My Favorite Fall Outfits This Season

I hope you’re easing into the coziest part of fall — the warm drinks, the pretty leaves, and of course… the outfits. I’ve been having so much fun getting dressed this season, and I wanted to share a few looks that have made me feel confident, comfortable, and a little more me lately.

We had a big announcement on Instagram last month! We are expecting Baby #2 and shared a fun gender reveal!  Many of the photos in this post were doing my first trimester, but I have a little bump action happening in a few of them.

A handful of these pieces are part of Black Friday sales, so if you’re in the mood to refresh your wardrobe, this is such a good time. I’ll also be sharing more Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals over on my LTK app page. You can follow along here.  Let’s jump in to these fashion deals!

The Velvet Maxi Dress for Holiday Moments

Velvet just belongs in the holiday season. This velvet maxi dress has become my go-to for anything dressy — it catches the light beautifully and feels soft and luxurious without being overwhelming.

It’s one of those pieces that makes you feel festive the second you put it on. And yes, it’s also part of a Black Friday promo, so it’s a perfect time to grab it if you’re prepping for holiday events.

Use code ANTHRO30 for 30% off!

The Green Tiered Wedding Guest Dress

This dress has been one of my favorite finds this season. The deep green is perfect for fall and winter, and the tiered skirt gives it such pretty movement. I wore it to a wedding recently and felt so elegant but still comfortable the entire night.

If you have a fall or winter wedding or formal holiday party coming up, this is a dress you’ll feel excited to slip into — and the fact that it’s on sale right now makes it even better.

Polished, Comfortable Work Outfits

Workwear in the fall is all about feeling put-together while staying warm and comfortable, and this season I’ve been leaning into two types of looks: easy dresses and business-casual outfits with jeans.

Dresses for Work:
I’ve been loving simple midi dresses topped with an optional cozy cardigan. They’re effortless, professional, and so comfortable for long days. A few of my favorites have fun prints, or classic silhouettes that make getting dressed in the morning feel easy.

Business Casual with Jeans:
On more relaxed workdays, I’ve been reaching for dark denim paired with elevated basics — a polished blouse, a soft sweater, or a tailored blazer. It’s that perfect blend of comfortable and refined, and it always feels appropriate without being too formal.

A few of these pieces are also part of Black Friday sales, making it a great moment to refresh your work wardrobe with pieces you’ll wear again and again.

Everyday Casual Outfits

On casual days, I’ve been keeping things simple and comfortable. Lately, that looks like:

  • Oversized sweaters with leggings

  • Great-fitting denim with a classic long-sleeve tee or cardigan

  • A preppy striped polo dress

These are the outfits I reach for when I want to look put-together without a ton of effort — cozy, reliable, and easy to repeat.

Loungewear for Slow Days at Home

Fall wouldn’t be fall without really good loungewear. I’ve been living in black leggings and cozy pullovers that feel like a little moment of comfort at the end of the day.

Some of these styles are included in Black Friday deals too, making them perfect for treating yourself or stocking up before winter fully hits.

Winter Outfit Recap

Fingers crossed we have had our last bit of winter weather, and we can start sailing into Spring!  We had a rare snow day down here in Houston last month.  My sweaters were getting lots of use these past couple months that is for sure!  I have a winter outfit recap for you featuring many of my favorite sweater outfits, plus a little spring teaser at the end.  I styled a few sweaters different ways, so I included both outfits.  With spring fashion starting to hit stores, keep an eye out for winter sales to start!

If you are ready for spring, I shared some sandals under $35 and fabulous spring dresses over in the LTK app.

Happy New Year friends!  I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and rang in the new year in style!

As we head deeper into the winter season, I styled a business casual outfit for you today.  I paired a dark purple floral sweater with a pair of super dark blue flared jeans.  For my petite gals, these jeans require a heel to hit the perfect graze the ground length. I paired them with my new black western style booties, but heels would work too.  These booties pair perfectly with dresses too.

Pilcro Cable Twofer Sweater

I’m a big fan of the twofer style top.  This Pilcro cable twofer sweater is a ivory cable knit sweater on top with a white button down top attached to the bottom.  I think the twofer styles can be more lightweight than wearing these two top styles layered together.  It’s a great option if you run warm or live in a warmer climate.

I styled it with my flared jeans for a chic casual outfit.  For  a workwear outfit, I think a brown faux leather pencil skirt would be the perfect compliment.  Since the top is ivory and white, you could also pair with a colorful pencil skirt too.

Have you tried a twofer top?
