In my younger yearsI almost prided myself in not following trends.
But now at my age of 57I think it's important as a designerto be aware of fashion trendsto remain visually relevant.
Plus at my age
it's fun to try new ideas!
But , that said
I am also very particular in choosing trendsthat work for me personally.I want to incorporate just a few trends into my wardrobeto freshen up pieces I already own.
I never want to add new trendsthat don't speak to me or my lifestyle.
This fall I decided to add a pair of trendy mod ankle boots to my neutral wardrobe base.
I found these at Zara last weekfor a price that made it easy to try out a new style.
I added the boots to a trending piece I already owned from Zara last yearwide legged cropped pants.
Since I collect wardrobe neutralsit was easy to shop my closet for ensemblefinishing pieces
Like this new shawl wrap I picked up at Target recently.Here in Southern California wraps are particularly useful sincewe rarely have real coat weather.
I also just love the easy drama and finish
a wrap
can add to about any outfit.
I am also a firm believer in collecting accessoriesin color groups as well.That way it's a continual mix and match of piecesfor different occasions.
If you follow me on Instagramyou have seen these new glassesthat I found in a charming vintage store in Orange.
When piling on the accessoriesI always make sure to keep my hairpulled back .
I have a DIY for this hair style HERE
What ways are you freshening up your fall wardrobe this season?

I wish you love and joyas you style your life
