White and blue transitioning look

Processed with VSCO

Although it is still quite warm here in Athens, the past couple of days have been a little breezy, which is a pleasant change after a hot summer. Going out for brunch on Sunday, I wanted my outfit to embrace the slight autumn vibe, therefore I paired my favorite high-rise Joni jeans from Topshop, with a long, oversized, stripey shirt from ZARA.

I absolutely love this shirt and I was so happy for that change in the weather as it was a perfect opportunity to wear it. I think a loose, oversized shirt is a great staple piece for the transitioning period.  I love matching mine to my favorite jeans or black skinny leggings for a casual, laid back look. I also intend to get a simple white one for more monochrome outfits! I matched my Sunday look to a pair of my favorite white Adidas Superstar sneakers. They are so comfortable for when I walk around for hours and they are just the cherry on the top of  this casual look. Finally, the look wouldn’t be complete without my favorite Michael Kors navy Jet Set Travel bag (review here). I absolutely love this bag and it’s my go-to bag since I bought actually.

I really enjoyed wearing something different from t-shirts and vests for the first time after a long, hot summer. It was the perfect casual, transitioning look for me! What is your favorite look for a slightly autumny day?

THE SLIP DRESS

new1

One of the hottest trends of this season is the slip dress. Inspired by the popular 90’s trend, the slip dress is the “IT” dress of fall. It comes in many different fabrics and lengths, from velvet to satin and from mini to maxi. I love how versatile this piece is. You can wear it during the day time with a t-shirt or a shirt underneath for a casual look and for the night-time you can pair it with strappy heels for a sexy look. With the 90’s making a comeback this fall, this trend is so popular that all the high-street brands have a variety of the slip dress. If you are looking for the satin version, check Missguided, for velvet go to ZARA and if you are looking for something not as plain, River Island has some with lovely prints.

I got my first slip dress from ZARA. It is not a velvet one (bummer) but I love it so much anyways. It is a stretchy, cotton, color block dress; nude, black and some white are combined in a geometrical way to create this beautiful dress. The reason why I fell in love with this dress as soon as I saw it, is how easy I can match it with many different shoes of different colors. I am really impressed with its fit and how it falls over my body without drawing much attention to the areas I am more conscious about.

For a casual day I chose to style it with either ankle boots – mines are from TOPSHOP – or girly flats (from COACH) and with my new favorite black leather jacket (fake) that I just purchased from H&M. Just a casual pair of shoes can dress it down and create a lovely and effortless look.

For a fancier nighttime look, I simply paired it with my favorite black heeled pumps from ASOS and a studded ZARA clutch.

Adding a slip dress in your fall wardrobe is essential, as it is one of the biggest trends this season. Velvet or satin, mini or midi, go for what expresses you most and don’t be afraid to create some interesting pairings. Fashion is creativity and fan above all!

THE MINIMALIST

PHOTO 1

Although summer is the season of bright, bold and funky colors like coral and fuchsia, I decided to stray a bit from my floral tops and go back to my safe zone of black, white and grey. Those three are my favorite neutral colors, because they can be combined with any other color and you can always dress them up or down. I love the urban vibe of a minimalistic look; its clean, simple cuts are aesthetically pleasing to my eye.

I love this grey top I got from ZARA last summer; grey is my favorite color all year round and I believe that a closet, in order to be complete, should have at least one simple top in those three basic colors. I matched to a pair of skinny, cropped black pants; another basic piece for any wardrobe. This specific pair from ASOS is pure perfection as it is made from a soft, light, stretchy material and can be worn through all seasons. For shoes, I picked my favorite ADIDAS Superstars in white, because they are extremely comfortable and add a more casual touch to the whole look. For me, the highlight of the whole outfit is my little backpack. How adorable is it right? It is brand new from ZARA and I am absolutely in love with it already. Its spacious interior makes up for its small size. It can fit everything my MK Jet Set Travel bag can (my review), and then some. It has a lovely design and can be worn day or night. What I love the most about it is the golden chain strap that comes with it, so you can wear it as a shoulder bag instead of a backpack. I am telling you this bag is a staple piece of a wardrobe. Especially now that petite bags are a huge trend (see Chiara Ferragni). Although I love bold colors and prints for my summer outfits, I love knowing I can always go back to my basics and create the perfect minimal look. Who doesn’t like a few staple causal pieces that just ooze comfort and style?

