Four Easy Steps To Create A Fall Outfit
Getting dressed in the morning doesn’t have to be hard. In the past, I’ve been known to wear the same outfit throughout the season without switching up the items since they looked good together. But, I quickly got bored of the look and started experimenting for more variety. I’m going to simplify your life by sharing four easy steps to create a fall outfit.
Four Easy Steps To Create A Fall Outfit
You are going to laugh at how simple this formula is and how easy it will be to create your own go-to outfits. Remember, I’m just like you, so don’t expect anything too complicated or fancy.
Step One – Pick The Star Of The Outfit
I usually consider the top to be the star of the outfit. Ocassionally, the star of the outfit will be a blazer/cardigan or a piece of statement jewelry. So, the first thing you need to decide is what is the star of your outfit.
The star of this outfit is the Long Sleeve Cardigan Sweater with Chest Pockets. The gold buttons create a lot of visual interest against the black backdrop of the sweater. I love this cardigan since it can be dressed up or down and worn as a top or open as a cardigan. Sweaters are what I wear most in the fall. There are so many sweaters to pick from, such as turtlenecks, Fairisle, cardigans, oversized, etc., so you are bound to find something you like.
Step Two – Pick The Base
Unless you’re wearing a dress, you’ll need to add a base or bottom piece to your outfit. In the fall, jeans or corduroy pants are my usual go-to base pieces. I love these Flare High Rise Jeans since they fit close to the body above the knee and then flare out. The slight flare helps to balance out your shoulders and your hips and is generally flattering for most women.
Step Three – Accessories
After you pick a star and a base, you need to add accessories to finish the outfit. The most important accessory will be shoes followed closely by a handbag. The Western Slouch Heeled Booties and Faux Leather 4 Poster Handbag pull the outfit together with all the black. The booties add height and elongate your legs, and they work great with the flare leg. The handbag has gold trim which also ties in with the gold buttons on the cardigan.
Step Four – The Icing – Jewelry
I’ve always thought of jewelry as being the icing on the cake. Cake alone is tasty, but adding icing takes it to another level. The same can be said about an outfit. This outfit looked great without the jewelry, but it looks polished and put-together with it. My go-to jewelry for every day is the Colette Large Hoop Earrings, the Lex Chain Bracelet in Gold, and the Michele Watch w/Diamonds.

Love the purse. I just ordered me one.
You broke down the components to dressing, whether for work or play, very well.
I love the cardigans with the pretty buttons. I invested in several light weight cardigans for Spring and Summer. I love the black and gold buttons. Looks very classy!!
I don’t do Halloween. But I do Fall beginning in September and down it comes the day after Thanksgiving. I decorate inside and out. It takes me a couple of days to get it all completed.
I no longer decorate for Halloween. However, when my son was small, I added happy Halloween items to my fall decorating. I’m not into scarey!
My current decorating focus is all about fall. I love the fall colors.
I enjoy your posts!
What cute ghost pillows! The only holiday we decorate for is Christmas, which we will be doing in a few weeks. We live on a private dirt road with only two school aged kids on the road, so there’s really no reason to decorate. Christmas is our very favorite holiday, so it gets a lot of attention. I like your steps for creating an outfit!
Like you I do a little for Halloween but go all out for Christmas
Thanks for making it easier to get out the door!
I love the lady jackets!
