My Fall Closet Staples & Style Inspo

I love the ease of Summer and wearing dresses and rompers all the time. But there is something fun about putting together outfits for the Fall. I grew up wearing a uniform so if I’m being honest, dressing for the Fall and Winter is something I had to learn when I went to college. But then, I really had to dress for movement because I needed to be able to dance, go to stage combat, acting, and voice and speech.

Last winter, I went on a personal style journey. I have fun putting together outfits now and while I don’t think I’ll ever be a true “capsule wardrobe” girlie, I do love having versatile pieces I can wear in a multitude of ways. I like to give myself a “dress code” rather than a uniform now.

I like sweaters and comfortable bottoms for when I’m teaching. When I’m working from home it’s leggings and sweatshirts all day. But I like to wear things that make me feel good and I can move in, plus can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. It’s also quite cold where we live now so warmth is key!

I’ve always defined my style as classic and timeless with a little bit of preppy flare. I get a lot of my inspiration lately from academic TV shows like The Sex Lives of College Girls. I like a crossover between Leighton’s style and Whitney’s sporty casualness.
