There are so many things to love about this trend for fall. It’s soft and luxe texture makes dressing up an outfit easy. You don’t have to look too far to find the trend these days, but here are a few of my favorite fall velvet pieces.

I have shared my love for crockpot dishes before, but I think we have a new favorite in our house. Now that it is fall, I have been trying to do crockpot dinners at least twice a week. Not only do I love the ease of these recipes, but there is no beating a quick and warm dinner on a cold fall evening. I made this recipe a few weeks ago and have made it twice since. I am officially addicted! After making it for the third time, I think I have finally mastered the combination of ingredients to create the most delicious Loaded Baked Potato Soup!

One accessory that I get excited for each fall and winter is a faux fur vest. I typically incorporate one into my wardrobe each year (this year it was two..oops!). But of all my faux fur vests, this is definitely the most unique. A lighter layer, this faux fur vest is perfect for this time of the year. Although, I see myself wearing this all fall and winter, too.

If I have said it once, I have said it one hundred times, I love a versatile piece that can be worn across the seasons. I first bought this orange swing dress in the spring (you may remember it from this post) and I loved wearing it all spring. Once the temperatures warmed up, I had to put it aside, but was determined to find another way to wear it once the cooler temperatures arrived. We spent the weekend in Pittsburgh a few weekends ago and couldn’t wait to style this spring dress for fall.

Happy Wednesday, friends! One of my favorite types of Wednesday Wishes to share on this little space of mine are splurge vs. save outfits. Although the most challenging, I love finding designer lookalikes for less. The inspiration behind today’s theme is this crazy warm weather.

Without further ado, here is a fall date night outfit: splurge vs. save edition.

I started with the original recipe (here) and have made seasonal changes like peanut butter granola and most recently, carrot cake granola. For fall, I wanted something that really represented the flavors of the season. Caramel Apple Granola sounded fitting.