THE GARDEN OF EDEN

OLA

 

Blossoming flowers are spring’s trademark. Whenever I think of spring or summer, my mind fills up with images of beautiful flowers in many bright colors. In fashion, Florals is the trend that embodies the very essence of spring and summer. I know that, as Miranda Priestly remarked in Devil Wears Prada, Florals are not the most groundbreaking spring trend; if anything they are an expected one. However, there would be no spring fashion without any Florals. Just because something is expected it doesn’t mean it is ordinary and uninteresting. I love Florals because they add a girly vibe to an outfit.  This year, designers have added their own romantic twist to this old trend by creating more delicate patterns, which in turn add femininity to a look. From clothes and shoes to jewelry and accessories, this season’s Florals have a more romantic, ethereal and playful twist. Below are some of my favorite ways to add some flowers to your spring/summer wardrobe.

Tops and Jackets

Match a floral top to a pair of jeans or shorts for the perfect fresh, casual look. Add a floral jacket and spice up even the simplest outfit.

 Bottoms

A floral skirt or a pair of floral shorts are another way to add a spring inspired, girly touch to a casual outfit. Match them with one-color tops for a more balanced look or with patterned ones for the bolder souls.

BOTTOMS

Dresses and Playsuits

For those who dream of walking in the Garden of Eden, the best choice would be an all-floral outfit, like a beautiful dress or a sexy romper.

Shoes and Accessories

If you don’t want the floral pattern to have a strong place in your look but a more discreet one, you can add a few touches with a beautiful floral bag, a pair of killer blossoming shoes or even a nice flower-inspired piece of jewelery. Viva the accessories ladies!

Beautiful floral prints on shoes, tops, skirts and dresses, are one of the most popular trends for this season. I love wearing a flower inspired piece with a pair of jeans for a casual yet ultra feminine look. I am in love with all the pieces above; I even have some like the wonderful off-the-shoulder ZARA top and they cute New Look playsuit. What are your favorite floral pieces?

INSIDE OUT-LINGERIE AS OUTWEAR

INSIDE OUT – LINGERIE AS OUTWEAR

 

ola

Lingerie-inspired looks have been around for years. Remember Carrie Bradshaw and her slip on dress or the 90’s. Wearing lingerie as clothes has been one of the most controversial fashion trends. You will either love it or hate it. Although I understand how some criticise them of being too revealing, I do like the sexy vibe they have. Matching a sexy, lingerie-inspired item with more casual and everyday clothes, is an easy and effortless way of spicing up your dressing routine. They allow you to be sexy even outside the bedroom. There are many types of lingerie which are worn as outwear. Below I share a few of my favorite ones.

The slip on dress

dress2

dress1
Image: www.mango.com

There is nothing sexier than an ethereal slip on dress. Sheer, lace or satin, it is still the epitome of sexy. The only important thing is to be careful when picking the length as a too short one could seem a bit too much. A midi, slip on dress with a pair of strappy heels is the very definition of effortless sexy. For instance this gorgeous powder blue Mango dress would look amazing with a pair of white or silver sandals. Sexy yet innocent, it would be perfect for a summer night out. However, the slip on dress can also be worn in the daytime with the right styling. A pair of chunky boots, or ankle boots and a nice bomber or denim jacket would tone it down without taking any femininity away. For instance this lovely Zara floral camisole dress is perfect for a summer day. You can pair it with sandals or ankle boots and a denim jacket for a grunge look. Just don’t forget to be careful with the length of your camisole dress as a too short one could seem a bit too much.

The bralet

bralet1

bralet2

A bralet is another lingerie-turned outwear. It is inspired by bras, but it is not as small and revealing. It is a bit longer and usually the material is a bit thicker. A bralet is also very versatile as it can be worn with skirts, pants and shorts. It channels a feminine and relaxed vibe. I love wearing bralets in the nighttime with a pair of pants and a nice jacket, however, they can be worn in the daytime too depending on the material and length. For instance this lovely ASOS Festival bralet with fringe would look amazing with a nice pair of denim shorts or jeans. On the other hand, this cute Missguided lacy one would look better as a nighttime outfit with a skirt or a pair of pants and a blazer.

The bodysuit

Another type of lingerie-inspired top, besides from bralet, is the lacy or slinky bodysuit. This is actually my favorite lingerie-turned outwear. I love bodysuits way too much! This Missguided sheer bodysuit with the appliqué flowers is simply beautiful! I got it myself and I can’t wait to wear it with a pair of denim shorts and a sheer kimono for a more toned down daily look. However, I can also pair it with white pants and heels for a romantic nighttime look. Another lingerie-looking bodysuit is this black Missguided one with the lace trim on the cleavage. This is a total showstopper; style it with a pair of plain black pants with wide leg for an elegant and sexy nighttime look.

