4 Top Fall Trends We Love This Year!

Posted by Melody Ginn on

The leaves are falling, the Texas sunsets are vibrant, and the pumpkins are ripe. It's time to re-watch The Gilmore Girls...again, while I'm drinking more and more coffee. Plus, it's making me stop and re-evaluate my fall wardrobe. Anyone else?! 
Keep reading...we've got the top trends we are carrying this fall!

Cozy layers...

Who doesn't love fall because we get to wear all things cozy? Right?! 
We are loving all the basics for layering this fall and winter. From fitted tees to fitted tanks to sweater tops. With clean lines and comfortable material, you will want these for all your layering needs...especially in Texas! 
The super soft sweaters and pullovers make me want to start a campfire, grab chocolate and marshmallows, sit under the stars and enjoy a cool, crisp fall night with the best of friends.
Shop the above outfit: The Monroe Rancher, Rose Top , Deni Jean
 

You Plaid Me At Hello...

Don't play games with your wardrobe. Nothing can go wrong with the checkered or plaid look!
We have classic plaid looks for work or a night out like our Memphis Sweater Top or a checkered button up top like the Billie Top while the casual Sorel Top puts a new spin on the classic flannel. Try the Sorel Top with our Chamel Pants or a classic denim like the Jazzy Jean (by Vervet).

Get Out of The Trench...

Trench Coats are back! And we have a long knit trench coat you'll love! The Nessa Coat is a double breasted blazer coat in an oatmeal color with a notched collar and front pockets for a classic fall style
Pair with your slim suit and pumps or with your favorite basic tee and sneakers. 

Out With The Old & In With The New Old...?

Retro and vintage inspired looks are in and going fast!

Diana Von Furstenberg would possibly be drooling over our Donna Dress, a paisley wrap dress with rich fall hues and a body fitting silhouette. 

And Wilma Flintstone and Betty Rubble might fight over our Flintstone dress. I know Pebbles would be fighting for this dress! 

If you love all things retro and vintage, then shop our lovely collection of dresses here.
