5 Signs It’s Fall

For Texas Fall is slowly but surely starting to creep in-the allergies, the 8-12 degree temperature drop taking us down to beautiful 80 degree days, the pumpkin spice madness and of course the season’s hottest trends are making themselves evident. For those who don’t jump on the hot-trend bandwagon I thought I’d talk today about the Fall classics that are needed every year regardless of new trends.

1. Bold Lips– Fall is a great time to play with deeper, darker hues on your lips. Stocking up on shades of red through plum should get you through to the end of the year. I’m wearing my Fall ’15 favorite lipstick here: Nars ‘True Red’ but I have recently stocked up on a few NYX shades that I’m planning to switch between this season, including Alabama and Stockholm (another favorite)
2. Scarves– Scarves are here to stay ladies, as a matter of fact I don’ think I’ve ever read a story saying to pack away scarves for good. There are a plethora of styles and patterns ensuring something for everyone’s particular style preference. In lieu of the typical blanket scarf that has become the norm I tried folding up one of my square scarves in a simple choker fashion. This is especially a great trick for my ladies blessed with actual Fall temperatures who are wanting to rock a choker as it will give added warmth as well.
3. Floppy Hats– I wear hats year round but my floppy hats get the most use in the fall, that’s just how it is.
4. Ballet Flats– You can’t wear boots or booties every single day. Having a few pairs of flats to mix in will keep your outfits fresh and depending on the style-add a bit of feminine flair. I always make sure to have a nude, black and leopard print style at the start of Fall.
5. Darker Clothing– For me this means black but come Fall your wardrobe should change like the leaves-from vivid bright hues to warm earth tones. Olive, burgundy and rust are some of my other go to shades.
