Hi, I’m Rachel and I blog at A Blonde’s Moment. I thought I should re-introduce myself since my posting schedule hasn’t been too consistent lately! I’ve been a little MIA lately with this move.But, we are getting closer and closer to the move-in date and hopefully our schedules will be back to normal soon. I will be giving a move update later, but for now, let’s talk about three of my favorite basic pieces: chambray, stripes and leopard.
red: colorblock sweater | flower earrings | crossbody bag
mad for plaid: dress | skirt | pants
prairie dresses: dark floral | high neckline | smocked dress
animal print: scarf | shirt | slingback shoes
The last couple weeks, I’ve been reviewing a few of my favorite trends for the upcoming season. From colors to prints, there is a lot to look forward to this fall. Today, I am highlighting four of fall’s biggest trends and sharing some outfit inspiration that is all under $100. From the color red to plaid to prairie dress and animal print, here are the best fall trends under $100.
cap sleeve dress | sunglasses | animal print mules | earrings | midi skirt | lace dress | magenta small shoulder bag | animal print shirtdress | utility shirt | leopard tote | pointy toe loafer
I honestly don’t think I can think of a better color and pattern combination! After sharing one of fall’s hottest color trends last week (you can see the post here), I am back today with another fall trend. This time, it’s two trends for fall: a color and pattern. Here is my favorite inspiration for another round up of fall trends: magenta and animal print.
This spring, I have been sticking to a lot of basics. Blame it on the crazy weather, but I haven’t bought too many spring pieces because I really haven’t had a chance to wear them! Keeping with classic pieces like my go-to jeans, long cardigan and white shirt are a great way to create an easy black and white outfit for spring.
A classic chambray shirt. It’s one of my favorite tops to wear in the spring, but what about the winter? I was looking at my spring clothes the other day (desperately looking forward to wearing them soon!) and figured it wasn’t too early to start incorporating spring into my outfits. Today I am talking about how to wear chambray in winter.
I have always been a fan of turtlenecks. Whether they are sweaters or shirts, my closet is filled with them. I know that some people are not fans, and in some cases, I can see why. Depending on the turtleneck, it can feel constraining. Enter the mockneck. While it does not feel nearly as constraining as a turtleneck and gives you a similar affect with a higher neckline.
Although the temperatures have warmed up here in Northern Virginia, it was absolutely freezing here last weekend. The temperature on my car read -2! I had never seen a negative number on my car before. I obviously had to take a picture to document it! Regardless, I had been searching for a warm coat since the fall. Appropriately named “the perfect winter parka”, this coat is cute, warm and is even lined with blush pink!
Happy Monday, friends! Can you believe it’s Thanksgiving week? Before the craziness of Thanksgiving and holiday sales begin, I wanted to share one more non-holiday post with you. Although this vest could be styled for the holidays and the rest of winter, I am sticking with fall accessories one last time. I have always loved vests for an extra layer in the fall and winter (like the monogrammed vest from this post and the cropped faux fur vest from this post), but this faux fur leopard vest was too good to pass on when I saw it in stores a few months ago.
Oh, leopard. The perfect neutral. If you have been following along for awhile now, you probably have noticed my leopard obsession. From dresses to accessories, it’s my go-to neutral print. I thought that since I wear a lot of leopard on here, it was time to talk about how to wear leopard and incorporate it into your wardrobe. Especially since leopard is bigger than ever this fall! Whether you are just looking for a hint of leopard with accessories or to make a statement with a dress, this post will have you covered.
The moto jacket is a great fall layer. I have a few and reach for them all the time, especially when it comes to my workwear. Like so many pieces that I wear, I love that the style can be dressed up with a dress or down with jeans. It’s super versatile! A few weeks ago, I was browsing Old Navy’s website when I spotted this burgundy suede moto jacket. I instantly knew I needed it in my fall wardrobe!
