What to Wear: Fall Layers

It’s time for another What to Wear Wednesday, and today I want to talk about layers! Fall is hands down my favorite time of year for so many reasons, but one reason I love fall is I love all the layering options you have this time of year. You can do scarfs and sweaters and boots and boot socks and leggings and the list goes on and on. So as per usual with my What to Wear Wednesday posts – I’m going to show you some super fun options to accessorize your outfits this fall!

Simple Fall Base Outfit

 

We’re just going to start with a very simple base outfit. Something any gal should have in her closet. A pair of blue jeans and a white tshirt. From here – I’m going to show you how you can use layers to build different options without every changing this base outfit.

Fall Base Outfit - Layer Option 1

 

Here you can see we’ve added just a couple things. I cute pair of ankle boots and a mint colored infinity scarf. Scarves are one of my favorite additions to an outfit for a couple reasons. First it gives you a great and easy way to add a splash of color to any look. And second, with portraits it gives you something you can interact with to get you more variety in your session.

In this look you can see we have a lot of the same things from our previous option. We used the same boots and scarf but we added that soft brown plaid button down. I love how the muted tons in the plaid shirt match the feminine tones of the scarf. It ties the brown color of the boots together and lets the scarf be the pop of color in this outfit.

Okay so back to that same base outfit – the white tshirt and jeans. Only this time we’re going to put on a nice warm grey leather jacket and pair it with these cute matching grey boots. Add a bit of fun to the outfit by wearing a long pendant and this simple layered look is good to go!

Or take this same look and swap out the necklace for a cute blush scarf. The pale color of the scarf softens this edgy leather look and gives it a touch of femininity. Also the scarf is the only pop of color in this look so it really brightens the whole outfit up to add a more fun feel to it.

Let’s go back to our base outfit again. White Tshirt and Jeans. For something a little more Cozy and seasonal, how about layering it with this cute charcoal grey fringed and matching flats. If you’re getting your portraits taken somewhere where there’s going to be a lot of lovely fall color – this look would be perfect!

And we’re back to our base outfit again. This time I thought it would be cute to add this sweet mint polka dot cardigan and a pair of super cute grey suede wedges. This is a super girly and modest look I just love!

And last but not least take that same outfit we just created but add a blush fringed scarf to give it a whole new look! It takes this outfit combo from dressy to casual really quick!
