This week my classes started to pick back up again, so my week consisted of primarily schoolwork. Because of that, I decided to change up today's Five Friday Favorites with some of my fall fashion must-haves, and things I've been shopping for recently.
1. I was looking for a casual dress for fall that wasn't a thick sweater dress, since "Florida Fall" is not quite sweater dress weather. Well, at least for a Colorado girl it's not! I found one on ThredUp and used a store credit I had, but this Striped Dress from LOFT is a similar option.
2. Last winter I was gifted a grey poncho for Christmas, and I'm looking forward to it getting cold enough that I can break it out again. I love all the patterned ones I'm seeing in stores, and I'm especially digging this Aztec Print one from TJ Maxx.
3. This week, with the influx of schoolwork I've had, my daily outfits have been more comfortable and less cutely styled. In the last year or so, I've grown to love the tunic-and-leggings look, and I find that as long as my tush is covered I am comfortable wearing such a look to class. Especially when I have a long day of class, and might plan on staying late to work on projects. But I've been wanting to add a few more tunic options in my wardrobe, and this Rib-Knit Tunic from Old Navy fits the bill! I picked it up yesterday actually, and they have some amazing Veteran's Day sales going on right now, so definitely check your local Old Navy!
4. Lately I've been thinking about adding a new pair of booties to my wardrobe, this time a flat-heeled cognac pair. I was discussing with a friend how I'm intrigued by the fringe trend on booties, and then somehow we both ended up shoe shopping instead of doing our schoolwork! Oops! Anyway, I fell in love with these Dallas booties by Koolaburra on 6pm but naturally they are a little ways outside my college student budget. Sad day.
5. I love a waterfall cardigan! I get cold easily, so I frequently have some sort of sweater or jacket integrated with most of my outfits, and cardigans are my go-to. I've had my eye on this Drapey Open Cardigan from LOFT for some time now, and am waiting for a nice sale to come my way so I can snatch it up! I think the olive would be a great fall and winter addition to my collection. :)
What elements of fall fashion are you in love with lately?
Happy weekend!
