I remember years ago I was walking around my apartment looking a bit scruffy and my roommate aptly labeling me as “hobo-chic”. With this outfit I originally was going for something safari-like (a hot yummy trend I’m loving), but I quickly reverted to my roots and produced a more eclectic look. One part wonderer with one part expeditioner, mixed not shaken. That seems to be the case with most of my looks – I can’t stick to one style. I guess figuring out how to mesh different genres cohesively is pure fun for me!
As of lately, I tend to wear a lot of skirts and dresses; girly, frilly pieces. It feels great wearing a more menswear inspired outfit – my handmade bow tie pin makes me smile, and I’m definitely digging structured button downs right now. I keep it feminine with soft curls, a glam bracelet and oxford heels.
What fall trends are you loving right now? What tips do you have to wearing “baggier” pants? And for those of you who are going back to school, have a great new year!

I love this look and the use of your white button down staple piece! I am on the look out for some oxfords this fall for sure!

You’re sweet! Sometimes I just am so done with my skinny jeans that I rebel with a loose fit love affair hahaha

I too have become attracted to structured button downs. You have put together a very stylish outfit and although I love the whole, I especially feel the bow tie gives it added dimension and creativity. Great inspiration!
