When it comes to everyday style, there are just certain fall outfits that continue to make an appearance year after year. I try to incorporate a few new pieces every year, but my motto when it comes to getting dressed during this season is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" Today I'm sharing my top 4 staple outfits that you can recreate year after year!

Canal Walk Comfort

One of my goals for 2016 was to explore one new place in Richmond a month. This month's location is the Canal Walk in the downtown area. It's super close to Belle Isle, which I love, so I couldn't believe I hadn't poked around this area before. It was nice to just take my time walking and reading all of the interesting signs all over the place. I would love to revisit the area when it's a little warmer outside and walk around a bit more.I took quite a few pictures to document the trip which you can find on my Flickr. If you're more interested in what I wore to keep warm on this freezing trip then keep reading!

Fun with Flannel

Who doesn't love a good, comfy flannel this time of year? I know I do! These babies are so versatile - you can wear them under a vest, sweater, or dress for additional warmth or tied around your waist as an edgy, yet functional accessory. My tip for buying flannels: check out the men's section! The buffalo check flannel I wore in my Edgy Friendsgiving look came from the men's department of H&M. They ran out of my size and I was lucky enough to spot it as I was browsing. It was even cheaper than the women's version! Keep reading to see where I found this awesome flannel shirt!

On the Hunt

Navy and grey has to be one of my most favorite color combinations ever. The colors go with almost anything, why not combine them? I wore a similar color scheme in my 50 Shades of Grey outfit post, which also featured this J. Crew Factory herringbone vest! My top is an oldie, but goodie from my Fall is Coming post. 

I wore this outfit for a walk to the library and exploring Randolph-Macon's gorgeous campus with my boyfriend. Can you believe I've lived in this town for a year and hadn't explored the grounds?! I've made a promise to myself to get out and explore the city more in the New Year. We walked along fraternity row and admired the houses we thought only existed in movies and TV shows. I can't wait to explore more of the campus in the upcoming months. The school has an amazing Southern feel about it. It's such a small, intimate campus nothing like my old school. The only thing they have in common is the colors!

My Hunter boots are a Christmas gift to myself that I couldn't resist opening early! I got such a good deal on them during Revolve's Black Friday sale (They ended up being $105!). The weather is calling for rain this week so they came just in time. They're surprisingly comfortable too! Combined with my knee-high socks, they kept my feet nice and warm. I chose to get the matte version of these boots because they seemed like they wouldn't get scratched as easily. Don't get me wrong, I would still love a pair of red gloss Hunters to add a pop of color to any outfit. Thanks for reading and enjoy your Thursday!

Holiday Outfit Series - Day 4: Keep It Casual

It's Day 4 of the Holiday Outfit Series. (1 more to go, sob!) If you haven't seen the previous outfits from this week you can check them out here. Today is all about keeping it casual because at the end of the day Thanksgiving is all about spending time with family and remembering all the little things we're thankful for. This year I'm thankful for my awesome family and everything we do to support each other. Keep reading to see my casual outfit for spending time with family!

This shirt from Fashion Forward Boutique is so soft I could sleep in it. It has the cutest suede-like patches on the elbows that are right on trend. This is my 3rd look this week featuring a vest, but I couldn't resist this beauty from J. Crew Factory. (It was only $58 during their Friends & Family sale!) All the jewelry is from my latest Rocksbox and I'm seriously considering buying all 3 pieces. I love them all that much!

What are you most thankful for this Thanksgiving? Let me know in the comments below! Happy Thursday!

Holiday Outfit Series - Day 2: An Edgy Friendsgiving

Welcome to Day 2 of the Holiday Outfit Series! Yesterday's post on a Traveling Thanksgiving was all about comfort. Today is about looking like a rockstar while attending a cozy Friendsgiving. I'm so proud of this look because I kinda came up with it at the last minute and I think it looks fabulous. I'm a huge procrastinator and I do my best work under pressure haha.

Last year my friends hosted our first annual Friendsgiving and it was so much fun! It was a potluck and everyone brought a dish and we sat around and talked and played Cards Against Humanity. This year is my turn to host and I'm super excited to have all my friends over for a party. Today's outfit is a bit like my group of friends - edgy, preppy, and stylish! The buffalo plaid and herringbone vest seemed like an easy way to introduce pattern mixing and I decided to keep the bottom simple with all black. I think this outfit would also be nice with a pair Timberland boots and a beanie for a bit of masculine edge. What would you wear to a Friendsgiving party with all your closest pals?

Holiday Outfit Series - Day 1: A Traveling Thanksgiving

Every day this week I'll be sharing outfits inspired by Thanksgiving! Its my first time trying something like this so I'm super excited to share all of my outfit ideas with you. Make sure you check back everyday this week for an outfit suitable for any Thanksgiving activity!

Since I've moved I have to travel about 2 hours to get home for Thanksgiving, which isn't terrible if I leave the night before or super early in the morning. I love to make playlists for the drive and jam out as I zoom down I-95 South. I also love to be comfortable which is why I chose this dress! It's so stretchy and soft and perfect for sitting in a car for long periods of time. It's a little drapey and oversized around the middle, great for stuffing yourself with delicious food and still looking great. If you're worried about it being extra chilly, a cute peacoat and tights would also look great with this. What's your favorite outfit for traveling? Tell me in the comments below and have a great Monday!

Save vs Splurge - Puffer Vests

I've officially deemed Sundays as Save vs Splurge Sundays! That means a new Save vs Splurge post every Sunday PLUS a Truly My Way post!! If you couldn't tell about by the amount of exclamation points I'm super excited about all the new content coming to the blog. In fact, I'll be starting an awesome new series tomorrow so check back then to see what it is!

This week's Save vs Splurge is all about puffer vests! They provide just the right amount of extra warmth when you don't want to wear a jacket or coat. I love layering them over flannels, sweatshirts and long sleeve tees when I can't be bothered to decide on outerwear. I'll be comparing two great options, one from J. Crew Factory and the other from Old Navy. Keep reading to see my top pick!

Plaid + Herringbone + Duck Boots

This outfit features two of my favorite combinations for fall - plaid and herringbone. This plaid flannel shirt is one of my autumn staples and I swear I wear it every week! My vest is the infamous J. Crew Factory herringbone vest in black. I previously wore the Steely Gray version in my 50 Shades of Grey outfit post (Please check that out if you haven't already!). I heard rumors J. Crew was bringing this color back for fall and I was super happy to check the site and find it listed. I immediately scooped one up and I've been in love with it ever since. These Sperry Saltwater duck boots were perfect for the rainy weather we've been having lately. They're so warm and comfy and I plan on wearing them all fall/winter long! What's your favorite way to style a vest or duck boots for fall? Let me know in the comments below!
