I'm being pretty dramatic, but I have self-diagnosed myself with a little thing called SAD - Seasonal Affective Disorder. It's real. Look it up. "It's worth a Google." (name that movie)
I'll get over it once this silly storm from the Pacific that has kept normally-dry Lubbock cloudy and wet for going on two weeks now passes. I'm just solar-powered and missing my sunshine. While I could live in sundresses and cut off denim shorts year-round, the only thing giving me any hope this time of year is thinking about how I can switch up my wardrobe to *cope* with the cooler weather.
I have narrowed it down to the few basic pieces that I use to mix up my outfits throughout the cooler months. Layers are my best friend and my worst enemy. Being only 5'1, too many layers can make me look like a Teletubby real fast! (Fur vests, I'm looking at you!) But being as hot natured as I am, I like bundling up in the morning and then having the option to strip down later. You will never catch me in a big thick sweater!!
I made a Fall inspiration board to help hone in the items already in my closet and how to pair them. I know I can pretty much grab any two of these items and throw it together for a fun and effortless fall outfit that can be made appropriate for work or going out with a few simple tweaks.
Start with one of these: bold graphic tee, denim button down or plaid button down.
Add: leather jacket or vest, fur vest, denim jacket or vest, military style or camo jacket, fringe vest or jacket.
Complete the look with: badass boots, holy bootcut jeans or colored or black skinny jeans and a crap ton of mixed jewelry (bling + turquoise).
