FALLing for Black and Blue

Hello Hello!  I don't know about all of you, but I am excited for fall!  Even though I love warm weather, there is something about the turning of the leaves and the crisp, cool air that adds a little pep to my step.  And of course, I love fall fashion!  I'm a happy girl anytime I can live in sweaters, scarves and boots...until, that is, the weather drops enough for snow to cover the ground.  Okay, let's get into the outfit...after all, that is the reason you're here :)  I hope you enjoy!

                                                   



First of all, I don't think you can ever go wrong with a leather jacket.  A leather jacket, especially in the color black, is a staple piece that should be in every girl's wardrobe.  If you are able, it is best to invest in a quality jacket (Express has good leather-like jackets priced around $100).  There are leather jackets out there that are more affordable, just make sure they don't look cheap and "shiny."  Also, Marshall's and TJMaxx are GREAT places to look.  In fact, I purchased my jacket from Marshall's a few years ago (price information is listed at the bottom).  

The top I paired with the jacket is a royal blue high-low collared blouse (sleeveless).  I think the jacket helps to add an edgy look to a more conservative shirt.  I absolutely LOVE black and this color blue paired together...especially for the cooler months.  

Moving on to the bottom half...  The pants are from JCrew and the boots are from Nine West.  Again, I think the boots add an edgy feel to the outfit and compliment the jacket.  Being the pants are from JCrew, they are definitely on the pricey side.  Black skinnies, luckily, are not hard to find...try Forever 21 for a more affordable alternative.   

As far as jewelry goes, I did not add any in this picture.  However, I would suggests maybe a silver necklace and a cocktail ring...keep it simple.
