Fall Wardrobe Inspiration

With fall hanging in the air, I've begun pondering my fall wardrobe. Summer is gone and it's about time for a wardrobe rotation. And while I have got loads of cute dresses and circle skirts that are fall appropriate, I'm seriously lacking in work appropriate wear. Ack! I work in a lab so I have loads of limitations on what I can wear (and what I want to wear).

I've been living in two polar opposite fashion worlds lately-vintage fabulousness and frumptastick. (I'm actually sitting here typing in jean shorts and a tank top. *gasp*) And I really want to move most of my life into some nice middle ground. Don't worry. There will still be cute vintage outfits, but I also need some cute things to wear every day.


I've chosen Mary Margaret from Once Upon a Time as my fashion inspiration. Shes' got a cute, vintage, romantic wardrobe. She also has loads of cute outerwear and fall type fashions as the show takes place in Maine (although I don't think anyone in the cast looks warm enough to survive a Maine winter).


 I'll be focusing on romantic blouses.


Cute cardigans are a must. I'm going to try and knit a few this fall/winter for layering pieces.


Peter Pan collars (and really any type of collar) are so retro looking and I want to add some to my wardrobe.

 

I'll be focusing on berets and scarves for accessories. I do have a nice stash of berets and scarves that need to start making regular appearances in my wardrobe.


I'm planning on stash busting and trying out some patterns from Gertie's New Book for Better Sewing! I really love the style of the pieces in this book!

Have you started planning your fall wardrobe yet?
