fall trends

Hello!

As I said a few weeks ago, I was unable to fit in July’s Style Snapshot. But it’s all good, because today, I’m posting the August one, and it is only August 9th! I’m very proud ;) Anyhoo, this month, I decided to try something a little different. Instead of creating a set of items, I thought I would pick eight or so popular trends for autumn. I know many people have started school or have the first day coming up in a few weeks, {like moi} so what’s better than focusing on cute back-to-school clothes?! What made your list for fall?

[1] Cable Knit is HUGE right now. Whether you rock it with a traditional sweater {shown above} or a quirky bag, this will transition nicely into winter. I really like it in soft grays and browns, but I’ve seen some knits in the most AHmazing brights, like yellow, so pick something to fit your personality.

[2] Floral denim is on the rise, and it is a trend that you can wear with practically anything! Treat these like your favorite pair of jeans. If you pick more of a muted floral, it will work with a good chunk of your shirts, but if you go with a bright floral {like the ones as Delia’s} you’ll have more trouble finding a match.

[3] Boots have always been an essential for fall, but, this year, it’s all about the chunky heeled boots. It doesn’t matter the size of the heel, but you should make sure you stick with neutrals. I would totally pair these with everything from jeans to dresses!

[4] Plaid shirts are terrific pieces to own! Well you could wear plaid in the spring, something about it just screams autumn to me :) My only advice is not to go overboard. The simpler you outfit, the better.

[5] I LOVE polka dots! :) So why not take my favorite print and wear it? There’s always sweaters, shirts, skirts, and dresses with the dotted pattern, but I like this little gem from American Eagle. It would jazz up any outfit!

[6] Graphic tees are so fun to pick out. I love to look for funny or quirky sayings that describe me and would make me smile any day. Walk into any clothing store, and you are bound to find at least one, but I have my eyes on Gap’s Threadless tees, especially this “Missing U” one.

[7] Animals, surprisingly, are popping up on shirts and sweaters recently. Of course, they are all adorable! Abercrombie is most famous for its moose, but isn’t this dog with the bow tie so cute? He is one dashing puppy :)

[8] Finally, denim on denim is a trend that I have noticed on Pinterest. I am nowhere near as bold enough to try it, but I’m sure someone has the guts to! Instead, I will just stick with my basic skinny jeans :) It’s all good…

What do you think of the round-up?

Have a lovely evening!
