Six Ways to Wear a Long Black Tunic for Fall
Happy Friday and Happy Weekend! Can you believe Thanksgiving is less than a week away? I can’t either! I already put up my Christmas tree and started my holiday shopping. By the way, all my gift guides this year will have a dedicated spot HERE. I figured that would be easier than going through multiple posts. I also included gift guides of years’ past for even more ideas!
This long black tunic has come in pretty handy this fall. It’s great over leggings for a day at home, and it also pairs perfectly with skinny jeans and boots. It’s got some pretty good versatility to it being able to dress down or into a super chic night out look.
Six Ways to Wear a Long Black Tunic for Fall
WITH LIGHT BLUE JEANS
I love the contrast of the dark top with the light wash jeans. To keep this look leaning towards fall, I added in my dark brown mules. The black and brown combo is a fave of mine for fall.

WITH BLACK JEANS & DENIM JACKET
All black tops look great with a pair of black skinny jeans for a monochromatic outfit. I added in a blue denim jacket and brown booties to add some color to the overall look.

WITH DARK BLUE JEANS & TALL BROWN BOOTS
Still looking for a Thanksgiving outfit? Pairing this top with dark wash jeans and tall brown leather boots is the perfect fall combo! Plus, this top will help hide those extra servings of dressing and pumpkin pie.

WITH TAN LEATHER JACKET & FAUX LEATHER LEGGINGS
To dress up this top for a night out with the gals, I added in some leather. These faux leather leggings add a chic factor to any outfit especially when paired with a pair of suede boots. For a little color, I added my tan leather jacket which also helps add a little edge to the look.

WITH LEATHER LEGGINGS & WHITE SHOES
Faux leather leggings are not just for a night out! I paired this tunic and leggings combo with a pair of casual white slides for a casual weekend or work from home outfit.

WITH CUTOFF SHORTS & COWBOY BOOTS
I live in Texas, even in fall it can be a little warm. I’m including one outfit with shorts for those of us living in a hot fall area. I also love this outfit for a rodeo our county fair. I added in cowboy boots to give this look a little bit of the western vibe. You could also go with a a pair of brown booties.

Five Ways to Wear an Orange Top for Different Seasons
Sometimes I go on a little bit of a color crush binge, and I don’t realize it until I see the new items hanging together in my closet. Lately it’s been the color orange. From the burnt orange dress shared a week ago to this floral print top from summer to today’s short sleeve top, and one more orange item coming next week!
For today’s post, I wanted to share how to wear the color orange year round by showcasing it with a few different jean colors that will work in all the different seasons.
Five Ways to Wear an Orange Top for Different Seasons
FOR SPRING, SUMMER, AND FALL
This first outfit will work well for spring, summer and fall. A classic faded blue color works well with the earthtone orange. To keep the look casual, I paired it with a nude colored loafer flat. This light tan color also works well with the orange shade since they both have a hint of warmth to them.

FOR SPRING AND SUMMER
For spring and summer, a light wash blue jean or white jean will work well to help make the orange really pop. With the lighter blue jean, I paired this outfit with my white slides which provides just the right amount of contrast to the light blue. For a white jean, I would opt for a light brown sandal.

FOR SUMMER
Orange is such a fun color to wear in the summer months! A faded black bottom really plays up the earthtone orange color of this top. To add a little bit of a boho vibe to this outfit, I paired it with my light tan booties. The light color also helps to add the illusion of a longer leg which I love as a petite styling tip. You could also go with flat sandals or a fun wedge to change up the look a little.

FOR EARLY FALL
In Texas, I feel like we have two falls – the early warm one and the late one with cooler jacket required temps. For the warmer early fall time of year, dark wash jean is a great option to bring orange into the fall season. To play on the warmth in the top, I paired my darker congac brown mules with this outfit. I cuffed my jeans a little higher than normal to make them just slightly above the ankle which can help make me look a little taller.

FOR LATE FALL
When the cooler temps take over, a pair of black skinny jeans and dark brown over the knee boots will make this top perfect for late fall. I opted for brown over a black boot to keep the look from having too much of a Halloween feel. I chose a black denim, so I could easily toss on a blue denim jacket for a colder day and have a good contrast in my denim colors.

What I Wore This Month
Well hasn’t this been a whirlwind of a month! I started the month finally able to start wearing all the cute and pretty spring things and ended it wearing all the casual comfies. I’m thinking it might be time to start putting on normal clothes again this week. We will see how everything goes.
For this month’s outfit recap, I included a few shots from a try on session I did over on Instagram Stories (@karenkocich). Occasionally, I share new pieces when I receive them in the mail. Since I didn’t have a chance to wear all my new spring items this month, I wanted to include them before they sell out!
Hope you enjoy this month’s outfit recap! Fingers crossed next month will be filled with more fabulous spring outfit ideas!

Well here we are, closing out another year here on the blog. I cannot believe I have been writing this blog for 5 years now! I celebrated my blogiversary back in October. It’s crazy to think of how far this little blog of mine has come since those early days 5 years ago. I still love every minute of putting content together too.
