Fashion Friday: Fall Fashion - Ankle Boots and Scarves

I love fall fashion! I never want to dress up in the summer, preferring to stick to shorts and t-shirts. The moment fall hits, I’m digging into my drawers for fun color combinations and pull out sparkly jewelry to accessorize.

Fall Fashion Mom Style: Ankle Boots and Scarves

I’m back for Fashion Friday with a new look for me. I bought a pair of ankle boots after reading Jo-Lynne of Musings of a Housewife’s tips for fall boots. I’ve never been a big fan of boots. I only have one pair of simple black boots in my closet that I bought from Hannah Andersson many years ago. I took a chance and bought another pair of boots, this time a pair of Anne Klein ankle boots at DSW, my favorite shoe store.

To be honest, I left those Anne Klein boots in the box for a week before putting them on. They felt good in the store, but I know from past experience that feeling good in the store doesn’t always equal feeling good at home. I took a chance, put the boots on and fell in love. In fact, I spent the entire day wearing them and loving them. And, talking about them endlessly to my husband. Poor guy!

Before moving on, I’m wearing black boot cut Lee Jeans on the bottom and a light blue cotton sweater from Ann Taylor Loft with a white tank top, also from Ann Taylor Loft underneath.

My other new fashion accessory is scarves. Being short I always thought scarves were not for me. I couldn’t find scarves I loved, and all the scarves I saw were SO BIG.

But, I started studying how other moms wore scarves. And, asking questions. And playing with the scarves. This green/yellow scarf from Target I wrapped around my neck and tucked the ends under the inside bits.

Many of Target’s scarves are under $20, making them a frugal accessory for the fall. I’m really tempted to order this geometric infinity scarf from Target; I love the graphic design.

For a little sparkle, I added my favorite Premier bracelet to the outfit. It goes nicely with the new drop earrings and stud earrings from Target I’m wearing.
