Happy weekend loves! I hope everyone had fun fall plans today. I’m sharing casual vibes and a new partnership.

I’m all about midi skirts right now. I want to keep my skirts out still and it is a perfect balance between staying warm but still letting your legs be free. Enjoy it while we can. This denim skirt can be dressed up or down. Naturally the women from Who What Wear knew this and gave us a piece we would all appreciate.

Remember on my last post I talked about layering your striped shirt essentials? Well here you go, exhibit A. I live in this striped turtleneck. I feel like this is a given, but really take your time to shop for the perfect piece you will love! I’ve had some shirts that are okay and it made making outfits not as productive.

Fall Essentials Under $50

Happy Monday! I know you’re not super thrilled about today which is why I decided to post this today. Cheer up your Monday with these ultra budget friendly fall essentials.

I thought about the pieces that I layer and repeat the most. Not a lot of these pieces are super trendy, but you will wear them over and over. So here we go!

Knee High Boots: You will always wear these with jeans or dresses. Use them to keep you warm. An outfit will never be boring with a show stopping pair. Plus its nice to switch between flat, wedge, or heel. And yes, I put bordeaux in there, but only because it will vibe with all your fall colors.

 

Fancy Feet: Swap out your usual black loafers and grab a pair of shoes that will add excitement to your all black attire. These beautiful fall colors look great on a sweater but put them on something else!

 

Scarf: Of course it is not freezing out yet, thank goodness, but a blanket scarf can do more than keep you warm. Focus on a thick fabric later, right now, go for a thin option. During the summer, we accessorize less, but this is fall, we accessorize with scarves!

 

Striped Shirt: You’re going to be a layering professional this fall. You need to get a few striped shirts that work with the right outfit. Currently, I have about 5. A long shirt dress when I have long layers, a turtleneck option for under sweaters, and a crew neck for under jackets and such. Stripes is your neutral when you have loud patterns or colors.

 

Trench: So you’re leaving for work in the AM and its 53 degrees. But when you head home, it will be about 64. Insert the perfect light jacket that can balance this crazy climate change. Even if you don’t want to keep warm, a trench is the finishing touch that you never expected. In previous posts, I sport a sleeveless trench dress as a layering vest!

 

Long Fur Vest: I put a fur vest over everything. And I mean everything. On a lazy Sunday when you have a crew sweater and jeans, throw on a fur vest to jazz up any plain jane outfit.

 

Alongside these options, there are so many other basics that you repeat more than you might notice. Like….black booties, flat brim hats, chunky knits, trousers, or jewel tone work friendly bags. I want to share more options with you, which I plan to do once I stare at my closet more and pick out those pieces I would die without.

Happy shopping! xo

MKE Fashion Week: Night 3

The final night–very sad! But I have to say, the designers did not disappoint! Be prepared for a photo overload, because I went nuts over all the unique pieces.

Of course Luci Boutique dressed me in an elegant dress which I will forever love. I felt amazing! It also allowed me to add in some bordeaux finishes touches.

So here are some of my favorites from the night:

Athleisurewear!! Such a big trend right now. I was so excited to see these looks. I love the endless amounts of dresses, but these two athleisurewear lines were a nice touch to the line up.

And finally, the people who made this all possible, the MKE Fashion Show team! I want to thank Pam and Bob so much for being so accommodating and THANK YOU for all your hard work.

To conclude, it was a great 3 nights! As mentioned, I am very impressed with what these designers can create. I can appreciate someone who has passion for what they do and the drive for success to guide them.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend loves, xo Lady Bordeaux
