At the beginning of September, I released a free fall wardrobe basics checklist.  I wanted to share an outfit idea based on a few items from that list.  I created the checklist based on some of my top outfit formulas for the season.  This one is a pretty simple and easy fall outfit formula that can restyled many ways with what you already have in your closet!

What is an Outfit Formula?

It’s an outfit that can be repeated throughout the season by changing out different styles of the same piece to create multiple outfits.

My Easy Fall Outfit Formula

Long Cardigan + Striped or Solid Tee or Tank Top + Skinny Jeans + Booties

If you take a look back at many of my posts featuring cardigans, you may see this formula repeated just using different pieces.  It’s a great go to layered look for fall, and you probably already own most of these pieces.  To add even more to this look, you can add a floral printed tee, striped cardigan, long necklace, or change out your booties for flats or heels.

If you try out this outfit formula and share over on Instagram, be sure and tag me (karenkocich) so I can check out what pieces you used to create this fall look!

Happy Friday!!!  Ya’ll know I have a major love for a good cardigan and a layered look during the fall season.  Spoiler Alert: I have a few cardigan looks coming at you this fall!  I added in a few colors that I didn’t already have in my closet.  Truth I already have a blush pink cardigan, but it’s more pink and this one is more earth tone rose, so totally different. 😉

This oversized blush pink cardigan has all the comfy vibes, and I love the shorter sleeve for the south.  It’s still a thick and warm cardigan, but the shorter sleeve gives you a little breathing room.  I immediately thought of ivory and gray when I saw this cardigan.  It’s a different lighter color look for fall.  I did add in my fall trend snakeskin heels and my newest Kendra from her fall collection to give it a few trendy fall vibes.  This cardigan would also look great worn over a fitted dress or just tossed on for a day of lounging around the house.

I hope you guys have a fabulous last weekend of September!  Don’t forget to check out my previous post to see a look back at a few of my daily outfits from this month.

What I Wore This Month (September 2019)

What I Wore This September | Fall and Summer Outfits | Popular Fashion Blog Lady in Violet

Hello friends!!  It’s time for my monthly outfit rewind of some of my top daily looks from September.  I added a new mirror to my apartment which meant I was able to snap a few extra photos of my daily outfits.  Thanks to my mirror, I expect to have even more outfits in the coming months!  All of these outfits are shared throughout the month over on Instagram on my feed and in stories.  Not an Instagram user,  you can also see them on my Shop Instagram page too.

This month I have a mix of casual work outfits and end of summer weekend outfits.  My snakeskin heels are currently on a weekly rotation.  These heels had minimal break in time and are super comfy!  I also found a new addiction thanks to my boyfriend.  He gifted my my first pair of lululemon leggings for my birthday, and now I’m hooked. (FYI – I had these altered for Free at the store, my normal length would be 23 or 25.)  These leggings are pricey, but oh so comfy!  I never see them have storewide sales, but they do have a sale section called We Made Too Much.

Let me know in the comments which is your favorite outfit!

Happy Monday Friends!!  I’m loving this mix of neutrals for a cute fall casual outfit.  This ivory smock top has some really pretty lace details across the chest and on the sleeves.  The overall look of the top reminds me of a spring babydoll dress.  The flowy fit of the top immediately made me want to pair this with skinny jeans and boots.  It’s the perfect combo for fall!

Ivory, black, and brown are a few of my go to neutral shades.  All three mix well together to create a pretty fall combo.  To add a little statement to my outfit, I added in my tortoise earrings.  You could also opt for gold drop earrings too.  Also ya’ll, these boots are super old!  The brand isn’t even in business anymore. They are in desperate need of replacement, but I have yet to find anything comparable to their design.  I just send them off to the shoe hospital to have repairs done to the sole and heel when needed.  I did find something sort of similar though, but it doesn’t have the cool detail at the top of the boot.  I’ll let ya’ll know if I find anything similar!

Hope ya’ll have a fabulous week and thanks for stopping by!
