Fall Fashion That Flirts

There's really nothing more fun to me than expressing a little bit of sass with fashion. I mean truly, where else can you express yourself so completely and personally. Okay, there are plenty of places but that's neither here nor there. *Ahem*. We were talking about expressing ourselves with fashion.

Now, this is a great time of year to have fun with fashion. The weather is a little cooler, affording those of us who don't love short shorts {raise your hands} the opportunity to shine in multiple layers of warmth. Sweaters, jeans, and boots? What's not to love.

This outfit is my idea of a perfect ensemble for your fall and winter wardrobe: a sweater, a great pair of jeans, and some ridiculous shoes. And by ridiculous I mean awesome. The best part? Totally doable price-wise.

1. Sweater: Old Navy Buttoned Collar $35

2. Jeans: GAP Long and Lean $59.50

3. Shoes: Forever 21 Platform Heels $27.80

Now here's where I get really sassy. Accessories. Accessories should be your best friend, mother, lover, whatever. Get nice and comfortable with accessories in your life because they will take you places you've never dreamed. Metaphorically speaking, which is I guess what dreams are.

Anyway.

Here's what I'd wear with this sweater and jeans combo:

4. Charlotte Russe: Rhinestone Ring $10.50

5. Charlotte Russe: Quilted Clutch $18.50

6. Charlotte Russe: Filigree Earrings $4.00

The sweater has a funky neck, so forget a necklace, there's too much competition. Stick to a great cocktail ring, a fun purse, and a great pair of earrings. If you don't wear earrings, it's okay, I'll still love you anyway.

Get a little daring with your fashion. You can thank me later.
