favorite fall pieces is the down vest. It is warm as well as comfortable and it shows off your layering pieces. I love to throw on a patterned shirt under a solid colored vest to add some visual interest to an outfit. For the outfit above, I added a teal and pink flannel shirt and picked up those colors in the coordinating pieces. If color mixing is not your strong suit, start with a pattern you like and then use the the accent colors from the pattern for your accessories. | |
However, not every sweater needs a jacket layered over it. For a sunny day, a patterned scarf may be enough to keep you cozy and warm. Fall scarves do not need to be thick or knitted like their winter counterparts. Cotton blends should provide adequate warmth and also come in a wide variety of colors and patterns. | Another easy way to get into the fall spirit is by changing out your accessories. All of these outfits have bags in either brown leather or in a rich jewel tone. The shoes are also in subdued tones. While you don't have to pack up your bright and bold colors with your summer wardrobe, it is nice to embrace the deeper (and just as pretty) autumnal hues.
