One basic piece, four styles

A staple in any closet is a good pair of boyfriend jeans. I've thrifted a couple of pair recently that I am super excited about wearing this fall. The great thing about them is you can create so many different styles all by changing up your top, shoes, bag or jewelry. Blush Pink has been a huge favorite of mine lately. I'm still in search of a basic white bag and blush pumps to complete this first look. It would be great for a date night and you could easily add a light blazer for those cool fall evenings.

Being a mom of (soon to be) four boys, I have to be able to get around easily and comfortably when we're out and about. Whether it be shopping, playdates at the park, a day at the zoo or picking out library books, pairing a basic white tee and sneaks with some great distressed jeans and some simple jewelry works every time. The sneakers and top keep it nice and casual while the jewelry adds a little feminine touch without making my look unmanageable.

Swapping out the white tee for another neutral color, and adding some warmer tones takes your basic jeans from summer to fall in a snap. I love the utility jacket as a nice basic. You can layer it over virtually anything and it always looks great. Pairing a pair of ankle boots and a warmer toned bag get you a nice fall look that can be worn anywhere. I love this look for a day of shopping with the girls or hubby, a church hayride or taking in a fall festival with my family. The possibilities are endless.

This is one of my favorite looks. The chunky sweater does it all for me. I love feeling cozy and comfortable, especially when I'm out with my family and this outfit takes little to no effort to put together. Grab those same boyfriend jeans, add a basic white tee (long sleeve for when the weather cools off a bit), a nice over sized sweater and some flats. The cheetah print adds a little some thing extra and with a little jewelry and a fall toned bag, you've got a great casual outfit that would be perfect for so many different things.

As you can probably tell, camel, olive and white are some of my favorite neutrals. There's just so much you can do with them. These are just a few outfits I'll be using for inspiration this fall when I'm toting around my newborn little guy all while trying to keep up with my older three. Except outfit number one of course. That's strictly a no-kiddo style. LOL

What basic pieces are you loving to take you from summer to fall?

Fall Outfit Inspo

I'm getting really anxious for autumn to arrive. I can't wait to wear some of my favorite fall staples and some new to me, basic pieces I've picked up thrifting. Plus, I'll be able to carry my sweet baby on the outside of my tummy so, dressing will be considerably easier.

I love a white tunic paired with some distressed jeans, cuffed at the bottom for a little extra something. Throw on a simple black and white scarf and some booties and it just screams fall. Then, of course I would add some simple gold earrings and a bangle to dress it up just a tad. This is going to be on major repeat for me in the coming months.

I love being able to wear dark, rich colors in the cooler months. So, I'm excited about pairing pretty colored sweaters with some black skinnies. I'll probably add in my western ankle booties just to give it a little twist, not to mention, they're super comfortable! And then my favorite black studded bag along with some simple jewelry. Goodness knows I'll need to keep my accessories as simple as I can with a newborn and three other boys to chase. 

Since I won't be quite done with this pregnancy when fall arrives, I'll be taking full advantage of the bump while I can. I love this maternity dress I picked up on sale at Target a few months ago and it will pair great with these basics that I already own. A simple denim jacket, ankle boots, a camel colored scarf, my favorite leather backpack and some pretty studs. Perfect for a fall day of pumpkin patches and festivals with my family. I could always switch the booties out for riding boots and, if the weather warms up a bit, ditch the jacket and still have a great, comfortable outfit.

And, here's one more maternity look I know I'll be sporting this fall. I already love pairing my black old navy maternity dress with my military jacket. For the cooler temps, I'll simply add some riding boots (I seriously need to invest in a new pair!), my leather bag and some pretty gold statement jewelry. This will be the perfect go to outfit that I can change up just by switching out the jacket and jewelry or adding in a scarf. I am so ready!

What trends are you loving this fall? Will you be using pieces you already own or shopping the sales? I'm sure I'll be doing a bit of both. Especially after baby comes and I need some help transitioning back to my pre-pregnancy wardrobe. Because, let's get real, this is baby number four people.
