Fashion Friday-Fall 2013

September 6, 2013 | 13 Comments

I have been in a fashion slump this summer, but I feel myself slowing coming out of it. One of my favorite parts or working full time was getting dressed in the morning. I enjoyed playing with my clothes and coming up with different combinations-some winners, some not!

Since I don’t have a 9-5 job anymore, my wardrobe needs have changed. I am still trying to develop a busy-grandma-on-the go wardrobe, so that I don’t fall into the habit of wearing my yoga pants everywhere I go. (Although, as a Holy Yoga teacher, I LOVE yoga pants!)

According to my extensive research (NOT), here are some trends for this fashion season:

Wearing 9/6/2013
I really like this polyvore set by My 4 Boys. I like lots of the outfits she puts together. 

                               
1. Great Outerwear

I don’t need a new coat, but I do plan to wear the coats I do have on a more equal basis. I tend to grab the same one over and over.

2. Hats

Hats and I just do not get along. I look like a total dork in one.

3. Classic prints: Think menswear plaid, houndstooth

I love classic prints, and I actually have a pencil skirt in a large houndstooth check way back in the depths of my closet that is too big. Maybe I will spend a little money to have it altered. I really should.

4. Leopard prints are still huge

I am good in this department. I have a leopard print scarf that literally goes with everything, and I also bought the cutest little leopard cardigan this summer that was reduced, reduced, reduced from last winter. 

5. Emerald Green

I am going to look for a dress in this color, I think.

6. Layering

Lots of girls at She Speak were rocking leggings and cute tunics this summer. I thought leggings were kaput, but maybe they aren’t. I have been noticing skinny ponte knit pants that look pretty cute and could take the place of leggings. I might try to look for some at Chicos. Have any of you bought their hold-in-your tummy pants?

7. Winter White

I intend to wear my white jeans all winter long.

8. Peplums

I found a cute little peplum top at TJ Maxx dirt cheap earlier this summer. I haven’t really worn it all that much because it is sleeveless and it was too hot most of the time to wear a cardigan. Maybe I can “fall it up” with my jean jacket and boots.

9. Leather this and that

Nothing new on the horizon here.

10. Military inspired looks

I would really like a pair of very subtle camo jeans even though my sister said it might be pushing it at my age. Hummph.

I also may break down and buy the J Crew factory military jacket in the picture above, if I can find my size at some kind of reduced price.

11. Black shoes

Well-covered.

12. Tall boots

Good here.

13. Booties

I have one pair, but I would like another pair that is tighter around the angle. The ones I have look great with tights and a skirt or dress, but……

14. Something quilted

Not sure if I will jump into this trend or not.

One thing I am sure of. I will NOT be wearing this little number!

    This is such a great post Susan! I don't work either and my pitfall is going around in my garden clothes too much 🙂 so that when I get a chance to go shopping or out somewhere I struggle with over-doing it with the dressing up. I love clothes and boy does my closet groan when I bring something new to hang in there.

    Okay, That was funny! I need some help in the wardrobe department also. I want cute but comfy, with an expandable waist when going out to dinner LOL
    I will need to borrow your leopard print scarf, cause I know it will go with something I own! I hope!

    I fall into the hoodie and jeans trap all the time.;) Hoping to sport some tall boots, but I'm a member of the wide calves club and they don't quite fit into the tall boots. I may go for the TOMS bootie cheetah wedge instead. Hope all is well! Happy Fall!

    I'm the same with coats. I have plenty but I always tend to grab the trusty black one.

    Oh, come on Susan! You would totally ROCK that beaded face mask! LOL! Who wears that stuff anyway??

    I have always had a hidden attraction to camo pants too. I am a Nana myself, so maybe I'll have to skip that one. Love the houndstooth, and the jacket.

    Maybe I'll have to come over and borrow a few things?
    Happy Monday!

    I think you are younger than me and I would totally wear the camo jeans! From your photos I think you would look super cute in them!

    One of my favorite blogs is called Pinterest Told Me To. I think you would like her fashion buys. Also, another couple you may like are Hi Sugarplum and Get Your Pretty On. They have great fashion tips and are the sweetest girls.
    I always love reading about other ladies' fashion tips and/or holiday posts. It has been fun reading this morning. Blessings!
