Denim pencil skirt outfit ideas: denim pencil skirt / statement earrings / black long sleeve tee / stripe tee / blue tee / pendleton sweater / striped sweater / classic black belt / fall nail polish / black shoulder bag / green shoulder bag / black hobo bag / small black baguette / small brown messenger bag / lug sole boots / western style black boots / mary janes /

How cute is this long, denim pencil skirt! There are so many outfit ideas surrounding this pencil skirt, the options are endless! When the weather is still warm, during the early part of the fall season, pairing this denim pencil skirt with a long sleeve tee is easy and chic. It looks fabulous with a small shoulder bag, hobo bag, or your favorite daytime tote. When the weather cools down later in the season, top the skirt off with a sweater!

Instead of wearing jeans everyday, the denim pencil skirt offers a casual and comfortable option which is slightly dressier than traditional jeans. Love that!

There are many denim pencil skirts on the market right now, but I love this one since it has a dark wash, soft denim fabric, and two slits instead of one. Most of the skirts we are seeing right now have one slit, I prefer two. This gives you more room for walking and since there are two slits on the side instead of one in the front, this skirt is much easier to sit in! haha

Fall 2023 capsule wardrobe

Fall 2023 capsule wardrobe from left: Pendleton sweater / wide leg jeans, medium wash (old, also love this pair) / black flares (old, also love this pair) / denim pencil skirt / black long sleeve tee / classic black belt / stripe sweater /

Is it fall yet? I am so done with summer weather; fall cannot come soon enough! That being said, I am all set for fall! This autumn season, casual style is classic style. We are seeing timeless Pendleton sweaters, stripes inspired by nautical design, and denim which is being shown in classic, wide leg, and flare cuts.

I am a sucker for sweaters, so when I spotted this thick and cozy Pendleton sweater for fall, I knew I needed it in my life! It is a classic beige hue with a touch of red which will make it easy to wear with a fall color palette. It is definitely the hero piece of my casual fall capsule wardrobe for the fall 2923 season! Love!

In addition to sweaters, the denim pencil skirt is hot, which is fabulous because I am all about casual style. In early fall, when temperatures are still warm, this denim pencil skirt will pair well with my stripe sweater and loafers. Then, when temperature drop as fall moves on, it will look fabulous with boots and this Pendelton sweater over a long sleeve tee. The skirt will also translate into winter style! I plan to pair it with winter boots and my puffy black jacket, which you will see in the winter season!

How to shop your closet for fall 2023

how to shop your closet for fall 2023

It is that that time of year again when fall starts hitting store shelves! This means you may have the urge to start stocking up on all the shiny new fall merchandise popping up everywhere. Before you dive right in, make sure you aren’t duplicating what you already own! The first thing you need to shop for fall is your closet!

If you are wondering how to shop your closet for fall 2023, you have come to the right place. Shopping your closet can be just as much fun as shopping in a store. You never know what you might find! So, block your calendar, make sure your air conditioner or fan is hitting your closet and get to work.

The first thing you want to do in your closet is empty out anything you don’t wear. If this seems overwhelming, do it in steps. I also sort my shoes first, then my clothing. This seems to make it easier. If you have any shoes which hurt your feet or you are wondering why in the world you own them, decide if they have resale value or if they should go in the donation pile. Then, start pulling the shoes forward in your closet which are hot right now and in style for the fall season.

What to look for in your closet when it comes to shoes. Western style footwear is still hot, so bring them back out from the back of your closet. Also pull out your Mary Janes, Ballet Flats, Classic Loafers, Lug Sole Boots, Classic Pumps, Street Sneakers, and utility style boots. Everything else can be stored in the back of your closet for a future season.

Now let’s sort clothing! Again, pull out anything that doesn’t fit correctly, or you don’t like anymore. Sort them into a donation pile and resale pile. Then, let’s rotate your closet!

If it seems daunting, go in this order. Start with your denim collection. Rips, tears, and heavy distress are over. Pull forward your wide leg jeans, flare jeans, straight leg jeans, and trouser leg jeans. You can keep your favorite skinny’s but put them at the bottom of the denim pile or store them in the back of your closet. Looser denim styles are still trending for fall 2023. Autumn colors are trending too. If you have shades of brown, black, or burgundy, pull those jeans out too.

Talking about pants, let’s keep going! For your non-denim pants, look for classic cute, straight leg, and wide leg. Again, skinny styles should get stored. Trousers paired with a blouse or sweater are hot for fall both in the workplace and on casual days paired with street sneakers. Pull those styles forward!

Speaking of sweaters and shirts, they are both hot for fall and well into winter. You can wear cropped sweaters, oversized sweaters, cardigans, turtlenecks, all of the above! If you have sweaters which look worn or were discovered by moths, recycle them, otherwise, pull forward your favorite sweaters and rock them this fall. Button down shirts worn loosely and oversized are also hot for fall. Pull those shirts forward too!

Powersuits are still hot. Keep your power suits and keep rocking them this fall!

Also, tweed blazers over jeans are still hot this fall season, so keep those in the front of your closet to wear instead of outerwear when the weather is mild or cool. Love them!

When it comes to outerwear, look for trench coats in your closet, peacoats, and the jackets you wear on the ski slope. Outerwear is being shown in both fun colors and neutrals, so enjoy!

Handbags are staying anonymous and when it comes to size, anything goes. Look for high quality investment bags, hobo bags, shoulder bags, totes, and Lady Bags in your closet. Pull them forward and store your logo bags.

One of the big trends coming up for fall is the pencil skirt. You might have some in the back of your closet, if so, bring them forward! Denim pencil skirts are hot too!

Look for the fall IT colors in your closet as well. In addition to neutrals and black, look for shades of red, green, and pink.

There you have it! Found any holes in your wardrobe? Start your shopping list and stay tuned for my fall 2023 trend report coming up soon!
