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!

Fall 2021 shoe capsule wardrobe

My fall shoe capsule is here! I love the shoes this fall season. They are reminiscent of the 1990s, and everything I loved about that era in fashion.

The square toe was one of my favorite trends in the mid to late 1990s. It is a design which offers extra room for your toes inside of your shoe. This makes them very comfortable for walking and wearing all day! Love!

I also love the lug sole, which has always been in style, but is more popular in some seasons than in others. This fall 2021 season, the lug sole is extremely popular! You will see it on almost every style of shoe. Lug soles are very practical since they offer traction during the cold months when walking on ice or snow. They also withstand rain since lug soles are made from rubber, and can get wet without consequences. Plus, the thick rubber sole offers extra cushion; again, a comfortable trend in footwear.

Chains and bits are huge again this fall! The bit is a classic feature found on many loafers every season. For fall 2021, it seems to be everywhere. Look for bits and chains on your fall footwear in order to add a little spice to your shoe wardrobe this season. Love it!

As you know, sneakers are a hot trend this season. To be frank, sneakers have been a hot trend for several seasons and are showing no sign of slowing down. This urban, street style trend appears to be here to stay; and I am loving it! Sneakers are comfortable, and make days when you need to walk a lot, easy to navigate.

I love how designers are getting creative with sneakers, and I also love how classic styles are making a comeback. This fall season, look for sneakers which are classic and retro, as well as designer stand-out pieces. It’s time to invest in our sneaker wardrobes!