The pijama shorts

shorts1

Apart from the slip on dresses and the sexy tops, there are also the pyjama shorts. These shorts are reminiscent of the pyjamas we all wear to sleep. They are usually silky or lacy and have a relaxed vibe. As with all the previous pieces, they are also versatile and can be dressed up or down. This cute Missguided pair of shorts will look great with a crop top and sneakers for a day look, or a bodysuit and heels for a night look. Another pyjama-inspired pair of shorts is this lovely Y.A.S one with the lace trim. It is perfect for spring and summer as it is very lightweight. I love how there is a romantic vibe to it but it can be toned down with a plain t-shirt and flats.

Lingerie as outwear is not a new trend. It has been around for years whereas it dominated the 90’s (see Courtney Love). It may be a very controversial one but I personally love it, because it is a trend that underlines a woman’s femininity and sensuality. The most important thing though, is to incorporate the trend to your life without being tacky and over the top. Picking up a main piece and match it with casual items for an easy everyday look or with more delicate pieces for the perfect sexy nighttime look. Comment down below and share your thoughts on this controversial trend and if you have any favorite pieces share them too.

BLUSH-THE SPRING PINK

BLUSH – THE SPRING PINK

 

ola

Blush pink is a color I have always loved. Maybe it’s my inner ballerina (another dream) or maybe it is the romantic in me, but I always loved this pale shade of pink that is neither too intense nor too faded. It is the pink shade that has a brown hint to it, which gives it an earthly vibe. I really like how easy this color is to match to others and how versatile it can be. It is the perfect color for the in-between seasons like autumn and spring. It reminds me of blossoming flowers. It is a sort of pastel but not really that much. Blush pink is a very popular color this spring and you can find it everywhere, from clothes to shoes and accessories. I love matching it to bronze, rose gold and silver, as these metallic shades are the perfect way to glam up a color that “shy”. Below I share with you guys my 5 favorite blush pink pieces for this spring.

The Coat

I love this loose pink coat from ZARA. It has the perfect blush shade and no buttons, which gives the relaxed vibe of a cardigan or a duster coat. It is not very thick, which makes it perfect for the warmer spring weather. I also love its big pockets, as I always like to keep my phone around instead of having it in and out my purse all the time. A really lovely spring coat!

The Top

This ASOS shirt with the ruffle hem is so cute and perfect for spring. It is lightweight and in a gorgeous pink shade. It has a girly vibe so it might not be for everyone, but I really like girly clothes and it is something you can style day and night.

The Skirt

A flowy, midi skirt in spring’s hot color, is a wardrobe season must. This ASOS midi skirt with buttons in blush is a very versatile piece for your wardrobe. You can style it with almost every color, and it can be dressed up or dressed down. I love pieces that can be worn at any part of the day without looking too much. It is perfect for the warm weather, when you want to wear a skirt which is a little more comfortable than a mini one.

The Pants

Now I am not a pants person; I love jeans, skirts, dresses and shorts but I don’t particularly like pants. However, if I had to pick a staple pair of pants for this season, it would be this ZARA pair of culottes. That is, because they combine two hot spring trends: the color blush and the culottes design. Some people think culottes are unflattering, and to be honest they can easily be, but I believe it is all about how you style them. A pair of flowy culottes is not the easiest piece to style, but with a nice flowy top or a shirt/t-shirt tucked in, they will look absolutely awesome. I like them because they are different from the usual cigarette pants and because of their gorgeous blush color.

The Shoes

A staple pieces list would not be complete without any accessories or shoes. Lately I am really obsessed with the lace up pointy flats. It is a style that has been a hot trend the past year, and I am totally caught up in this. I love how the lace up shoes can be a great alternative to the good old ballerina flats. They give a boho, yet more polished vibe which I love. You can have a very simple outfit but these shoes will definitely draw the attention. I particularly like this Missguided pair of lace up flats in blush, because of the color once again. I just love blush pink and I believe that its closeness to nude makes it a staple color to multi-match this season. Honestly, I can’t think of a better basic pair of shoes for spring than a pair of blush lace up flats.

Spring is a transitional season, where the weather gets warmer and everything gets brighter and more vivid in general. Blush is lovely shade of pink, which associates with the blossoming flowers and the earth, as it is quite close to nude. I really like this color, because it is versatile and therefore, easily styled. It is a girlier version of nude really. The 5 pieces mentioned above, are my favorite staples for this season in the color blush. I hope you enjoy my suggestions and I would love to hear your favorite items in blush or any other color you love for spring.

FASHION BASICS-THE CHAIN BAG

 

FASHION BASICS-THE CHAIN BAG

Image: www.chanel.com
Image: www.chanel.com

The chain bag has always been a statement piece of a woman’s wardrobe. The pioneer who introduced it to the fashion world was none other but the amazing Coco Chanel, who was looking for an alternative, more comfortable way of carrying her bag. This resulted in the creation of the most iconic chain bag, the Chanel 2.55. In my opinion, it is the ultimate elegant bag. It is simple and comfortable, yet classy. Not every look needs to be loud; I always believed that elegance equals minimalism. A flap bag, in a quilted diamond pattern with a double chain strap, can complete any look. Even when you’re wearing a pair of jeans and a jumper or a sweatshirt, carrying a chain a bag will make you look more put together and more elegant. It simply has the power of transformation. Another thing I love about this bag, is that you can dress it up and down. It is very versatile. You can carry it in the daytime but also at night, as the perfect company of a lovely dress and a pair of sexy heels. The bag’s success and popularity have turned it into a symbol of power, femininity and class.

Image: www.moschino.com

However, we all know that this bag doesn’t come cheap; it actually worths thousands of dollars. Even though this is a price many are willing and able to afford, there are many others – me among them – who can’t or don’t want to. However, a beautiful chain strap bag is a key piece for many looks and should be part of any wardrobe. If you long for a gorgeous chain bag but at an affordable price, do not worry; there are many quite similar alternatives at a much lower price. My personal favorite that I have, I love, have and I aspire to get in many other colors, is from Moschino. I love that Love Moschino quilted bag with a chain strap. It really reminds me of the Chanel one. It doesn’t have the number of pockets the Chanel has, but it has enough space for all the necessary items I always carry with me. It is light, stylish, simple, convenient and much more affordable. I have received so many compliments on mine!

Another, more affordable, beautiful chain bag is the ZARA Chain City bag. It is a beautiful black bag with a heavy chain detail and strap. It is very elegant but with some edge. It is much cheaper from both the Chanel and the Love Moschino ones, but it doesn’t have bad quality. I actually am really fond of Zara’s bags. I like its how stylish and modern its designs are plus some timeless pieces it has every year. The City bag is exactly that; a timeless stylish yet classy bag. And at a great price!

Image: www.asos.com
Image: www.asos.com

Lastly, another even more affordable alternative, would be the ASOS Quilted Lock Cross body bag. It is very similar to the Chanel 2.55, with the quilted design and the chain strap. Very minimal without any details, it stays true to the effortless and simple Chanel style. Plus, it is the cheapest alternative of the three, which is great. Who says that you can be stylish, classy and on trend only if you splurge on it? You can easily recreate the classy and sophisticated Chanel look with this gorgeous bag.

A plain quilted chain strap bag, is an important part of a woman’s wardrobe. It can accompany many outfits, from casual to dressed up ones. It can turn any look into classier and more elegant, without losing the relaxed and effortless vibe. Although the queen of this bag category is the iconic Chanel 2.55, nowadays there are many alternatives of different price ranges. In the end it doesn’t matter how expensive your bag is, but how you carry it. You can always look fabulous and stylish without breaking the bank. Comment down below and share your favorite chain strap bag. Also don’t forget to pop over my Insragram (@blueberrylover) and Twitter (@vickyinlalaland) to say hi!

PRETTY IN PINK

PRETTY IN PINK

Pastel pink is one of my favorite colors. I love wearing it or looking at it as home décor. It is a color that for some reason makes me feel relaxed and happy, as I can’t help but associate it with candy ( I have a huge sweet tooth ). Pink is a color someone would expect to find in a spring or summer wardrobe, however, this season it is seen at the catwalk in brands like Chanel, Dolce and Gabbana and Prada. The shades of it vary; from pastel mixed with lavender, to shiny magenta and fuchsia. With pink, it’s important to pick the right shade; something that suits your hair and skin tone and of course something that you like. Don’t go for a total pink look because you risk looking like candy floss. Instead, add a nice pink piece to a wintery outfit and totally transform it. It can be either a clothing item or an accessory!

