Fall Style Ideas for your closet

Byljanning@dukemanorfarm.com

I must admit, folks around here are a tad bit giddy that the temperatures were in the 70’s yesterday and in the 50’s last night. But sadly, the giddy won’t last too long, it’s suppose to be back in the 80’s tomorrow. So while we wait for fall temps to really arrive, I wanted to share a few fall style ideas for your closet. So when the fall chill really does arrive, you are ready and looking good.

Fall Style Ideas for your closet

Footware

Boots are EVERYWHERE and I mean EVERYWHERE,  particularly ankle boots. The reason they are so hugely popular is that you can wear them with anything. From jeans, to skirts to dresses, ankle boots will be a wonderful complement to your fall wardrobe. I got these black Nine West ones last winter and they are super comfortable. In fact, I wore them quite a bit in Europe last Spring. When my luggage was lost, they were the only shoes I had for days. I had no issue with comfort. I can’t find this pair any longer but I have included a very similar pair here for you.

Soon enough I will retire my flipflops and move into something a bit more stylish and warmer. My converse chucks are a good year round shoe to pair with jeans and even warm-ups. I prefer my darker colored converse in the fall and winter, but still  faithful to my white one’s.

Jackets

 Something that I will be sporting for another season  is my puffer vest and denim jacket. Glad to see they are still very much a cold weather staple. I have had this black vest for a few years now and just ordered a new red one. I love that you can layer a long sleeve shirt or a heavier sweater underneath the vest depending on the weather and it doesn’t feel or look so bulky. Not like we want all want to look like the Michelen man. I have had the denim jacket I am wearing for several years. A great denim jacket can last for years, and never go out of style….as far as I’m concerned.

Jeans

During the cool fall season you can find me in some cozy sweat pans or a good ole pair of jeans. What I love about these jeans is that they look super fun and casual with my converse or I can turn up the casual and wear them with a great sweater and some boots for a night out. The Skinny jeans I am wearing in the first picture with my boots are from here are super comfortable and don’t stretch out. I have muscular thighs and the dark denim helps to create a more slimmer look.

Fall Style Ideas for your closet

One of the reasons I love fall  is for a change in wardrobe. I love pieces that are versatile  that allow you to be able to layer on just enough to keep you cozy and warm while still not being completely bundled up. I hope some of my Fall style ideas for your closet will help to inspire your fall wardrobe…. and hopefully before the cooler temps really do show up.
Fall Fashion Ideas from Duke Manor Farm
Before I let you go (and since we are friends and all)  I must tell you that including pictures of myself today was initially a bit awkward. I realize we all have hangups and insecurities, and getting my picture taken is one of mine. Since trying to get over that fear is something that I am working on, I thought what better way then to do it this way, while hopefully sharing something that is relevant and inspiring. Basically these posts are a step in the right direction of helping me get ‘the heck over it’. Special thanks to my niece for taking the pictures and my pumpkin which proved to be an awesome security blanket  prop. Look for a few more fashion posts showing up every once in a while….next time without my pumpkin.

  3. You are very cute and I loved this post! I dress up a bit more as I work part-time and we are out and about a good bit. But I would wear most everything you shared but I would add black ankle pants and some other pants into the mix. I love tunics and skinny pants. I do have some of the shooties/booties which is big for me because I normally don’t like boots – don”t like my tootsies covered. I don’t do tennis shoes other than when I exercise tho! LOL I also love scarves and fun necklaces. I’m a bit busty so I have to be careful with the puffer vests but last year I found a quilted one that is smaller little squares and not much “stuffing”. I bought two last year and have ordered another color for this year! Also got a new denim jacket. (You see we like some of the same things!). It is cooler here yesterday and today (TN),, but yes 80s next week. And that is okay with me. I do not like cold weather. Enjoyed the fashion post and hope you do another!

  4. Great post. I love your style, and don’t be insecure about your pics – they are great!

  7. You should be in more pictures! You always look great! I love your outfit choices too…such great classics for fall. I have a few similar pieces but I need to do some shopping! Enjoy your weekend!

  8. Love everything…the ripped jeans are so cute!

    I’m liking the chunk heeled booties, finally something that makes me look taller but I’m not keeling over in!!

    Happy Fall, Laura!

  9. Love this post and all your selections and you look so cute in all of them. That is one of the things I don’t like about living in Fl I love fall fashions. I do get to wear my jeans . denim jacket and my black and white plaid shirt except it’s cotton not flannel. Can’t wait to see your next selection.

    1. oh thanks so much Jane. I intially got her set up with my ‘real’ camera but she was more comfortable with her iphone. I find that the phone these days takes just as good of a photo. hope you are having a great weekend.

  11. Love all your fall pics and they look great on you. I was wondering where you bought your casual denim jeans with the holes, they look super comfy?

  13. I wondered why you were holding a pumpkin lol. You look fabulous and stylish my dear so don’t fret! By the way, I don’t think the links in this post are working,
