Imagine, the mist is creeping in from the mountains, shadows seem to change shape in every corner, you swear you closed the closet door but out of the corner of your eye you notice it’s ajar, creaking in the breeze, and suddenly from the darkness emerges… a figured draped in a Canadian Tuxedo.
Okay, seriously now. Halloween critters don’t scare us but what DOES scare us is certain fashion faux pas. But worry not, there’s ALWAYS a way to fix it! For example, denim on denim is not inherently bad!! For me, it’s only bad when it’s a combination of the same wash, and maybe when the jacket and jeans are both tight. An oversized light wash jacket with dark or black distressed jeans? Totally fine. A denim-and-corduroy barn jacket with your favorite medium wash Remis? Honestly, LOVE.
Another potentially spooooooky topic is athleisure wear. It can be a challenge to do sporty cute correctly, but when it’s done right, it’s RIGHT. We love track pants with a girly top, we love your Lululemon set with a cute fall shacket. My top day-off outfit right now is a workout set, cute sporty socks, chunky hokas, and a cozy shacket. With SO many cute ways to wear athletic wear, why are we still wearing Align tops with jeans? Or sketchers with skinny jeans? SCARY, ladies!! Pinterest usually has such good inspo for your comfy gym wear fitting into everyday looks, and it’s all SO cute.
My last, maybe spookiest, one is the hottest take of all, and it circles back to the skinny jeans topic. Feel free to ignore, because it truly is just opinion. But, it’s a common misconception that boots must be worn with skinny jeans, tucked in. I promise with all my heart, there is ALWAYS a solution to skinny jeans. Ankle boots = wide leg cropped jeans, OR barrel jeans if you’re feelin fun! (We just got some new Hudson barrel jeans, they’re WAY cute) cowboy boots = midi skirt. Riding boots = tights and a mini skirt. Unless skinny jeans are your ride or die, there’s many ways to rescue you from the situation where you’re like, “well I want to wear my knee high boots today, guess I have to drag my 2015 American eagles outta the closet.”
BOO! Scared now? I sure am. Just a little teaser into the spookiest month of the year, and side note, I can’t BELIEVE it’s October already. See you next year, summer!! We are READY for a whole new season of outfit ideas though, and we have TONS of cute fall stuff right now!! Come shop with us, and now you have a cute lil’ discount just for hearing me out!
