The fall is finally here

Steve Madden Faux Fur Vest

Fall is here and we have to settle on the fact that our sunny beach days are being replaced with rainy and windy reality. It doesn't have to be all sad and gray though. Autumn is a beautiful time of the year with orange leaves, crisp air, time when sipping hot chocolate seems to be more appropriate and when fireplaces are starting to light up again. And just like seasons of the year change their palette, it's good for us to update our looks.

It's even more important to look great this time of the year as it helps all of us to deal with the transition from the beautiful summer days to winter cold. And then think about it, don't you smile every time when you see a stylish-looking-feeling-good-about-themselves person walking down the street? (Well, it makes me smile at least). Clothes, especially a right choice of clothes, are supposed to make us feel great about ourselves, so let's take advantage of this opportunity to give our self-esteem a little boost. One of my favorite items this fall is a fur vest, you probably have seen them everywhere by now, in different shapes and colors. Well, I have one for you that I found in Macy's for $71.25. It's a great thing to own this season as you can wear it with pretty much anything, with belt and without. For more fitted look I prefer to add a belt, otherwise just  throw it on top of any sweater or turtleneck.

The next dress ($39.90) that I love looks casual but at the same time it is stylish and dressy thanks to the black color. Belt adds to the trendy look as well. Throw the fur vest (above) on top, add earrings and a long necklace and you are ready for a fabulous night out! You can wear it with swede boots to a Sunday brunch with your honey too.

Fall is also a good time for buying great summer stuff on sale. There is nothing wrong with thinking about next summer, right? Just make sure not to get something that was in style this year and possibly won't be as popular next year. One of the summer things I just came across is Michael Kors top ($69.50). It's a classic top that you can probably wear for years. Made of a very light, silky fabric, this top is great for the hot summer weather and still can be worn in September-October with a blazer of pant suit. It comes in purple, black, white, green and orange so you can find one for your taste and wear it to the office and a bar.

Pair it with the blazer (right) for a romantic touch and you are ready for a casual dinner. Everybody is usually afraid of wearing light colors in fall and winter but you shouldn't. Especially this cream-colored cotton (50%) sweater ($39.90) which is both cosy and classy. White can make your look brighter and more noticeable which is always a good thing.
Over air-conditioned office is one of the places it can be useful in; Thanksgiving dinner would be another.

Ok, gotta go. Good luck shopping and don't forget to print out your 20%-off coupon before you head to Macy's!
