Fall Fashion Favorites

Fall is here!  I am looking forward to the cooler weather and all of the cute clothes in my closet just waiting to be worn.  This is definitely my favorite time of the year, I just hope Florida can’t cool off sooner than later!

I want to share my favorite fall fashion trends to help you dress your best for the new season.
1. Wine Red – I love this color (I might be biased because of my Seminoles haha) and you can find every piece of clothing in it…tops, jeans, hats, scarves, you name it.  It’s a bold color and makes a statement!
Hat (mine is from LOFT, similar one here)
Dress
Necklace (mine is from Target, similar one here)
2.  Olive Green – Another great fall color!  It can mix well with other patterns, like leopard print.
Top
Jeans
Booties
3.  Plaid – A cozy plaid top or a big blanket scarf; it is a staple for your fall wardrobe.
Top (Similar color here)


4.  Lace Dresses – There are a lot of great dresses out there with fun lace details and cutouts!  Find something that fits your style and have some fun.
Dress (Mine is by Bailey Blue, similar one here)


5.  Fringe Details – How cute are these fringe booties?!  I love this detail!  You can find fringe on handbags, vests, and dresses too.
Boots
6.  Chokers – Did you wear chokers in the 90’s?  Well, they’re back!  I love the faux suede or faux leather self-tie chokers.  Fun fall accessory!
Necklace (Mine is from Francesca’s, similar one here)
Tee (This is from a subscription serrvice, but other graphic tees can be found here)
Jeans (Mine came in a Stitch Fix box, but similar pair is here)


7. Cargo Vests – Fun piece to pair with a top and jeans, but it also works well with a dress.
Vest (Mine is by FATE, similar one here)
Dress (Mine is by GLAM, similar one here)
Wedges (Mine are Mossimo, similar ones here)


P. S.  These are the no show (an no slip!) socks that I wear with all of my booties.  They are the BEST!

What are you looking forward to for fall?

Top 5 Tips for a Stitch Fix Box You Love!

Tips for a Stitch Fix Box You'll Love

I’ve blogged about using Stitch Fix before (check it out here), and I continue to use this styling service depending on events or trips coming up in my schedule and if it fits into my budget at the time.

I want to share my TOP 5 TIPS to help you get a Fix that you LOVE!

Stitch Fix Box
#1. Take the time to fill out your style profile and be very specific.
When you first sign up, you will complete a style profile with multiple questions to determine your sizing, style, preferences, pricing, etc.  You can choose if you only want to receive tops and dresses, or if you do not want them to send you handbags, or if you don’t want any stripes.  This can be updated as your needs or preferences change.  I usually double check mine about a week before I have a scheduled fix just to see if I want to make any adjustments.

Stitch Fix Style Profile
#2. The note to the stylist is really important.
You will be able to write a note to your stylist for every fix.  Give your stylist a lot of information to work with.  If you schedule a fix for a trip (make sure you allow enough time for the Fix to arrive before you leave, the date you choose is a window and not an exact delivery date!) you can include where you are going, what you will be doing while you’re there, the  weather, what types of pieces you need, etc.  The more they know, the better your box will be!

#3. Create a Pinterest board specifically for your stylist (link it in your style profile) and edit it for each Fix.

It’s fine if you have general style boards on Pinterest, but I suggest having one JUST for your stylist to look at when styling your Fix.  You are able to add more notes in the description of the board and can update it each time.  Don’t pin too many pins, stick to about 25 so it’s easy for them to look at and work from.  I pin Stitch Fix items and also pictures of a certain style I like.  Edit the descriptions to say why you like something so they can find something similar for you.  You can view my Pinterest board for my stylist here: https://www.pinterest.com/slg09/fashion-stitch-fix-stylist/.  (I also have a Pinterest board of items I’ve kept from Stitch Fix if you want to get an idea of what is available: https://www.pinterest.com/slg09/fashion-my-stitch-fix-closet/.)
Stitch Fix Pinterest ClosetStitch Fix Pinterest Stylist
4. Realize this is a service to try new items and styles and you are not handpicking items to receive.
SOMETIMES if you pin an item from Stitch Fix or ask for something by name in your note, your stylist may be able to send it to you.  It depends on inventory available and your sizes.  You cannot rely on this though, and you also cannot get upset you didn’t receive 5 items from your board.  That’s not how this service works.  If you’re looking for a specific piece, I would recommend just shopping online or in a store.  You may also not love all 5 of the items you receive (but if you do, you save 25%!) and that’s okay.  Even keeping 1 or 2 pieces is worth it!
Stitch Fix Nashville
#5. Leave detailed feedback when checking out.
When you checkout, there are a few choices to give your feedback on an item and also a space to write any comments.  Use this space to talk about the way an item fit or the style.  I have requested to keep my stylist for several fixes and she now knows if something runs really loose I will most likely need an extra small instead of my normal size small.  It’s a process that takes some tweaking to get right, and everywhere you have a chance to write out your feedback is helpful for the next time!
                      Stitch Fix CheckoutStitch Fix Feedback 
I personally LOVE this service, but it’s not for everyone.  I love getting pieces that I might not have picked for myself and then falling in love when I try it on.  It’s also nice to get pieces that are unique and you don’t see EVERYONE wearing when you’re out running errands or attending an event.  If you want to give it a try, CLICK HERE to start your style profile!
I’m happy to answer any other questions you might have or help in any way.

6 Ways to Wear a Scarf

This article may contain affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission if you make a purchase.

Scarf weather is almost here!

I wanted to share with you 6 different ways to wear 1 scarf so you can get even more wear out of it.

 
The first way is the traditional way, wrapped around the neck with the ends hanging down in front.

The second is the loop.  Fold the scarf in half behind the neck and pull the ends through the loop.

The third way is a simple knot made in the front.

For the fourth, I made a regular scarf an infinity scarf by knotting the ends together behind the neck.

Then the fifth way is done by keeping the scarf as an infinity scarf and doubling it up.

The last way, I tied a bow on the side.

How do you wear your scarves?  I love new ideas!  Post yours in the comments 🙂

eShakti Florence Dress Fall Boots www.shannongillilan.blogspot.com

It’s officially FALL, but here in Florida the temperatures are still a little warm.  I’m hoping in the next few weeks, it will start to cool down.  I love fall fashion.  Cozy sweaters, boots, scarves…I’m ready for you!

eShakti Florence Dress Fall Boots www.shannongillilan.blogspot.com
A dress with a pair boots is one of my go-to outfits.  So easy!  This dress is the perfect color for fall, the burnt orange reminds me of fall leaves.  The dress fits perfectly and I love the side pockets.  I paired it with a pair of booties for the perfect fall look.  Who doesn’t love a little lace?

How To: Arm Party!

This article may contain affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission if you make a purchase.

How To Arm Party www.shannongillilan.blogspot.com

Do you know about Arm Parties?  I LOVE this trend!  It’s all about stacking bracelets…so cute!

So, how do you make your own arm party?

I have some bracelets I wear pretty much every day.  Then I mix in others to go with my outfit for the day.  I have some gold and some silver bracelets too.  I typically wear one or the other, but once in a while I’ll mix them together.

How To Arm Party Stella and Dot Bourbon and Boweties www.shannongillilan.blogspot.com

Some of my favorite brands:  Bourbon & Boweties, Kate Spade, Stella & Dot, Alex and Ani

I travel a lot and I also like to look for a bracelet to add in from different places I’ve visited.  Eventually you’ll build stacks and it makes it even better if your bracelets can tell a story!

Show me your arm parties!!  Do you have any other brands I should check out?  I’d love to hear from you!
