I’m all about Fall over here. And I know y’all are too because I keep getting requests for Fall content! We are all tired of 100 degree temps and flip flops. Sadly, the weather is not on board. BUT I’M A BLOGGER, Y’ALL. So I’m gonna do what bloggers do. I’m going to plan some outfits with cooler weather in mind, and then later this week I’m going to show me wearing the outfits. And because I’m a blogger, even if it’s 104 degrees outside, I’m going to get the shot. #cuzthatswhatbloggersdo
So I’ve planned 3 fall outfits for today. Two with my absolute favorite MUST HAVE itty bitty boot cut jeans. I adore these jeans, and if you don’t already have them, I beg you to try them. And now is the time, because the regular sizes are ON SALE for UNDER $50! They are unlike any jeans I’ve ever worn before. I’m a big believer in the Ab-solution technology. The fabric is stretchy (but doesn’t lose it’s shape), the waistband has an interior control panel, and the narrow boot cut style elongates the leg and is very slimming.
These jeans just make me feel great!
I wear my regular 4s in them (I’m almost 5’4″ and wear a heeled bootie), but I would definitely size down if between sizes. I think I could wear the 2, but the 4s are so comfy that I just stick with them. Ha!
OUTFIT #1: Wine, Leopard, and Feathers
This first outfit is a little bit sassy with the possibility of the off the shoulder styling (the top can be worn off or on the shoulders), and the leopard and feather accents. It’s important to know with the top that both the bottom of the sleeves and the bottom of the waist are elasticized. And although I absolutely love the fit, if certain sleeves are often too tight on you, this blouse probably isn’t for you because the elastic around the arms is snug.
For size reference, I got a small in the top and a regular 4 in the jeans (I’m almost 5’4″ and the petites were way too short). The booties are true to size as well.
And this leopard clutch? It’s ONLY $45 and makes such a statement. Leopard is huge for Fall, and I totally consider it a neutral… but if you aren’t on board with it quite yet for large pieces, this clutch is a great way to start sneaking the animal print in to your outfits. And the feather earrings are GORGEOUS. Light as a feather (#punverymuchintended) and total outfit makers.
The combo of the wine, leopard, cognac, and gold is just so pretty to me. This outfit is perfect for a girl’s night out or date night with your man.

OUTFIT #2: Navy Floral, Gold, and Leopard
I saw this navy floral blouse when at the mall, and it immediately caught my eye. I can guarantee you I wouldn’t have given it a second look if I would have seen it online because it looks ill fitting. I’ve styled it here with my boot cut jeans, but it will look just as great with denim skinny jeans, my favorite black jeans, and even my favorite black slacks ($30 off right now!) or a pencil skirt for the office! The skirt is under $70 and has great reviews.
And if you don’t have a leopard belt yet for fall, fix that now! You will see me wearing mine in tons of tons of outfits over the next several months. Just like the clutch, a leopard belt is the perfect way to just subtly introduce leopard in to your wardrobe (if you’re scared). #imnotscared #givemealltheleopard
Now let’s talk about the cognac tote for a minute. I ordered a cognac tote and this cognac cross body at the same time, but the cross body hasn’t yet arrived. I will say that I’m not yet sold on the tote, so I will report back when the cross body arrives.

OUTFIT #3:
This third outfit includes lots of pieces that I highly recommend.
First of all, EVERYBODY needs a military jacket. At least one. I have several and wear them all the time. And I don’t even think it’s weird that I have several, because I find myself grabbing for each of them frequently. They are different lengths, different shades of olive, and different styles (sweater back, peplum hem, structured collar, flouncy collar, etc). This particular one is light weight, fitted, and has a collar that you can pop if you so desire. #andido
Secondly, we all need a pair of black jeans, and these are my favorite. This exact outfit would look great with regular denim too, but the back denim just elevates the entire look. AND makes me look skinny. That’s what I call a #winwin.
Finally, a great striped top. And it’s ONLY $17! This one is my favorite right now because I think the neckline is very flattering, and I love that it’s a relaxed fit. If you prefer a long sleeve option, click HERE.
And it’s your lucky day, because my friends at Accessory Concierge are still allowing the code STONESTEAL to be used on the Sims stone necklace ! You can get it for $20 with the STONESTEAL code (regularly $42).

I hope you felt inspired today and are getting ready for cooler temps with me! I mean, I feel like if we all start dressing for fall, surely the temps will follow. Right? #joinme
Erika Slaughter says
I’m RIGHT there with you, Friend!! Bring on fall weather. I’m loving that last outfit with the military jacket-in November I’m gonna recreate that. You know-when fall officially hits-Hahahaha!
Narci says
These outfits are so flipping cute!! I want all three! Adorable!
Aimee Harmon says
Does the strip tee seem a little low cut, or does it cover better than it looks? I don’t need any peep shows if you know what I mean.?
Sheaffer says
Hi, Aimee! It’s low, but not too low for me (and tops often are too low for me). Hope this helps! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Amy says
The long mixed metal necklace is SO cute and sold out. 🙁 Any other suggestions for a long necklace that style? I am having a hard time finding one
Sheaffer says
Hi, Amy! Oh, nuts! Let me see what I can find, and hopefully I’ll have an option by Friday’s post! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Sheila says
Love all these outfits! The booties were sold out in my size yesterday, but today? Score! Can’t wait til they show up on my doorstep. Bring on Fall!
Sheaffer says
Awesome, Sheila! I love it when things pop back up in my size! Such a good tip to keep checking back. xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Charissa says
What color is that top top? It looks red online and looks plum on your blog? I like your color better…wahhh
Sheaffer says
Hi, Charissa! I know it’s called “red tannin”…but it’s not red at all! It’s definitely a wine/plum color!!!! So pretty!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Kate says
All so cute! Love visiting your site for inspiration 🙂
And I’m very interested on your review of the Madewell crossbody. I ordered one (I think in the smaller version?) and am on the fence about it. It’s thinner than I’d hoped and I’m wondering if it’ll hold up well and be sturdy enough for an upcoming trip.
Sheaffer says
Hey, Kate! I think mine gets in today! I’m hoping I love it!!!! I’ll keep you posted. xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Kaylee says
I would like to see all your military style jackets and how you style them! That could be a post in itself for fall! I want some ideas before I make the purchase! 🙂
Sheaffer says
Hi, Kaylee! That’s a great idea for a post! I’ll see when I can squeeze in a collage of pics I’ve already had on my blog!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Robin says
I was beyond excited to see that the Sims Stone necklace was available with a sale code last weekend. Over the summer I had tried to order the color I coveted and it seemed to always be out of stock. Anyway…I got an email today saying my necklace is on the way. I can’t wait!
Sheaffer says
YAY, Robin!!!
Liz says
Wearing my turquoise sims necklace now. You’ve convinced me I need ivory too because striped shirts and olive vests/jacket are a staple fall outfit for me 🙂
Sheaffer says
Liz, you’re right. You do need it. They are stopping the incredible deal next week, so don’t wait! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
