Ageless Style is a monthly style challenge and link up for women of all ages. Each month we pick a different theme and style an outfit based on that theme. This month's theme is "Fall Colors" and was picked by Jennifer!
Everyone always says "Fall is my favorite time of year", for me, it's my third favorite season. Don't get me wrong, I love fall, but I always find it so bittersweet because I hate to see summer end and I know in just a few short weeks, I am going to be freezing my butt off in a Wisconsin winter and worrying about my family driving in the snow. All that said, I do love the things everyone else does about fall (minus football) especially the FALL COLOR! Taking fall drives and hikes are my favorite fall activity for I love to see fall foliage.
In the fall, I like to start transitioning my clothes from the bright colors of summer to the earthy tones of fall. There are so many options of fall color one can choose from to meet any comfort zone. You can go with jewel tones like burgundy, rust, eggplant, or mustard yellow, or you can wear more neutral tones like what I am wearing in this post.
My dress was actually purchased in the spring at Daily Thread, but it is still available on-line on clearance in limited sizes. Even though this dress was designed for spring/summer it actually makes a great fall dress, especially now when it is still hot, because it has flecks of brown in the print. I simply wore a brown shirt jacket over it to bring out the brown in the dress.
My shirt jacket is also new this season. I purchased it a small business is Eau Claire. I really love it and wore it a lot as a jacket when we were on vacation. It's more of a shirt than a jacket, but the material is a little stiff and thick for my comfort zone to be worn as a shirt. I sized up to a large, so I could wear it comfortably as a jacket. I just love the faded brown color.
If you're wondering where all these gorgeous photos were taken, we just got back from a fall trip to Branson, Missouri. The photos were taken at Top of the Rock and The College of the Ozarks. I will blogging about our trip soon.
As the day warmed up, I removed the jacket: layers are a must in the fall! Here's what the dress looks like without the jacket.
Because it's still so hot, especially in the afternoon, I wore sandals and a straw hat. But as the weather cools, this look could be even more fall-like by switching out the sandals for boots or booties, perhaps even add some tights, and exchanging the straw hat for a felt one.
I always carry a cross body when traveling and this neutral one from Amazon was my go-to bag. I love the texture and neutral colors. It is perfect for fall. I got it about a year ago, and I can't seem to find it on Amazon now but there are a lot of similar ones on their site.
So what about you? Do you love fall and fall colors? What are your favorite activities to do in the fall? I'd love to hear from you.
Now be sure to check out how the other ladies in the group are styling their fall colors and link up with us as well.
Have A Great Day! Amy

I couldn't agree more. Thanks so much.
DeleteI absolutely love fall! I think it is so interesting how where we live influences which seasons we like best! I love your shirt jacket: it's the perfect layering piece! This is one cute fall outfit and I really like how it works for the warm to cool weather.

Yes, I've noticed southern people seem to yearn for fall the most. Thanks so much!
DeleteThat is such a pretty outfit and that waterfall makes a beautiful background! I love hiking in fall the most of all the seasons since I don't have to worry nearly as much about bugs (though late fall can be tricky with all those downed leaves making the trails/rocks slippery).
ReplyDeleteThank you. Hiking in the fall can be tricky too cause it's so easy to lose the trail. One time my husband and I got lost in the forest because believe it or not the trail markers were on the ground instead of above and the leaves covered the trail.
DeleteWell, first, you look radiant! I love Branson. My mother lives close by. Lucky her!
ReplyDeleteI love a piece that you can use in multiple seasons like your dress and add things to make it more for the current season! I WANT that jacket! lol!
I love to hike! I am huge hiker fanatic! In the fall that is a huge part of my life. I love fall colors but I truly enjoy all seasons.
Thank you. Your mother is lucky. There is so much to see and do in that area. I'd be going to Sight & Sound all the time.
DeleteI just love how that jacket totally changes the look of that dress. It's fabulous!

Me too! I am so lucky to have found this jacket. I just love it!
DeleteWow! You have captured the spirit of the fall season with this beautiful outfit!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteThis is a lovely dress that could almost be three seasons with some extra layers. Your background is beautiful!

Definitely. Thanks so much!
DeleteThough I love Fall I can totally relate to worrying about family members out there in bad weather.
ReplyDeleteI love your hat!
I do love fall, I just hate to see summer end and winter coming. Thanks so much!
