We are finally getting some fall weather! I met my Mom for brunch the other day, and the weather was mild. It was perfect to wear jeans, and this fun little peek-a-boo shoulder tee. This tee will definitely be versatile this fall season. In addition to casual looks with jeans, I plan to pair it with my green pleated skirt for dressy occasions. Love!

These jeans are roughly three years old. I haven’t fit into them since I originally purchased them, so it was really nice to be able to put them on! Not only do they fit, they are one size too big! Thankfully I have a new belt to help keep my pants up! Replacing a wardrobe takes time; especially after losing thirty pounds!

In case you missed my post on Sunday, this cute little daytime tote bag is from Coach’s spring 2022 runway collection. It’s really easy to wear daily, and it’s fun to have something from next season! You can read my full review here.

I hope you are starting to enjoy some fall weather where you are! We are toggling back and forth between mild temperatures and 90’s. Ugh!

Casual fall street style

It’s that time of year when we transition from summer into fall! I love the new fall styles this season. There is inspiration from the 1970s, ’80’s, and ’90’s. It is going to be a fun season mixing trends from all three decades!

I wore this casual fall outfit out to lunch last week. I wanted to create a fall vibe, yet still be comfortable in the high 70’s temperatures. This outfit worked!

These loafers were perfect for walking around Santana Row before and after lunch. The leather is soft, and the square toes offer plenty of room so my toes stay happy, and are not squished. I know, you know, what I mean!

We enjoyed lunch at Meso Mediterranean at Santana Row. If you haven’t been there yet, you must try the hummus with mushrooms. It is divine! They also have plenty of vegan and vegetarian options on the menu, so there is something for everyone! My meal was vegetarian, and it was delicious!

It was nice to enjoy more moderate temperatures than we have been having, and switching to my fall capsule wardrobe. I’m looking forward to even cooler temperatures in a month or so!

Late summer casual

August 17, 2021 in Bay Area Fashion / General Fashion tagged casual style / denim / fall 2021 / outfits / summer 2021 by Bay Area Fashionista

Wearing: sunglasses / white drop earrings / fall lipstick / stripe tee (under $50) / black hobo bag / gemstone bracelets (local San Jose designer!) / fall nail polish / snake buckle belt / fall jeans / grey boat shoes /

Recognize this tee? It has been one of my favorite go-to tee’s of the season! It’s very soft and comfortable, plus, the puff sleeves make it right on trend. The runways were full of statement and puff sleeves, so this tee is fabulous for everyday wear. Love that!

I wore my favorite tee to go out to lunch with my friend Dawn from Fashion Should be Fun. My outfit combines some fall items with a few summer items for a transition from summer into fall look. Dawn did the same thing, and she looks fabulous! As you can see, street style here in California offers up an on-trend tee paired with destroyed jeans, in a fall color, and a fabulous IT bag.

Dawn and I met at Valley Fair mall to check out what’s coming in for fall, and also to enjoy a yummy lunch. We ate at King’s Fish House and enjoyed sushi, edamame, and soup. Love!

In addition to delicious food and checking out the new fall merchandise, Valley Fair had an Instagram-ready, vintage van set up outside the restaurant. Um, did they know we were coming? We were so excited! As you can tell, we used it as our backdrop for a few pictures. We made sure to stand “purse first” so you could see which IT bags are hot in Silicon Valley right now. Seriously, YSL and Prada are EVERYWHERE on the street here!
