"Put on your barn coats. It's time to go apple picking." - @newyorkercartoons
Y’all know I’m hanging onto every last second of summertime. But I love this time of year because we get the best of everything. We eat pancakes and watch College Gameday on Saturday morning, and play at the pool on Saturday afternoon. It feels a little like this:
Grab your pumpkin spice coffee and let’s dive into what’s happening for fall.
Barn Jackets!
They are everywhere. This is a classic style that you may already have in your closet, and if you do, don’t buy another. A storied piece has more of a point-of-view than something fresh off the rack. I have a utility-style jacket that I will be styling like a barn jacket, but I am buying this one because the longer silhouette is more flattering, it is an incredible value, and the oversized fit is of-the-moment yet classic. I envision throwing this over my favorite workout set and instantly feeling pulled together.

Scarves
Scarves are unbelievably practical, and such a cool way to add some thoughtfulness to an outfit. For silk scarves, I’m going for bigger ones (90cm) to style over my shoulders, tie onto a bag, or wear around my waist. I’m also eyeing a scarf coat because can you think of anything cozier?
1.Whip-stitched Wool Coat (I am dead over this) 2. Silk Scarf 3. Plaid Wrap Scarf 4. Chocolate Brown Scarf Coat.
Chocolate Brown
Fold some chocolate brown in where you’d normally wear black. Feels so fresh!
1.Corduroy Trousers 2. Sunglasses 3. Loafers 4. Silk Top 5. Dream Boots 6. Blazer.
Suede
I love the texture that suede adds to outfits. I have some suede flats that feel really good for this season, and I’m eyeing a buttery suede tote and a suede jacket (this one!). If you don’t want to invest in suede, corduroy is a great stand-in.
1.Bag 2. Jacket (obsessed) 3. Flats 4. Boots 5. Blazer
Every Shade of Red
Merlot specifically is huge. I’m loving bright red as well (this cardigan! these flats!).
1.Boots 2. Bag 3. Blazer (have and LOVE) 4. Top
There’s so much more where this came from in the september issue on ShopMy! You can also shop my past month issues, faves for the moms, and my kid picks right there as well.
I’ll pull a few of these categories to style in the coming weeks, so let me know if you have any favorites you want me to play with!
