Fall Fashion has never been easier to wear! Try these new easy to wear fall fashion must haves.
Hi friends! Happy Fashion Friday!
Now that we are officially past Labor Day, I've accepted that fall fashion must haves are just around the corner. It's been pretty warm in Asheville, but it's supposed to be cooler this weekend. I'm still not rushing to put away my sundresses just yet, but it's only a matter of weeks before the boots come out. Last year we had our first big snow of the year on Halloween!
But I digress... the former weather girl in me always wants to talk about the weather 🙂
Here are my picks of some of the most wearable fall fashion must haves of the season. There are always a lot of crazy trends out there, but I like to focus on the ones I think most of us could pull off! As always I've done my picks, steal & splurge style so there is something for most budgets.
Fall Fashion Must Haves
Plaid
Plaid was just gaining traction last winter and it is here to stay this fall. I feel like some plaids are channeling 90's grunge a little too much, so I like sticking with feminine cuts when you wear this look!
Splurge--->
Steal--->
Tommy Hilfiger Belted Shirt Dress, 59.99 (Sale!)
Target, Mossimo Plaid Button Down, $17.24 (Sale!)
Printed Tights & Leggings
Printed tights were all over the runway this fall season. I love the look and think it adds pizzazz to any business look. If you do wear these to work, just be sure to have an appropriate length skirt to go with them.
Splurge--->
Express, Baroque Lace Sheer Full Tights, $24.90
Steal--->
Target, Merona Printed Tights, $10
Fringe Booties
I'm a boot collector. I absolutely adore boots and they are one thing that gets me through the cold - winter boots with some style. Fringe boots channel the very popular 70's inspired clothing right now and are absolute perfection for fall. I got a pair very similar to these at the Nordstrom sale last month. I've been anxiously awaiting to pull them out. They might be the only thing I'm looking forward to with colder weather!
Splurge--->
Sam Edelman Fringe Booties, $140
Steal--->
American Rag Fringe Bootie, $49.99 (Sale!)
Flare Leg Jeans
It's still perfectly fashionable to wear your skinny jeans, but wider leg flared jeans are also making a big comeback. I have a bit of a hippie heart and have always LOVED this look. I had several pair in college that I wish I would have kept! The high waist is also very popular this season.
Splurge--->
7 For All Mankind, Ginger Flare, $189
Steal--->
American Eagle, High-Rise Boho Artist Flare
Flounce Skirts
Fancy skirts were all across the runway this fall. From car wash skirts to flounce skirts, most skirts had a little bit of fun built into them. I love this look and think it is the perfect way to make business casual more fun. Check out this look of mine from Spring!
Splurge--->
Ralph Lauren, Tiered Flounce Skirt, $115
Steal--->
Calvin Klein Flounce Skirt, $59.99 (Sale!)
So those are some of my top picks for fall! I'm currently in the market for a plaid shirt dress... preferably in pink 🙂 I'll keep you updated on the search!
Have a gorgeous weekend. See you back on Monday for another edition of Currently...
Thanks to Nicole for the Fit and Fashionable linkup! I’m also linking up with Joylynne Shane for Fashion Friday and Turning Heads Tuesday. Also the Friday Five Linkup! and High Five Friday.
Your turn!
What are you looking forward to wearing this fall?
What fall trends are you seeing?
Stacie @ SimplySouthernStacie says
I want all of these! Especially the fringe booties! I think I'll keep my skinny jeans though to better showcase the booties : )
Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes says
Ok, so let's chat. I'm not sure I can wrap myself around the flannel. Too many 90's memories. Love the booties. Don't really like the printed tights, but then again I don't wear tights that often. The flounce skirt, eh. I want to love the flare jeans, but those only look good with heels, and I just can't get my feet in a pair of heels anymore, let alone have the occasion to wear them. Wow, I just poo poo'd almost everything. I'm sorry, what a debbie downer! I know if would look AMAZING on you though! 🙂 xoxox
JulieWunder says
Oh Sue! You did make me laugh though 🙂 We'll go to lunch and go buy you some booties and call it a day 🙂
Farrah says
I adore plaid shirt dresses! 😀 They're super cute! (But they tend to also be crazy expensive, so one of these days, I'm going to attempt to reconstruct a giant men's shirt into one, heh heh heh...) I love the leggings too! :]!
Debbie@debbiethisandthat.blogspot.com says
Love all these looks, except I don't think I could pull off the printed tights! So glad that jeans are going back to being waist high. I was never a fan of the low-rise jeans movement!
JulieWunder says
They are so hard to wear too!!! High waist is pretty flattering!
