Create28: Fall Colors and a Link-Up

Happy Monday and welcome to the first link-up for Create28: Fall Looks! We hope that you've joined us in creating new outfits using our seasonal prompts and we want to see what you've come up with. You can find the link-up below but first, let's talk about fall colors!

Fall colors can encompass such a wide variety of hues, but my favorite colors this time of year are deep, bold and dark. I know that I can wear this plum dress any time of the year but the rich color just begs to be worn when the leaves finally start changing. My natural inclination was to reach for my mustard cardigan (a fall closet staple, in my opinion), but then I realized that I'd worn that combination before. And this is Create28, meaning I really want to find some new combinations hiding in my closet.

This teal cardigan gets love all year-round but when I paired it with the plum dress, I knew I'd found a great fall color combination! Metallic accessories added a perfect pop of warmth and interest.

I love that the Create28 prompts can be flexible! What fall colors will you choose to wear today? Will you stick with Pantone's fall colors or will you pick a combination that shouts fall just to you? Make sure that you pop over to Carrie and Casey's blogs to see which colors they've chosen!

What I'm Wearing:

Dress: Target (similar, similar)

Cardigan: LOFT Outlet (similar, similar)

Tassel Necklace: LOFT (similar, similar)

Flats: DSW (similar, similar)

Don't forget to check back tomorrow because I'll be talking about some of the comfiest footwear of the season: moccasins!

And now it's time for that link-up I promised!

Create28: My Graphic Tee Look

Welcome back for Day 2 of Create28: Lovely Summer Looks! Today it's my turn to show you one of my favorite ways to style a graphic tee!

Graphic tees are a great way to express your personality or interests (like my love for Hop Cat in East Lansing) through your clothing. On top of that, there are so many ways to style a graphic tee. You can wear one simply with a pair of skinny jeans or boyfriend shorts. For a little bit of interest, you can add a vest or cardigan. If you want a more glamorous look, add a sparkly necklace and a pair of heels!

I really like to create a feminine look by wearing a graphic tee with a skirt. However, when I was putting this outfit together, I felt like I had exhausted all of my skirt pairings. Where did I look next? To my dresses! If you aren't feeling excited about your skirts, try layering a shirt over dress to create a faux-skirt look! When I wore this outfit to a get-together with friends, a girlfriend of mine complimented me on my skirt...so I think I pulled this one off!

Need some more inspiration? Take a look at my graphic tee Pinterest board:
