perfect fall outfit for $50

pants // poncho // flats

Hello October! I’m grateful for a new month and a new season! It’s nice to have some cooler temperatures so I can finally wear the new clothes I just purchased for fall. This is the perfect outfit for the first day of October because it screams fall and can also be a transitional outfit because of the warmer fall weather. I recently wore this outfit to work and wanted to share it on the blog because this whole outfit (minus the shoes!) is only $50!

This poncho is great because it’s great to wear with leggings because of the length and it’s super soft. I wore it to work with work pants and was able to be cozy and look presentable at the same time. Win! Light layers are going to be popular this fall and this poncho can be worn with and without layers depending on the weather. I plan on wearing it with jeans and mules and then with riding boots when the temperature gets cooler.

These plaid pants were an amazing find for fall and can be worn so many ways! The pattern is perfect for fall and they have the perfect stretch so they are sitting at a desk all day friendly. As soon as I saw these online, I clicked the add to cart button because I didn’t have anything like them in my closet. I don’t usually buy pants from this retailer so I was pleasantly surprised when they fit so well!

work wear wednesday – ruffle cuff top

Finally after moving into our new house a month ago, my closet is finally unpacked and (kinda!) organized. I’m still moving a few things around and need to find the box labeled my fall wardrobe in the basement, but getting dressed in the morning is so much easier! For a while there, I was living out of boxes and it was a struggle! People at work were nice and said it didn’t look like it, but it was a struggle each morning to find a top that matched a bottom and then I could only find one shoe! LOL

When the new arrivals for fall at Loft hit the stores, I did some browsing and then ended up buying more than I should. Oops! But oh my gosh, this new fall collecting is ah-ma-zing! I’m able to create outfits with a new top with a skirt from an earlier season at Loft because their color pallet never changes so everything always matches. I purchased a few things that my closet was lacking and I knew I could wear during the awkward transition into fall when it’s still hot outside through the colder months of winter. One of the tops I purchased is this ruffle short sleeve top because my closet was lacking easy to wear short sleeve tops for work. The skirt is from last winter but pairs so well with the top and is a nice pop of color instead of a traditional all black outfit.

I’m wearing an xs in the top and have a white cami underneath because it’s a bit sheer. This top could also be perfect with black jeans for a more laid back outfit or a dress down day at work. This will definitely be a top I wear again and again making it worth every penny!

Casual Blazer Look

I wanted to share that Target is having a sale making this blazer 20% off. I recently purchased a bunch of items from Target that are amazing for fall that I cannot wait to share! This blazer can help transition your wardrobe into fall even though the temperatures outside do not feel like it! I wore it to work last week and it was light enough that I wasn’t sweating but kept me warm during the chillier morning temperatures.

This blazer has been sitting in my closet for a week and the weather is finally cooperating so I can wear it. Blazers aren’t usually something I wear to work but when I saw this blazer online and then I saw the price, I immediately hit the “add to cart” button! It’s easy to throw on with jeans to dress up a look or wear with a traditional office look. Blazers are an easy way to polish an outfit – especially when you wake up late and need to get ready in a hurry 😉

I also have to mention my shirt because it’s a recent purchase. My dryer recently destroyed the only white short sleeve sweater shirt that I had so I had to get another sweater tee. I’m already in love with it because I don’t need to wear a cami underneath and that alone makes it a favorite! My jeans are a recent purchase from Old Navy while I was looking for jeans that were a better fit. I’ve worn them a few times and I’m really impressed with the fit and how comfy they are! This look will be on repeat on those days I want to be comfortable but have to look nice for work.
