Casual Fall OOTD

authenb

In Houston, it always seems like we don’t see real fall sweater weather until late November. Right now it’s hovering around the 60’s most mornings but heats up fairly quickly. This OOTD came about because I am a cold natured person and I needed something light to keep the chill off. The sweater is really sheer and has a loose stretchy quality to it so I never felt too warm or got sweaty when I started to warm up. I’m wearing my black and white chucks because I need comfortable shoes for all the moving around and walking I do through out the day. These can easily be switched out for black ballet flats. Enjoy!

What Is a “Capsule” Wardrobe?

IMG_9219In my previous post New Capsule Wardrobe ,I talked about taking the first steps to starting my first capsule wardrobe. I then realized that if I didn’t know what a capsule wardrobe was until recently, then there are surely many more people who don’t know as well.

A capsule wardrobe can be described as a collection of clothing items (between 30-50 depending on who you ask) that are versatile and can be easily mixed and matched to create new looks. It is suppose to simplify your life when it comes to getting dressed. You should always have the ability to put together an outfit that you will want to wear. If it works for you, it should also rid you of those reoccurring moments of trying to get dressed and having “nothing to wear” ,though you have tons of clothes in your closet.

I think the key to having a successful capsule wardrobe is to be super picky about what you choose to add to your collection. You should LOVE every piece that’s included. It will also help you to focus on acquiring quality items that will last, versus cheaply made clothing that will need to be replaced often.

To get started, first do some research and clean out your closet. A great place to start is Project333. Get rid of things that don’t fit well, are damaged, or that you don’t love anymore. Next ,rebuild your wardrobe with staple pieces to will last because they are well made and classic. Enjoy!

  

Fall OOTD-Brown and Black Together?!?

Here’s a little proof that brown and black mesh well together. I too used to toy with the idea that maybe it was too dark and gloomy to pair black and brown simply because I viewed them both as neutrals. I’ve gotten past those ideas and came up with an outfit using items already in my closet.

What I love about this Fall outfit is in the details. The texture of this top and the ribbing on the knee of the leggings make it interesting. I also broke up the darkness in the top and leggings with a long white tank top.Focus on the small things that create places for your eyes to go.

Fall OOTD-Bold Piece

I LOVE animal prints so when I saw these leopard print pants they immediately caught my attention. They may be a little bold for some folks but they are just right for me. Here is just one way to put together a simple fall outfit using a really bold piece. Add the sweater as it gets cooler outside. Enjoy!