Jess @hellotofit says
Isn't it crazy that flared jeans are back?! I'm still loving my skinnies, but will probably gravitate towards flare as more people get 'em ;). And YAY for booties! Wore a pair today for lunch.
JulieWunder says
Totally! Seems like I just got used to the skinny pants! I'm still protesting boots-- but it's close! It was in the 40s this morning!
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
I love those fringe booties! Am I too old to wear them? LOL!
JulieWunder says
No, you are not too old!!!! Just go a little less trendy on the rest of the outfit!
Angela @ happy fit mama says
I love the look of the fringe booties but I'm not sure I could pull it off. And the skirts are too cute! thanks for linking up!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Angela! I'm sure you could! It's a cute look. Thanks for stopping by today!
Emily Smith says
Too funny. I managed to avoid the skinny jeans trend completely by living south of the border (where jeans are just too darn hot). All my boot-cut and flare jeans are packed away at my mother's home. Good to know I'll actually not be terribly out of style when I wear them in the US...though the fact that they are lower-rise will probably give me away as hopelessly out of date!
JulieWunder says
Now that's my dream! Never to have to wear pants again! Just wear a longer shirt over them and no one will know 🙂
Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner says
Fall fashion is fun! I was eyeing some cute shoe booties the other day. I need to get on that
JulieWunder says
Totally! SOunds like a weekend project to me!
Annmarie says
I like the look of plaid if it is done right. Problem is, where I live plaid isn't trendy, it's a way of life! haha!
JulieWunder says
Haaaaaa!!!!!!! If you get anywhere out of Asheville proper... it' the same way here 🙂
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
I already have some patterned tights! I feel so ahead of the curve haha. I actually have some lace tights in purple that I wear over solid black tights so you get a cool double color effect. So excited for Fall!
JulieWunder says
That's kind of genius :-)))) Totally going to steal that!
lacey@fairytalesandfitness says
I do like those boots. That's one good think about fall. Good by flip flop season means not having to show off our yucky runners feet anymore:)
JulieWunder says
haha! Very true! I do not have cute feet!
Heather @Fit n Cookies says
I don't know if I can get back into the flare jean fashion, haha. I did just buy a plaid tunic to wear after the baby with leggings. I do want to buy some cute leggings, too.
JulieWunder says
I think it's going to be awhile before they take back over! Skinnies are so popular!
Heather@hungryforbalance says
Love the splurge and steal idea! I LOVE that plaid shirt dress!
JulieWunder says
I think I need it 🙂 Happy weekend!
Blane Sherer says
I like your steal and splurge technique. That is a nice way to show a broad
appeal. I always appreciate your weather girl comments ( smile ).
The Mountain State Fair begins this weekend. Do you enjoy the fair ?
JulieWunder says
Thanks!! I'm not a huge fan of crowds, so I'll probably skip it this year! But you never know!
Tamieka@ Fitballingrunningmom says
Plaid I can get with and the flutter skirts for sure.
The other styles-not sure....I do love long boots not too sure of the booties yet.
JulieWunder says
It's definitely harder to style than tall boots, but it's a cute look when you get the hang of it! Thanks for stopping by today!
Jenn @ Running on Lentils says
Fall clothes are the best! This is a great list. Thanks!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Jenn! It's a fun time!
Marcia says
I've got no plaid or patterned tights here but I loooove the flouncy skirt! Super cute! Yes to boots as well!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Marcia! I have a couple skirts like that and they are my favorites!
Gretchen says
I love this post! I'm glad that your "steals" are things I can actually afford..sometimes people say that spending $150 on a T shirt is a steal, so I appreciate that you're showing such great pieces at great prices. I actually bought that Target plaid shirt and its amazing. So soft and high quality!
JulieWunder says
Yay! In my mind a steal is something you can buy without really feeling bad about! Glad you like the post!
heather says
Sometimes I wish I never got rid of my clothes because I had all these styles before they were cool again. I love jeans and boots. Check out my wish list boots on my blog!!! Thanks for sharing Have a great weekend.

I know!!! Those jeans I had were so cute!!! Heading over now 🙂
Brittany Holtz says
Fall fashion is my favorite Scarves and boots make every outfit better!
JulieWunder says
I agree! I love cute scarfs!
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
Give me plaid. And jeans. I need nothing else.
JulieWunder says
Totally! Such cute looks!
Mary Beth Jackson says
I am not so excited about the flare jeans but I do love some printed tights. I see all the flannel but like you it needs to be feminine, I do not want to look like a redneck! Have a great weekend!
JulieWunder says
hahaaaaa!! Yes, there is a very fine line there that I am not crossing! I'm thinking of you whenever I see flannel now 🙂
