fall street style trends

The weather is finally cooling off, let’s hope it stays that way! As we move into the fall season, blazers over jeans, and cozy sweaters are starting to move to the front of our closets. I love this sweater coat pictured above, it is so cozy and chic! I also love a good tweed blazer; and this pink one, as well as this black one, are perfect for fall. The pink one is a fun color which fits into the “Barbiecore” trend, and the black one is classic and chic. Love both moods!

The spring 2023 runways in New York just finished, and they left us with a few trends to think about. As we invest in our fall wardrobes, it is important to think about which pieces will be more than a one-season-wonder. Thankfully we are seeing 1970s influences into next year, so looking at wide leg pants, flares, shades of brown, bright hues, hobo bags, blazers, power suits, street sneakers, and a return to dressing up are all great vibes from fall we can look forward to in the upcoming spring 2023 season too. Love!

Maxi t-shirt dress for summer into fall

Wearing: statement earrings / sunglasses / tee shirt dress / golden ring / convertible handbag / fall nail polish / sneakers /

The weather has been so hot! Although it’s September, it is technically still summer. While I crave fall weather and outfits, it just is not feasible when the temperatures are soaring into the 90’s and over the 100’s. This maxi tee shirt dress is perfect for surviving those scorching days and attempting to look a little bit fall. After all, maxi dresses and skirts are hot for fall, and as we watch the NYFW runways for spring 2023, they are really IT for next year! Love that!

This cute little tee shirt dress is well under $50, and it’s very comfortable on a hot day. The navy color, paired with fall nail polish, reflects the autumn season without wearing heavy clothing. I paired this maxi dress with sneakers because I was running errands and doing a ton of walking. This maxi dress would look really cute with sandals or espadrilles. It is a great summer into fall dress.

We stopped at Tacomania for lunch, and it was so good! If you have not tried it yet, Tacomania is new at Valley Fair and offers street tacos, burritos, and a few other plates. I enjoyed the chicken taco plate which comes with rice and beans. It was really good! Yum! I highly recommend stopping in for tacos next time you are Valley Fair! It’s on the second level near the movie theater.

This tee shirt dress can be dressed up a little bit if you are looking for something which is not ultra-casual. You can belt it, add a statement necklace, and add metallic sandals. I chose an ultra-casual look for running errands when it was 109 outside. Ugh!

Spring 2023 color trends from Pantone and NYFW

It is New York Fashion Week, and fashion month season! The spring/summer 2023 collections are starting to grace the runways, and a whole new color palette is coming our way. Love!

Last spring/summer, we enjoyed brighter colors, and playful hues which made it from the runways to the streets. The spring 2023 season is no different. Designers are opting for bright and playful colors in their collection, which will ultimately make it to the streets, and give us a happy, bright future. Love that!

Not into bright hues? That is not a problem! Designers are moving away from dark neutrals and looking for soft grey, soft brown, and few pastels to balance out the bright hues. When spring arrives, you can store your dark neutrals, your black (gasp!), and anything on the darker side in favor of bright colors, and select pastel hues. The spring and summer seasons will be bright, playful, and not-too-serious. Are you ready? I am!

Are you hesitating about the Barbiecore trend? There is a bright pink named “Beetroot Purple” in the spring color palette, so it appears that this cheeky hue will continue into 2023. So don’t be afraid to rock shades of bright pink now and into 2023. This color will stick around for awhile!
