Fall Fashion in My Heart

Wednesday, August 22, 2012

I'm kinda sad that I'm missing out on fall fashion this year. September is my favorite time for fashion. It brings me back to my days of reading Seventeen magazine and shopping at Gadzooks for the latest and greatest styles. (I am from a rural Texas town, and we're talking pre-internet shopping, so my world was pretty small.)

But when it comes to maternity clothes, I am all about being as practical as possible. Who knows if I will ever be pregnant again, and I don't want to waste a bunch of money on things that I can only wear for a short window. So it's the basics: a pair of skinny jeans, a couple pairs of shorts, some T-shirts, one nice dress to wear to the THREE weddings we've got coming up in the next two months or so. And even if I wanted to buy fancy and ultra-stylish maternity clothes, the options are fairly limited. ASOS has some cute stuff, and I'm sure some of the flash-sale sites do as well, but everything marked as "maternity" gets marked up to where it becomes impractical for me to buy any of it.

So for now I will just indulge in a little fantasy shopping and hope that post-bebe I'm able to drop the baby weight and start buying cute clothes again. Here's what I'd be buying if I wasn't sporting a bump this fall.

I'm really into burgundy and red for this fall. And these are basically what my "staples" would be if I were one of those people who spent a couple grand each fall on buying new staples. I'm not. Never have been and probably never will be. But a girl can dream. If I do buy any of this stuff post-bebe, it will definitely be some boyfriend jeans and a slouchy burgundy cardi. I LOVE the gray ankle boots, but I'll most likely keep wearing my Esprit ankle boots that I bought last year in London. They were pricey, but I wear them all the time. Maybe the best shoe purchase I've ever made.

What trends are you loving for fall?
