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.

I am glad you are not sick and just simply overslept. My Mama is the WORST. The buys an outfit at whatever store, buys it all- as shown on mannequin and hangs it up that way….she wears it on repeat. I need to do a better job of mixing myself.
I agree with your outfit advice. I’m not a big Halloween person. I live in an over 55 community and we don’t get any trick or treaters.
You make it sound and look so simple. I will have to try this. I like your outfit. The jeans look very nice. I like the dark wash and the flare.
So practical and easy to accomplish! Love the outfit! It gives off a “quiet luxury” vibe. I have a similar black sweater……what a great way to style it!
Great advice to choose your top first then go from there. I enjoyed this post and advice.
Great informative post, I always learn something from you! Since you educated me on what a lady jacket is Iast year I love them! I find them very versatile to use with jeans or dress pants!
Great advice. You look so polished and sharp! Have a wonderful day.
I follow your same decorating ideas for Fall. No scary, gory decorations around my home. So, the yard is no different. I decorate my porch with seasonal colors and have a Halloween garden stake in my flower bed.
You make it all sound so easy!! We should all be able to follow these steps.
You look so chic. I love the outfit and accessories. I agree about flare and bootleg jeans being so flattering.
