Is there such thing as pumpkin spice apparel?

Pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin spice candles, pumpkin spice sweets, pumpkin spice pumpkin, pumpkin spiced pumpkin spice…wait is it fall?  Oh yes, the hashtag #pumpkinspice everything has risen and even though I have a sensitive tummy to the fall fav, I am all aboard the fall train!  When changing over my wardrobe from summer to fall a single tear drop fell into my bin of summer sandals and dresses as a sad farewell. Is there such thing as seasonal seperation anxiety?  I guess I will WebMD that later.

Then I busted out my knee high boots and cozy scarves and I was then like “oh, hey you guysssssss I have missed you!”  After my rendezvous of joining up my old fall clothes with the new items that are in my closet wanted to share with you my new fall favs for under $40!

The military style jacket that sinches in the waist gives you the industrial kind of feel, but still feminely shapes to your body for $40 from TJ Maxx.  Also, from TJ Maxx pictured are rose gold hoops is a simple touch of an accessory that pairs perfect with any outfit for under $15.  Statement necklace was an amazing find from New York and Co. for under $10 in their sale section!  I got this necklace about two weeks ago and there was plenty of selection to choose from along with their stylish collection of fall looks.  Sunglasses are also from New York and Co. for under $20.  Love this shape because they don’t take over my especially round face and it does not look like I am wearing a pair of my nieces toy sunglasses.  The shade of brown is the perfect look for the fall season.  Shoes are from Target for under $20.  If you remember this pair from one of my past posts, they are actually not Kendall and Kylie, but perfect look alikes from Target for half the price!

The Rise of the Printed Pant!

We have all heard the saying you should not wear large prints because it will draw attention to parts of your body that you want to hide.  Ummmm yeah about that…I think that idea needs to be put to rest.  The rise of the printed pant has come and I could not be more excited!  I believe that any style can be worn by any body type, but finding the right fit and color patterns are definetely key!  The pants I wanted to highlight in this post are from last season at New York and Co. for under $40!

 I was drawn to the pattern at first glance and thought no wayyyyy could I ever pull these off.  Then my inner Beyonce emerged and I did an imaginary hair flip, pulled out the size 14, and made my way to the dressing room.  After slipping them on I immediately felt a sigh of relief that I did not have to do the traditional pants dance, you know the one I am talking about.  The lunge, jump, pull we have all had to do at one time or another in the dressing room almost on the verge of sweating to get a cute pair of jeans or dress pants on.

The key to statement pants shopping is to be on the lookout for lightweight material, especially in a poly blend for a bit of stretch but snug in the right places!  Also, the highwaisted look with the drawstring gave the look of these pants a casual feel, but can also be dazzled up a bit too.  I paired my fav tops from a basic to bold with details below to give you a visual of how to pattern clash and color coordinate as well!
