Fall/Winter Fashion Must Haves!

Hello all! This post has been a long time coming! I've been waiting to update y'all on some great fashion finds that I think are just perfect for this fall and winter. Here in Phoenix it is barely starting to feel like fall! I've been craving some cooler weather and it has finally arrived! I have been collecting some fashion inspiration from Pinterest and Instagram and I finally went out and picked up some treasures. So here are my fall/winter recommendations:

Leather Leggings
I have been dying to grab a pair of faux leather leggings! I think they look great with oversized sweaters, blouses, and tees. I believe that leather leggings can definitely be dressed up or down. I had been building outfits in my mind around these leggings for weeks! I was so excited to find a pair and it took some looking! I tried on many pairs before I found one that fit me perfectly! I am linking a few options below but I personally ended up buying the pair from Charlotte Russe.



Loose Blouse
I wanted to pick up a nice versatile loose blouse in a good fall color that I could pair with my leather leggings, jeans, or a pencil skirt. I think this is maybe more of a staple for some women because a nice blouse can be classy and relaxed. I bought mine one size larger (I'm typically a "small" so I bought a "medium") so that it would hang a little lower when I wear leggings to keep them a bit modest. I've linked a few options for y'all again but I found my loose blouse at Forever 21. I chose an emerald green blouse because I felt it was a beautiful color for this season.




Faux Fur Vest
O-EM-GEE! I have seen these everywhere and I cannot wait to get my hands on one! I know the whole "fur" concept, even when it's "faux," does not sit well with everyone. So if this is not your cup of tea, I understand and no offense intended! I, however, love how they look! Again, like my previous "must haves," I think these vests can be dressed up or down. I would love to pair a faux fur vest with a plaid shirt and some jeans or with my loose blouse and leather leggings. I found a few different options but I am going for the black one from Target (the first option, it has pockets)!




Peep Toe Booties
I found a pair of peep toe booties at Target (surprise, surprise!) and fell in love! Since it is still warm during the day here in Phoenix, I thought these were such a good compromise for fall. I think these will look great with the faux leather leggings as well as jeans or a dress. If you live in a colder region where the peep-toe may not be such a comfortable idea, then closed-toe booties are obviously just as cute! I linked to both options below (I was unable to find the exact open-toe shoes from Target) so you can find something that works best for you! Enjoy!



I hope y'all enjoyed my current "must haves" and maybe you got some ideas for yourself! I am going to try my very best to post at least once a week and keep you updated on my current favorites in the beauty world! I hope y'all have a great rest of the week and I'll be back with more soon!

With Love, Hannah Marie
