Sadly packed away my white skirts, white shoes and summery clothes... unpacked my plaid skirts and sweaters...
I love fall, I really do! I love the colors of fall, as well as the weather, but I really do miss my summer clothes. As I packed my clothes up into the big storage tote I keep them in over the winter, I thought I never even wore this skirt this summer! I only wore this skirt once! Sigh... summer is just too short.
I just went through Old Navy's website, and their new fall collection looks pretty good - if you wanna pay their prices... I have a tough time shopping anything but the clearance rack there, because I just feel like they are overpriced. Anyway, they have some great winter trenches that are super cute, as well as some maxi skirts (if you can wear the knit-type skirts), and some super cute shirts.
The best thing about fall is the return of BOOTS! I love my boots! I love shoes of any kind, but boots are just so cozy and cute. The only problems with boots are: I always need another pair, and some of the cutest boots are the most uncomfortable! Well, I don't think I can solve the former, but I think I have come up with a solution to the latter! Check out aldoshoes.com they have super cute boots, and they are supposedly extremely comfortable! (I haven't bought myself a pair YET, but several colleagues have recommended them and raved about how comfy they are).
While you're on the Aldo site, make sure you check out their oxfords. I am a fan of these shoes! They have become so popular, and they are so stinkin' cute! You can find 'em pretty much everywhere, and they look good with a jean skirt or semi-casual professional wear. Wear 'em with tights or no socks, and they look great!
Since we're on the topic of shoes, I am in LOVE with Toms! Check out toms.com Their classic shoe is super cute, but I love the wedge, especially in the corduroy. These shoes are great school shoes for the kids(unless you live in a very wet area - they are NOT waterproof). Very comfy, and they come in a billion colors/designs! Take them to the youth conference when you don't want to change out of your dress clothes for the gym but the dress shoes are murder. Besides, every time you buy a pair, they donate a pair to a child in need. Charity and fashion combined!
Happy Fall!
