Fall outfits in a warm October

Happy end to October, everyone!  I thought I would review my strategy this pass month for Fall outfits in a warm October.

The weather has not been fall-fun, but as a write this cooler breezes are blowing.

I hope they stick around for awhile…Right now, November promises to be more fall-like.

I think the brand I have worn the most in my fall outfits in a warm October would be J.Jill.

I particularly liked the Soft Luxe Utility Popover Top which I purchased in the nutmeg color.

And the COTTON GAUZE FRINGE JACKET  is perfect for warmer fall outfits.

One of the garments I have worn the most is the WEAREVER SLUB-KNIT POLO TOP,  in brown…I have it on in the first picture.

Sadly, it is sold out…but if you see this top return, I highly recommend it.

It looks nice under my jackets like my older Talbots field jacket.

So, join me as I discuss what my strategy was for fall outfits in a warm October.

FALL OUTFITS IN A WARM OCTOBER: LAYER

My new home, Abilene, is cooler than my old home, San Antonio…but everyone said this was the warmest October in a long time.

In fact, weather stations called it HOT-TOBER.

Layering is a key factor.  There were days that I had the J.Jill short sleeved tee on under a third piece and by the end of the day just wore the tee.

I like layering with pieces that will stand alone on their own.

the majority of my fall outfits for a warm October includes three pieces.

My  Chicos jeans, a short sleeve tee or tank, and a light third piece on top.

Here I am wearing a past purchase of a light knit blazer from Banana Republic Factory

And the majority of my fall outfits have been styled with different selections of footwear from Easy Spirit

It was important to me (mainly because of my autumn palette) to wear autumn colors though many days felt like summer.

This is one of the reasons I have purchase early fall garments in my colors that are in lighter fabrics than collections coming out now.

FALL OUTFITS IN A WARM OCTOBER: ACCESSORIES

This is an outfit I wore to church one Sunday.

You know I do like the CHICO’S RUCHED SLEEVE BLAZERS and so glad I picked up this one last year in a color perfect for fall outfits.

I wore it over a column of navy in CHICO’S TRAVELERS.

The way I added my creative touch to this was with the sustainable accessories at World’s Finds.

I hope you will read ABOUT WORLD’S FINDS, and join me in supporting this woman owned brand…plus, they make beautiful accessories.

I am wearing a double strand of the Kantha Garland Necklace…which has been a favorite of mine for a long time.

Their accessories are also great gifts and worth keeping in mind as we enter “gift time.”

I wear their accessories for color, but I am also drawn to the new Desertscape Collection.

Fun accessories can even may hot-tober fun!

I am really excited to pull out some different clothing for this week…I plan to wear my new my Pure Jill Oversized VNeck Sweater in a deep terra cotta red called pottery.

I love this sweater and cannot wait to wear it comfortably in the cooler weather.

This has been a crazy week and I remember all the challenges that mothers of young children have…especially the working mothers.  WHEW…lots of work.

Have a safe and wonderful October 31…tomorrow a new month and hope in Texas of finally experiencing some fall….I will see you on SATURDAY with another fashion trend!

STAY STRONG & KEEP SMILING!
