cozy fall looks

Fall has finally arrived! Even though this summer was not terribly hot here in Chicago, I am still absolutely thrilled to see the temperatures drop into the 40s and 50s. The air is crisp and you can wear lots of cozy layers. Of course, fall fashion comes in so many variations, so today I am compiling some of the styles I like best.

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.

Blazers and light jackets rule supreme during fall because their weight often allows them to act as both outerwear pieces and indoor layering pieces. This is especially helpful when you are running errands and are dashing between the cool weather outdoors and the warmer temperatures of the stores. A thin sweater underneath prevents excess bulk as well as chills from sharp gusts of wind.
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. 

What are your favorites activities to do in fall and what do you wear when you do them? Share your thoughts in the comments!

I was inspired by your post to go looking for a vest. And here is what I found:

The pattern seemed too bold on the hangar, but I loved it when I tried it on with a white and navy striped long-sleeve tee.
