Corduroy Skirt and Cozy Knit Sweater

Pumpkin spice lattes, cozy knits, and corduroy are some of my favorite items for fall!  So naturally when I saw this caramel colored button up corduroy skirt, I knew I needed it right away!  I actually picked it up towards the end of summer at the Nordstrom Anniversary sale.  I also have the same skirt in denim here and I love it!

Corduroy has always been a staple fabric for fall wardrobes as far back as I can remember.  My mom used to sew a lot of my clothes growing up.  I distinctly remember these elastic waist corduroy bell bottoms my mom sewed in almost every color of autumn you can imagine!  Fast forward to 2016 and the styles aren't much different.  I love this two button corduroy blazer which would look great with a pair of distressed jeans and rain boots.  I also love this brick red corduroy skirt, these boot cut cords, and this burgundy velvet corduroy pinafore dress!

I'm really enjoying all of the beautiful fall foliage and pumpkin patch pictures coloring my feed on Instagram and Pinterest lately! I've always wanted to take a trip northeast to experience the fall foliage first hand!  I showed my husband a few of these pictures with hopes of inspiring him to plan a trip!  We are definitely making it a reality for next year so please let me know if you have suggestions on where to go and places to stay that are family friendly!    

No matter where you live, there are typically a lot of fun fall activities you can do!  Take your kids to the local pumpkin patch, find a local orchard where you can pick apples or pears, or just stay home a bake cookies and enjoy hot cocoa by the fire!  Fall really is the best time of the year and a great excuse to get outside and enjoy the changing colorful landscape!

Fall Leaves & Handkerchief Hem Tunics

It's finally starting to feel like fall here in the San Francisco Bay Area.  Although the days have still been pretty hot, the mornings and nights are much cooler and crisp and the leaves are starting to show their bright warm colors!

I recently picked up this Karen Kane handkerchief hem tunic in my favorite plum color!  It also comes in a beautiful blue color called cloud!  Since I am rather tall, I enjoy wearing longer length tunics.  The handkerchief hem on this one comes down lower around your hips and slightly higher in the front and back to provide a nice figure flattering silhouette!    I also love the v neckline which makes it easy to accessorize with your favorite necklace.  I have been wearing this Kendra Scott Elissa necklace non-stop since I got it at the #nsale!

I don't know about you, but when I was a kid, I loved to play in the bundles of leaves my my raked into piles in our backyard!  It's just fun to act like a kid again once in a while and enjoy what nature has to offer!  Just like jumping in puddles when it rains or having a mud or pillow fight, there's something so fun and freeing about not being a responsible adult once in a while - even for a brief moment!  :)

I had leaves stuck in my hair for the rest of this shoot but it was well worth it!!  

I brought along my favorite army green utility jacket.  It was a pretty chilly morning and I knew I would need a warm and cozy layer.  I picked up this one last year but there are a dozen current options to choose from including this similar one I recently found here.  I also decided to wear my chocolate brown riding boots (similar pair found here) and these skinny denim jeans.  This is one of my favorite go to autumn looks and you can recreate it using different colors: 1) skinny jeans  2) riding boots or booties 3) tunic or sweater and 4) utility jacket, vest, or just a warm coat.  

I hope you all had a beautiful fall weekend!  Make sure to get outside and enjoy the changing autumn landscape!  Go apple picking or to your local pumpkin patch and enjoy all the fall activities that surround you!

My Favorite Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Purchases

What were some of your favorite purchases from the recent Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?  This is my favorite sale of the year because I love fall fashion and getting a sneak peek of the upcoming season styles!  I was really happy to see that plaid and riding boots are still on trend for fall 2014!

This “Two by Vince Camuto” mixed media sweatshirt is one of my favorite finds from the sale!  The comfortable slub-jersey pull-over has a sheer woven front in a vibrant tartan plaid print and a zipper running up the side adds a little extra detail.  You will love this shirt!  I recommend you size down as it does run large and you will want to consider a base layer to wear underneath due to the sheer material in front.  I wore mine with a black tank top.

I decided to pair this with some simple black leggings and riding boots.  These Tory Burch “Teresa” riding boots were another one of my favorite purchases from the sale!  I have always loved the look of refined equestrian style and these boots fit the bill perfectly.  Sporting the iconic Tory Burch logo in gold, buckled ankle straps, and made of rich tumbled leather, these classic boots will be an easy go-to staple for every day wear.

I would love to hear about the great deals and styles you picked up at the recent Nordstrom Anniversary sale!  Send me your pictures – I love outfit inspiration!  If there is a product or service you would like to see featured on San Francisco Bay Style, please let me know.  I hope you all are having a great week so far!