Some of my favorite pink items are a coat, a purse or a jumper. I love my LoveMoschino powdery pink purse, and my pink woolen coat from H&M (similar) that I got last year. Pairing a pink coat with jeans and a grey jumper is a cute and perfect look for winter. In converse, I love wearing my pink purse with my light grey woolen coat by ZARA`. In general grey-pink combination is one of my favorites! I also love my lavender ASOS jumper (similar) as it really brightens up a dull, casual winter look. But you don’t have to limit yourselves to these items; you can add a dash of pink on your feet with some fuchsia ankle boots like the ones from ASOS or wear a pink dress with a pair of black opaque tights (who doesn’t love a good contrast?)

Pink is such a girly color. It reminds me of sweets and sugar. However, this season, it is a hot trend to mix pink with traditional winter colors like grey, black and even forest green, and create fresh and bright outfits. This pop of color is exactly what this season is all about. Forget the dark, muted looks and make your winter wardrobe a little more sugary and light! Pink splashes don’t make an outfit less edgy; on the contrary, they make it edgier and more interesting! What are your favorite pink pieces and do you wear them in the winter? I would love to see your pink-drop winter outfits, so upload your ootd on Instagram and hashtag #adashofpink.

GREY AND THE CITY

 GREY AND THE CITY

blog 043

Happy Sunday everyone! Today is November 1st and finally winter has come to sunny little Greece. It is so crazy how the weather changed from almost summer to total winter in merely 10 days. As someone who gets cold very very easily, once the temperature dropped, I had to get all my winter clothes and coats out and pack my summer ones away. In this post I am sharing one of my favorite fall-winter casual looks. Whenever I leave the house on the daytime, my outfit will be a variation of this look. During winter, jeans, jumper and coat become my second skin. I feel so comfortable and cozy in a fluffy jumper and a pair of jeans, whereas a nice woollen coat is basically essential to cope with the coldness around me.

Grey is one of my favorite colors in general but even more in the winter.  It is the perfect neutral, as you can match it with practically everything and look flattering in it. What is better in a grey, cloudy day than a grey, woollen coat! My beautiful, grey ZARA coat is the centre piece of this look. It has the perfect length and has a A-shape which I really love. That is because I like to wear my coats unzipped/unbuttoned and layer underneath them therefore, my coats can’t be tight fitting. I teamed up my lovely coat with a fluffy, dark grey – almost black – jumper by Pull&Bear. I love this jumper! It’s my newest addition to my jumper collection. It’s quite long and very loose and stretchy, which makes it really cozy. A laid back look is only complete with the perfect pair of jeans. This pair of highwaisted, blue jeans is from ASOS. Guys I can’t explain how impressed I am with ASOS jeans. I started purchasing them in the summer and now I am completely addicted. I like how sturdy and thick this one is compared to my TOPSHOP ones. It is figure-hugging in a very flattering way. My Public Desire over the knee boots are just pure perfection; they elongate my legs and actually even slim them down! They give a boho, more feminine vibe and I love it! I could go on and on about them but instead of dragging the entire post, I have a separate post reviewing them you guys can check out! Last but not least, I am wearing my brown ZARA bag to finish up the look. This bag is so lovely and different from the majority of my bags. It has a ladylike shape I find very cute and girlie, and its chocolate brown color is versatile and perfect for the season. Since this look is rather neutral and minimalistic, with only 3 colors (blue, grey and black), a brown bag adds a pop of color and spices it all up a bit.This look is one of my autumn/winter favorites, because it is comfortable and cosy. It makes me feel relaxed yet feminine and the colors of the palette I use are a perfect representation of this season!

MY 7 FALL STAPLE PIECES

    MY 7 STAPLE PIECES FOR FALL

My 7 fall staple pieces
My 7 fall staple pieces

I love fall so much. It is my favorite season because of its gloomy weather! I love how we move from tank tops and sandals to leather jackets and boots, all due to the change in the weather. Grey skies, some breeze all around and falling leaves, is my kind of pretty. I love the color palette of this season as it revolves around brown, grey, burgundy and forest green; all amazing colors. Based on this palette, I have a 7 staple pieces list for this season, that I will share with you guys. These are all pieces I can’t go without; they are perfect for transitioning from warmth to cold. They are versatile and easy to mix and match thus creating many different looks.

  1. Grey woolen coat from ZARA
ZARA Wool Coat
ZARA Wool Coat

What more necessary in a cold weather than a coat? I absolutely love coats. They are keeping you warm but also they are a very elegant piece in your wardrobe. Wearing a casual outfit and adding a coat on top, is my fall-winter go-to look. Although I have many coats of different colors, my favorite this year is my new light grey Zara coat. I always wanted a grey one as it’s one of my favorite colors ever, but somehow it was hard to find the perfect one. When I saw this one I fell in love. It is a pretty light shade and has a flattering fit. A coat is a staple piece in your closet as it is big enough to catch the eye and it completes every look.

