What Do You Wear In The Fall?

 

Sweaters are a major piece in my Fall/Winter wardrobe. 

They can add the pop to any outfit. I have a uniform that consist of a cashmere sweater, checked shirt, necklace, dark jeans, and brown leather booties, Brougues, or leopard flats for the Fall.

I love the look of a collar peeking out from a pullover sweater.

Today I am going to show you outfits that include a sweater.

These are outfits I would absolutely wear. If there is a part of the outfit I would change I will tell you how I would make it more ME!! 

I hope what you are about to see, inspires you to pull out your sweaters, and start mixing and matching.

Black and White is always Right!!!

Mustard is a color that not everyone can wear, but it is a color I like to wear. 

The only thing I would change in this outfit is the bracelet, I would have a gold large chain bracelet with this combination. 

I would also prefer the leopard shoes to be without the silver studs.

I would change the shoes to a black loafer for this particular outfit, but I love the combination of camel/tobacco with the denim blue and black.

Speaking of camel! I love pink with camel. In fact I am coveting this sweater for my Fall wardrobe. I would like to add a bit more pink this year to my fall colors that I already have in my wardrobe.

Don’t forget about sweater coats in a neutral color! I have a dark camel/tobacco sweater coat that I love to wear in cooler weather. I usually wear it with my dark washed jeans.

♥♥♥LOVE♥♥♥

Look for sweaters with details as pictured above. The little zipper is just the right touch to allow the polka dot blouse to peek out.

Ralph Lauren always does a classic look. Notice the leather detail on the shoulder. 

This one detail elevates the style of this sweater to a higher level. If this were in camel, it would be in my closet!!

I have a few sweaters on my radar that I would like to add to my wardrobe this year…….

A camel sweater with elbow patches…….

An off-white cable knit sweater……..

via

A pink sweater, bright or even light will do…..

via

If you are just starting to build a sweater wardrobe I would start with three sweaters……

• Black cashmere pull over
• Cream cable knit
• Your favorite color in a cashmere pullover

With those three sweaters you will be able to make many different outfits for your wardrobe.

Something Pretty For Your Fall Home and Garden

When the air gets crisp it is time to plant some ornamental Kale. I always plant it in my winter garden. Ornamental Kale will add a sculptural shape, texture and color to your Fall/Winter garden.

In the above image you can see my Fall plantings from last year. 

I chose a color pallet of white, yellow, and purple. The soft green and white ornamental Kale was the perfect texture for this mix.

Every year I try to vary my color pallet slightly, but it always includes a touch of purple and ornamental Kale.

In 2011 I chose to use mostly purple flowers with ornamental Kale. My pumpkins will range in color from dark green, light green to white.

Kale can also be used inside your home. I like to use it in my kitchen……………

Easy to grow and maintain, so don’t be afraid to use it inside or outside in you very own home.

Here are a few more ideas on how to use Ornamental Kale…

I love the waterfall of the sweet potato vine, and creeping Charlie.

For you orange lovers!! The purple Kale looks beautiful as an accent in this window box.

You might not have an urn this large, but you could still do this on a smaller scale, or even in your flower bed.

As you all know I am not an orange gal, but this is stunning. I love the offset design using the wheat.

Mixing the purple and white varieties makes a beautiful display.

Let me leave you with a group of plants that will mix beautifully with ornamental Kale to give you an idea of what you might be able to apply in your own garden…….

You will notice I use several plants for color and texture. This is what works for me in California, and I know it will vary in different parts of the country.

I don’t know about you, but I am ready to go dig in the dirt!!

OCTOBER

   

Wishing all my wonderful readers a Fantastic October!
