ToT: Fall Fashion Trends-Gotta Have it?

This week on ToT we are discussing our favorite fall fashion and home decor trends.  I came up with this topic at the time when all of the fall decor items were popping up in the stores and the weather was getting cooler.  I was so excited to bust out some of my favorite long sleeve tops, scarves and boots. Then I started going through my closet only to find that I had about five of these so called favorite tops.  I think I need a little bit of a wardrobe change.  Hence the motivation for this topic.  So, I'm going to just dive in with some pics of things I think would work well for my wardrobe (and my budget) as a stay at home mom, and also just throw in a few "wants" for my house to decorate for fall. :) I hope you enjoy.



i jeans by Buffalo Owl Pullover Sweater
This sweater is from i jeans by buffalo at JcPenney.

 
I love this sweater because I'm really into wearing leggings right now. (Okay if you are one of my close friends-I know what you are thinking. I am such a hypocrite. I used to make so much fun of people that wore leggings.  I buckled and bought a pair.  They are fabulously comfortable.) I need longer sweaters like these to go with my leggings so I don't feel like my tush is too exposed.


i jeans by Buffalo Corded Blazer

This blazer is the perfect fall color.  It would work with so much in my wardrobe, and looks to be a great weight to keep me warm on a cool fall day.

jcp™ Long-Sleeve Crew-Neck Tee
JCP long sleeved crew neck T.

 
I think this style of shirt is the best for layering. It would also work well on it's own.  I could use a few more of these in colors other than black, white and gray.

jcp™ Long-Sleeve Voile Shirt
Jcp Long Sleeve Voile Shirt at JcPenney
I really like this shirt.  It looks like it would layer well under a sweater or work on it's own with a Cami. It comes in all sorts of prints.


Call It Spring™ Hopes Riding Boots
Call It Spring Hopes Riding Boots at JcPenney
Love these boots.  I have to wear something with a shorter heel when I'm with the kids because I just need that comfort. These look stylish and comfortable. I could see myself wearing these with leggings or jeggings.

Call It Spring™ Majestic Motorcyle Boots

I think the length of these boots make them so versatile. They could be worn with boot cut pants, leggings, or jeggings.  They would also work with a skirt, too.  Once again, I like the low cut heel.

FERGALICIOUS Women's Alana

I really want to get a few pairs of ballet flats that could be dressed up or down. I think the leopard print is pretty popular this season, and I really like these shoes by Fergalicious.  I don't know what they look like in person, but I think it would be worth checking out.

Women's Chambray Shirts
Chambray Shirt from Old Navy
I think this shirt looks so soft. I could definitely see it fitting into my wardrobe.


Rosetti Cross-Body Handbag

Oh cute little cross body bag, oh how I wish I could carry thee.  Sadly, I'm still carrying around diapers, wipes, and a plethora of mommy paraphernalia that would never fit in this cute purse.  It would be a nice bag to carry when I do occasionally go out with out my kiddos.


These are just some of my wants.  As you can see, there is a lot from JCPenny.  I haven't shopped there in a while, but I think I might have to check it out soon.


SONOMA life + style Owl Decor

For home decor this fall, I'm really loving items that you can find at craft fairs.  One of my good friends and I went to a local craft fair this past weekend, and found all sorts of cute and creative items to decorate for all.  They were at fantastic prices, too.  I feel like I really need to assess what I have before I pack it away before Christmas, and weed out some of the things that are broken or just plain ugly. Most of the stuff I have is from when we first got married. I think it's time to update the fall and Halloween decor.  Right now, I love all things owl.  I've always kind of had a thing for owls, and right now they are super popular.  I don't want to over do it with the owls, but I also think I better buy them now before this trend is over.  Here are some cute fall decor items that I've seen.

Let's not over look Thanksgiving. It's a holiday that can be easily over looked, unless you host it. Then, you have to have some decor out to make your home warm and welcoming.  That's why I buy a lot of fall home decor that can serve double duty as Halloween decor and Thanksgiving decor.  I have a lot of pumpkins, leaves, and scarecrows that stay out all season long.


Okay, enough. I have to go pick up my daughter now. I could do this for hours. I hope you enjoyed my wish list. Now see what other fall home and fashion trends the other ToT ladies are loving.

I love all of these things, especially the cord blazer. The color would look great on you and it would go with so much!

After some in store browsing, I have to say that I was greatly disappointed in the majority of the clothing items and shoe items I posted about. I did end up getting a few things, but not many of the items I posted about.