  1. Brick red jumper from H&M
H&M Rib-knit jamper
H&M Rib-knit jumper

Another item perfect for the colder weather, is the good ol’ jumper. I love loose fit jumpers, as they create an effortless casual look for every day. They look good with jeans and skirts and they are easy to combine. I have many jumpers but none in a brick-red shade. I fell in love with this color as I find it very flattering on me and it is the basic color of autumn. It goes pretty well with my grey coat (mentioned above) as well as with my navy blue and khaki ones. It is long and baggy which makes it more comfortable and it is very warm. A nice jumper in a hot shade is another staple piece for this season!

  1. A-line denim skirt from ASOS
ASOS Dolly Denim A-line Button Through Mini Skirt
ASOS Dolly Denim A-line Button Through Mini Skirt

As I mentioned in another post, the A-line skirt is one of the hottest pieces of this season. It channels a 70’s boho vibe. I absolutely love this denim A-line skirt from ASOS, because it is very flattering for my curvy shape. I love how it makes me feel sexy and feminine. You can dress it up or down with heels or flats plus it goes well with the thigh high boots I got from ASOS and public desire (see post). Because it is denim it’s easier to combine it with anything of any color. Although I am a jeans kinda girl, I love wearing a skirt every now and then for a girlier look.

  1. Black jeans from ASOS
ASOS Ridley Skinny Ankle Grazer Jeans In Clean Black With Tie Hem Detail
ASOS Ridley Skinny Ankle Grazer Jeans In Clean Black With Tie Hem Detail

I am in love with those jeans! Since blue denim is quite a classic piece, I thought it would be cool this season to replace it with a black one. Black is also a staple color but not as mainstream as blue. However, black jeans are very elegant, figure flattering and perfect for a day-to-night look. This one specifically is very cool because it has the lace up detail on the bottom which makes it sexy and less ordinary. Pair it up with flats or heels, with jumpers or sheer shirts, with coats or leather jackets, this black pair of jeans is perfect for fall and winter. A must have a piece for any closet!

  1. Thigh high boots from ASOS
ASOS Kss me quick boots
ASOS Kiss me quick over the knee boots

You guys know by now my love for thigh high boots. As mentioned in another post, I believe they are the perfect shoe for fall, as they are sexy, feminine and flattering, because they slim down the legs and elongate them. I can’t praise these ASOS suede thigh high boots enough. They have flat heels so they are easy to walk around in all day long but that doesn’t mean they can’t be worn in a night outfit. They make any look very elegant! Now if you guys are not into high boots, I believe a pair of ankle boots is an amazing alternative. Chelsea boots are very lovely, casual and comfy and they could be a staple of your fall-winter wardrobe.

  1. Green saddle bag from ZARA
ZARA Forest green saddle bag
ZARA Forest green saddle bag

Saddle purses are very hot right now. They are easy to wear and give a casual and sporty vibe. They have the perfect size for day and night use. Taking a look at my winter bags I realized that 90% of them are black. And it makes sense, as black is an all time classic and goes well with everything. However, I wanted to add some color on my collection of bags and this ZARA forest green one looks amazing. This color represents fall and is as easy to combine as black. As a matter of fact, my favorite combination is wearing it with powdery pink colors or grey. Forest green is a lovely wintery color and saddle bags are a huge trend right now because of their 70’s boho vibe.

7.  Brown longline blazer from ZARA

I absolutely love that blazer! I believe that a long-line blazer is a great alternative to a coat for those not too cold days. It’s very comfortable and soft because it is cotton and not wool, but it will still warm you up a little bit. The color is amazing as brown is a perfect shade for fall and it is so easy to match with everything. It is a versatile piece you can wear casually when going out for lunch or coffee but also at night with a cute dress or skirt. Zara has literally outdone itself this year guys; I am in love with almost everything. Having an outwear piece for the warmer days of fall is quite important and a blazer like that is perfect for your staples collection.

Fall is the season where the weather is neither too hot nor too cold. Therefore, there is a need for a basic wardrobe that helps the transition from summer to winter. These 7 staple pieces are perfect for fall as they can be easily combined in order to create many looks and they represent the season’s color palette. I would love to hear what you guys think and which are your fall staple pieces, so don’t forget to comment down below and share!
