It’s time to bring out the corduroy mini skirts and boots! One of my top fall and winter pairings for work, date night, or dinner out with your gal pals is a fall mini skirt paired with a tall pair of boots.  Suede and corduroy are two of the popular styles for the fall season. I love the added details of the buttons on the front or a small little slit on the side.

This floral pattern on this skirt has gorgeous jewel tone colors, perfect for fall.  It comes in two other colors, but I really gravitated to the purples and dark pinks in this print.  It really pops against the black, and it will also work well with an ivory cropped sweater.  Other top color options pulling from the colors in the print – mustard yellow, dark pink, or a burnt orange.

To showcase the details on the top of the skirt, a bodysuit was a must have pairing with this skirt.  I love that bodysuits stay in place, doesn’t come untucked, and give a nice smooth look with the skirt.  If you aren’t looking for a fitted top option, a loose cropped sweater that ends 1-2 inches past the top of the skirt is another great option and a perfect way to transition this skirt into the winter season.

I hope ya’ll are ready for lots of fall outfit inspiration over the next few weeks!  I have some pretty fabulous fall outfits coming to blog this week, and I can’t wait to share them all with  you!

I’m a big skinny jeans fan, and sometimes jogger pants feel a bit odd to wear out.  I do love the looser fit.  It’s a bit more comfy and styled the right way, a black pair of jogger pants can have a pretty chic and stylish look.  The key is to get the right fit.  These fit TTS to your jean size.  I did roll the bottom up one to fit my petite height, and it made the length perfect!  I also think the high waist design adds a bit to the chic factor.

With a looser fitting bottom, I opt for a fitted top to keep a balance in proportions.  With my petite height, outfit proportions can help me not look short and stumpy.  A white tank top and denim jacket was perfect for a casual outfit.  I of course dressed it up a bit with my dressy peep toe bootie heels.  Another super chic outfit option is to pair with a bodysuit.  I styled the jogger pants that way for a happy hour a few weeks ago.  See that look here.
