Statement jacket. Paperbag pants. Red boots. Feeling fierce this Monday like ay-oh.

These pants are so soft, and this won’t be the last time I tell you statement pants may be my favorite trend for fall. It’s no secret I have this thing for cool jackets, and I hate to say it, but I think it’s getting worse. I feel like I have bought so many jackets this season, and I’m just not mad about it. I definitely don’t hate this one. It’s already gotten so much wear, which honestly does make me feel better about my obsession.

Fall has always been my favorite season, especially for fashion, but the last several years I’ve felt like summer came and went and I was left holding on and grasping for slow transitional pieces and pairings. This year I feel like I got to actually experience summer, even though it still flew by, and NYFW absolutely catapulted me into the all fall looks. The unfortunate part now is the Midwest weather has been completely uncooperative. Like where are my 65 degrees at, yo? Thankfully, it appears we may finally have some cooler days on the horizon.

I finally headed to my first football game of the season last weekend (how did I make it almost the entire month of September?), we already went to the pumpkin patch, and I am ready to adventure to the apple orchard. Caramel apples are for sure my favorite fall treat. Now if only this season would slow down a little, because we have a lot to cram before we’re shut in by snow.
