Hello, Fall!

Fall Fashion Essentials / Video

I've been really enjoying making videos recently. So, today I thought I'd share my top ten fall fashion essentials! I'll be back next week with more outfit posts. I don't have too much to say today as most of it is in the video!

Transitioning Your Summer Clothes for Fall

I just got back from the best four-day weekend in Laramie, Wyoming. More on that later but guys - I love that town and the people so much. 

Old Ways

When I was younger, I had a laptop through school that had photoshop on it. When I came home from school I would spend HOURS creating little graphics and photo collages. I didn't know graphic design was even an art form back then but I guess that's what I was doing. Despite graduating with an art degree in college, I never took an classes on photo editing software except a graphic design class that (to be honest) was a complete waste! 

But along with making little graphics and collages, I loved using the selective color tool and changing up the colors of my photographs. So, I decided to try that with these photos. I took them on a pretty cloudy, dull morning so I thought I'd spice them up with some color correction! 

I color corrected this photos because it was sooo overcast when I went out to shoot! But I have been trying to find some new locations to visit. It was also so humid so my hair is a mess! 

I've noticed recently in my town that they have these little mini parks throughout various neighborhoods. They're registered as parks on the Parks and Rec website but then when I visit them I feel a bit disappointed. They're really small so not many places to take photos (I thought) until I realized they are pretty empty! They are surrounded by houses but not many people are ever in the actual parks themselves, which I find a bit strange. 

This particular park is right by where I live so it's a pretty easy walk in the early mornings when I like to shoot photos. I'm sure my neighbors think I'm a bit strange prancing around with a tripod in the early morning but ah, well! 

I'm planning on coming back here this weekend when the sun is rising so I'm excited for that. 

Dress: Thrifted (Basically the same) 

Scarf: Gift 

Shoes: Target 

Have you ever tried color-correcting your photos?

Bring on Autumn

Camel Cardigan

I have never been into brown that much until recently. Camel is becoming huge this season and now I think I understand why. I seem to be reaching for it a lot more - plus I've got a couple of brown loafers that I love to pull out when it hits fall time. 

Vintage Skirt, Denim Shirt

It is sadly still not as chilly as I'd like to be in the South. I can still get by wearing a skirt without tights and I hardly needed this denim button up as a jacket. I'm getting pretty tired of it. But alas, here is one of my favorite outfits for fall featuring my most beloved vintage skirt. 

Windowpane Printed Shirt

It's no secret that I am obsessed with the Windowpane print that is so popular right now. I showcased a dress I picked up recently last week and now I'm back with an adorable shirt version! (I am obsessed OKAY?)

How to: Florals for Fall

 In case you didn't know - I'm from the East Coast in the United States. And because of some very serious hurricanes coming through It's been raining here every single day for the past week! Today was the first time I've been able to take outfit posts for this week! And the weather hasn't even been that great for taking photos - overcast. A photographers worst nightmare. Ahh so behind! But anyways - the outfit. 

Floral isn't really a print people associate with Autumn/Winter. But I love wearing florals all year round. Some of my favorite prints are ones with black undertones, which I think go perfectly for fall. They aren't too bright but they still appeal to my floral needs in my wardrobe. 

Army Green

Green is by far my favorite color. However, I don't own a whole lot of it in regards to clothes. (Now if you saw my room it would be a different story!) I don't know why that is though. But since it is finally fall I decided to whip out some army green for the changing seasons. If only the weather would listen - it is still boiling in the South! I'm over it.

Anyways - the outfit. 

The Denim Jacket

Hello!

I don't know why but I am on such a roll with blogging! I am trying to post every other day to everyday and I think I'm doing pretty well so far! This type of photography is so different than the fine art photography I got my degree in and was trained for but I am enjoying it! (Especially with my beautiful new lens!) But I'd be interested in how often my readers would like posts? Let me know if you have an opinion on the matter!

Anyways - I'm back with a new outfit post (surprise, surprise). And it finally felt like fall when I was shooting these so I figured I'd bring out my favorite denim jacket.

I'm sure you'll see this denim jacket in a lot of other posts this A/W but it is just so versatile! I picked mine up from Old Navy probably two years ago but I know you can find them anywhere. I love mine for fall because it's a darker wash but it can still go with black skinny jeans or a even a very dark wash. Today, I paired it with a maroon skater skirt from H&M that I picked up in the sale last summer for 7$! (You'll definitely be seeing it a lot this A/W a lot too...) It's definitely one of my favorite skirts. 

As for my shirt, I paired it with a grid printed tank-top I thrifted this summer (orginally from Target.) I loved how the top and the skirt went together but the shirt poofed out a little, which I partially why I added the jacket. I also added a necklace I thrifted this summer for 4$! I got my black booties from Nordstrom last fall (Children's size...) but I'm sure they have a similar variation for this fall! Such a classic piece.

But probably my favorite part of the outfit - the hat! It's a felt hat with stunning floral detailing and once the weather starts to get cooler I can't stop wearing it! I received it as a gift but it was originally from Nordstrom. I also wore the same ring in my last post. 

I've got a lot of great posts coming your way this week so make sure to subscribe!

TOPSHOP Paisley Pants

Hello! 

It's been a few days since I posted my last outfit post so here is a new one! With this look I wanted to focus on these Paisley printed trousers I got from Topshop a few weeks ago in the sale section for only 15 dollars! I got the petite size and they fit me perfectly! I normally need to get pants hemmed but not these. They're a really comfortable cigarette fit, which I haven't really tried before.

I wanted the rest of my outfit to be pretty simple so I just added this black muscle tee I thrifted this summer and my classic black flats. I just think the plants speak for themselves! I also added a bolo tie like necklace I got at an estate sale. I've  been trying to find the perfect outfit to wear it with and I think it adds just the perfect amount of something. (ignore my chipped nails!) 

It's still so hot where I am but this outfit would transition great for the colder months. The trousers are pretty thick so they'd keep me warm. I could replace the tank with a long sleeve top and sweater and be perfect for fall! 

I've also been working on some new fall make-up looks and I am loving this warm toned look! There will be a youtube tutorial up later this week that I am really excited to post so stay tuned for that! 

I hope you enjoyed this post!
