Create28: Fall Go-To Look

Can you believe it's already time for another Create28 seasonal challenge? Where did the last two months go?! In any case, Carrie, Casey and I are super excited for you to join us in creating 28 brand-new outfits for our Fall Looks challenge!

Today we're talking about our go-to looks for fall! I actually struggled a bit in nailing down one particular combination that I'm constantly reaching for during the fall. I love fall style so much that my looks are varied and it's hard to choose a favorite! It's a good thing Whitney à la mode can serve as my own personal style diary! I combed through my previous fall posts and discovered that I often pair a scarf with skirts or dresses.

Earlier this week, I mentioned that lightweight scarves are my favorite pieces to wear while transitioning from summer to fall. I adore wearing dresses and skirts so throwing on a scarf is a natural way to add interest, warmth and a little fall spirit. I can easily take this look into the colder weather by adding tights and cardigans or jackets.

I'm totally digging olive skirts lately and I loved wearing this neutral look with a pop of leopard print!

Take a look at a few of the other ways that I've paired a scarf with a skirt or dress! Which is your favorite? Is this a look that you would wear?

What is your go-to look for fall? We want to see it! You can show us on Instagram with the hashtag #Create28FallLooks or by linking-up on Monday. And don't forget to pop over and see Carrie and Casey's favorite looks! Need some more inspiration? Check-out our Pinterest board!

Blogging Besties: Olive You

Wow, it has been one crazy week and I'm happy that it's Friday! The weekend takes on a whole new meaning during the school year, amiright teachers? I am so ready to sleep in and watch a little Michigan State football!

But before we get there, let's take a moment to reflect and remember those who lost their lives on September 11th, 2001. And speaking of fallen heroes, my town is experiencing a devastating and senseless loss this week. Whether you pray or simply send positive vibes, please keep the family and friends of a fallen firefighter in your thoughts today.

I'm not sure there is a very good way to transition from these somber thoughts to a "take one, pass it on" style challenge, but here is Alex's neutral-cool outfit from last week.

I've been hearing for years that olive is a great pseudo-neutral to work into your wardrobe, and I finally jumped on the bandwagon by buying not one, but two olive skirts! I actually own the exact olive skirt that Alex is wearing, but to mix it up a bit, I decided to work with my olive maxi skirt this week!

Since I'm itching for fall but stuck in summer weather, I picked autumn-like hues to create my outfit. An orange lace tank and a fun scarf added visual interest while allowing me to teach comfortably in my warm classroom.

So, my friends, here are your options that you can pass on for next week: orange, olive, lace, a scarf, flat sandals a (maxi) skirt, or an uneven-hemmed skirt (handkerchief or hi-lo).

What I'm Wearing:

Scarf: LouLou (similar, similar)

Tank: Banana Republic Outlet (similar)

Skirt: c/o Le Tote (exact)

Sandals: DSW (similar, similar)

But first I want to see what you passed-on from Alex's look last week!

Create28: Pinned It & Did It

Carrie, Casey and I have something fun in store for you today for Create28: Summer Looks! Each one of us has put together a "Pinned It & Did It" look from Pinterest. When you're finished here, head over to A Lovely Little Wardrobe and A Little Bit of Cheer to see how my beautiful friends interpreted their pinned inspiration!

I use Pinterest for style inspiration in a couple of different ways. First of all, I have a "Style Inspiration" board for any look that I find that I love. I glance through this board when I'm in a rut, when thinking about what holes I have to fill in my closet and when trying to define my personal style.

I also have boards for "Cool Weather Clothes" and "What to Wear when it's Warm." In order for a pin to make the cut for these boards, the look has to feature items that are similar to what I have in my closet. In other words, I can already recreate these looks with what I have.

I often add to the latter two boards when I purchase a new item of clothing. For example, I recently added this J.Crew Factory olive skirt to my closet. I had been searching for olive jeans without much luck when I happened upon the skirt instead. Olive makes for a great neutral so I turned to Pinterest for some outfit inspiration!

Pin #1 Source / Pin #2 Source

I incorporated elements from both of these pinned looks into my final creation. The first pin showed me that black and white stripes pair beautifully with olive and the second pin convinced me to throw-in some leopard print!

Pardon the wrinkles, I took these photos at the end of the day!

Don't forget to visit Carrie and Casey today to see their "Pinned It and Did It" looks! And we want to see yours, too. Show us on Insta (#create28summer looks) and in the link-up below! Please link-up all of your Create28 looks from the past week!
