In the fall I find myself gravitating toward cozy fabrics and plaid. I crave cardigans, vests, and flannels.
I have this thing for cream fuzzy cardigans, every time I see one in a store I instantly want to have it. 99% of the time they aren’t flattering one me. So bummed. But I do have success with vests, I love a good vest and this year I finally indulged in the coveted J Crew style vest. I went with a plaid black vest, which initially I didn’t want. I thought that I needed a plain black vest, but a friend urged me to go with a black pattern and I am so glad that I did. Stepping outside of my comfort zone I have really been playing with pattern mixing.
Pattern mixing is so in right now, take a chance and step out of your comfort zone. Try that pattern vest, or jacket!
Here are some outerwear options with a little more sass!
Vest | J Crew, Flannel | Ralph Lauren, Jeans | Torrid, Boots | Ariat, Scarf | Homemade
