Fall Booties Under $30

Whenever fall rolls around, I get a little too excited about getting to pull out my booties. This year, I added two new pairs to round out my collection.

"I also feel like I should admit that I came this close to naming this post 'Miss New Bootie', because, well, why not?"

To my pleasant surprise, I didn't have to break the bank to do so, which is always nice. I also feel like I should admit that I came this close to naming this post 'Miss New Bootie', because, well, why not?

I already have a pair of black ankle booties, but because they have gold hardware accents, they aren't my go-to pair for every outfit. These boots are simple enough to be worn whenever an outfit calls for black booties. I anticipate wearing these non-stop.

Fringe is a major fall trend, and I wanted to work it into my wardrobe in a subtle way without spending too much. My rule is to keep trendy items under $30, so these boho pair were perfect.

Tried & True

I can't be the only girl over this awful in between seasons stage. We've had sunny spring weather, only to be threatened with snow a week later. I mean, not to be harsh, but Mother Nature is being a real moody b***h. 

I'm very uninspired this time of year (I'm really just holding out for Spring colors), so I stick to my tried-and-true staples: a classic striped dress, layered with my overworn utility vest, tights and booties. Sparkle and red lipstick for the sake of my sanity, of course. 

P.S. If you're looking for some sparkle of your own, Bauble Bar is having an amazing President's Day Sale!

buffalo & leopard

It sounds like a bad joke, doesn't it? So, a buffalo and a leopard walk into a closet...but it's not. It's just a crazy combo of patterns that was entirely inspired by this pin.

Since I'm going to be wearing a lot of leopard this fall, and I mean a hell of a lot, I was trying to find new, unexpected way to play with it.

Enter this buffalo button up, oversized and thick, it's a warm and a significantly less bulky alternative to a coat. Because, being completely honest, I'm not ready to be fully bundled up just yet.

head check

If I'm not mistaken, the only requirement for wearing a hat is that you have a head. Despite the fact that about 100% of us posses that body part, I've heard a lot of people (self included) say "I'm not a hat person."

So, let's take a quick quiz. Check your body. Do you have a head? Well, ding-ding-ding! You're a hat person! Now, all you have to do is find the right one. 

I'm partial to the instant luxury of a 70's inspired floppy hat. It's perfect for that weird fall-to-spring-to-fall in between weather Atlanta's been having *insert heavy eyeroll* which is why I've been living in layers this past February. I feel like a Russian nesting doll when I get dressed these days *even heavier eyeroll followed by disgusted grunt*.
