Falling For Some Autumn Trends

I guess you could call this, my autumn-summary look. I didn't realize it until I started writing this post, but I was really going all out in the autumn trends for this look. The faux fur, the black, the burgundy wide-brimmed fedora, the dark mani, the knee-high boots.... Admittedly a bit much, even for me. But fashion and making a statement has always synonymous. After the initial shock of the dropping temperatures and wilting flowers, it's time to embrace the brighter side of autumn!

Pumpkin Spice

It's official. Fall is here! How do I know? There's a nip in the air, I had my first caramel apple spice from Starbucks yesterday and Atwater Market is awash with pumpkins. Some are so tiny they could fit in the palm of my hand, Some are so large, I'm pretty sure they weigh more than three of me combined. Oh yeah, and students are cramming for midterms.

But I took a break from the books to stroll through the market recently and collect some small pumpkins for my doorway, an annual October tradition. They sit, waiting patiently for about a week or so before Halloween when I bring them in, carve them out, bake their seeds and display their scary visages for all the neighbourhood kids to see. For this casual fall outing, I donned a polka dot chiffon blouse I picked up when I was in Seoul last year, dark skinny jeans, and vintage vest and boots. Fall never felt so good!
                                                                      

Prairie Rose

I have been known to wear sundresses and floral frocks well into the winter season, and I'm here to tell you that you can too! I'm always surprised when people ask me "aren't you cold?" when I wear dresses in January. But I find that acrylic and wool tights are much warmer than cotton jeans. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Before the snow hits the ground, pair your favourite frocks with fun boots and layer on the accessories. I call this ensemble my "prairie rose" look . . . a little bit retro, a little bit cowgirl. Toss on a braided belt and a felt hat and you're ready to chase the pigeons! I couldn't resist.
