Colder Weather

Yesterday I posted an inspiration board and said I would hunt for some similar styles...with lower prices. Today I'm back and I've found some pieces that I think fit the bill! I'm also going to try to recreate this look this weekend so you can see how it turns out in real life :)                                                                                  Enjoy!


Jeans   

Jeans: These jeans are from J. Crew. They are a little on the expensive side, but I think it's so important to invest in a pair of jeans you love. I have a pair from J. Crew that I throw on ALL the time - they are comfortable and look good. Jeans are supposed to make you feel good when you put them on...so try to find a pair that does! These are $125, but there is a 25% off promo code at J. Crew if you spend $150 :)

Boot  

Booties: These are my all time FAVORITE boots. I have them in black and brown - and I'm going this weekend to get them in burgundy. They seriously are the most comfortable boot (with a heel) I've ever worn. I'm a teacher so whenever I can stand in a boot with a heel all day I know they are good shoes. These boots are $99 and run a bit small, so get a size up. 

Top   

Shirt: This sweater is from Nordstrom and only $34...what a steal! It's textured which gives it a different look than just a plain sweater. I've also found some really great stuff at Marshalls and TJMaxx by Cynthia Rowley. Every time I go into either of those stores I end up leaving with something from her collection. She hits it out of the park with her everyday shirts and sweaters. I suggest splurging at Marshalls for some Cynthia Rowley (and most shirts run about $16...you cannot beat it!)


Essie nail polish

I love this burgundy Essie color. It's called "Poor Little Rich Girl". I posted about this color in my post here about fall nail polish colors. I love the deep red color and how it fits in so perfectly with this colder weather!
Hat 

I originally posted a black wide brimmed fedora, but let's face it. This burgundy one from Forever 21 is way better. Can you tell I am slightly obsessed with this color for fall? This hat is $16 from Forever and a no brainer for me! I never like to buy expensive hats because they are constantly changing with the trends. 

NARS Satin Lip Pencil
NARS 

As I said before, I don't know what I would do without this little pencil here. They are my favorite lipsticks and they are ridiculously easy to use. I prefer the matte ones to the glossy - the glossy can sometimes run - but the matte pencils are AMAZING! I have four of them and switch it up all the time. This color is a favorite for fall. It's a blend of plum and red. These run about $26 at Sephora. Go check them out and try some on :)

What are you loving during this fall weather? 
Keep warm :)

It's finally starting to get a bit chilly here in the DC area. I've been spending my days in jeans, booties, and comfy shirts. I love this look because it gives an ordinary outfit a polished look. I created this look on Polyvore.com, but I am going to put one together tomorrow featuring items that are much more reasonably priced. For now, it's just inspiration!

Oh! - I swear by those NARS lip pencils! They are my go to for an instant pop of color on my lips and they stay on for hours....they are on my list of favorite products! 

Happy fall!
