Kea's Fall Fashion Must Haves!!!!

As summer comes to a close it is time to put away the short shorts, sandals, and sleeveless maxi dresses and prepare our closets for FALL!!! I don’t know how it is where all of you beautiful people live, but I live in North Carolina and around here Fall can be a little tricky. We still get the heat of the summer but a little chill from the upcoming winter is in the air in the evenings. How you dress can determine whether you burn up during the day or freeze at night. With that being said, I have compiled a list of my Fall Fashion Must Haves…

1.       Denim Jacket: I have always been a fan of a good denim jacket. As previously stated, it’s warm here in the day and cool at night.  My style is still very summer like during the day with tank tops and Maxi dresses but as the evening rolls in I just add a simple denim jacket to my day time outfit and keep it moving. Denim can be worn with any color or fabric and it can be dressed up or down. So be creative and fun.  

2.       Leggings: Of course I couldn’t do a fall must have list without including leggings. They are light weight yet they cover your legs when the weather cools off. They come in a variety of colors, prints, and materials. They can be worn casually or dressed up for an evening on the town.

3.       Heel Booties: I LOVE LOVE LOVE a heel bootie. Whether open toe or closed they are sooo cute. I pair these with jeans, leggings, or a cute dress. I love boots in general but there is something about a cute bootie with a heel that makes me happy…plus at 5’1 they make me taller…LOL.

4.       Tunic: A fashionable tunic is very versatile. Available in a variety of styles, colors, and prints. Have a relaxed and casual look with a basic tunic paired with jeans and flats or dazzle it up with a flashy tunic paired with leggings, a belt for a cinched waist, and heel booties. Wear as a cute top or a dress for longer tunics.

5.       Scarves: Now it doesn’t really get cold enough here during Fall for a thick wool scarf but a scarf can be an excellent accessory. I lean towards light weight scarves with print because I usually wear them for fashion purposes instead of warmth. A scarf can be warm in a variety of ways and can add a pop of color or style to the most basic outfit. Wear around your neck or on your head…the choice if yours.  Depending on you location, choose whatever fabric you like. You can be fashionable and warm at the same time.

6.       Leopard: To me leopard is not a print…IT’S A COLOR! I love leopard and I try to incorporate it into any and everything I wear.

 

I could go on and on but these are my Fall Fashion Must Haves. These are the items I absolutely need to make it through a North Carolina Fall season. Please enjoy and if you have any questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to contact me at keakurviekulture@gmail.com!

Like All Good Things...

Summer must come to an end! Sad face for me because; my birthday has come and gone, I must put away my tank tops and shorts for cardigans and slacks because school has started, and for most other states (not Texas) the temperatures are starting to drop and the hint of fall is in the air. However one good thing about the new season is the new season essentials!!!

1. Leggings/Jeggings/Tights 
Yep that is one article of clothing that will not get packed away and forgotten in the back of my closet or bottom of my drawer. Now instead of my blinged out flip-flops, I will be wearing wedged sneakers and flat riding boots with my various leggings, jeggings, and tights. 

2. Riding Boots
 I have had my eye on riding boots since last season but, I could not find a pair that I couldn't just live without. This year I am going to start searching early because I need the perfect pair to compliment every pair of leggings I own plus all the ones I plan to acquire. Before winter officially finds it's way to Texas I plan to have at least two pair of riding boots, wedged and flat.

3. Cardigans
It's that time of year again where I have to start layering once again; I'm back behind a desk and in front of a white board all day. My favorite teacher staple is a cardigan in a fun or funky print. I do not plan to tone down my own personal style for the sake of professional fashion, instead I find that fine line where it might to be far and I walk that line. 

 4. Palazzo Pants
These pants are my newest obsession. I first saw them when they hit the western scene a few months back and all the cowgirls were wearing them with their flowing shirts and then cinching them, at the waist, with their wide western belts. Then, they started to slowly work their way into mainstream and I was super geeked because that meant that plus size was soon to follow. These pants are amazing and lightweight and super flowy, they flatter all body types and sizes, plus it's like wearing pajamas. Since they're all the rage these pants can be worn casually in your free time or dress them up and wear them to work.

5. Belts
 I'm not sure exactly what's going on but at the moment I'm belting everything. I think it may have to do with my new weight loss and wanting to show off my slimmer figure. However, if you are like me and you're on your weight loss journey but haven't had the time to upgrade your wardrobe then belts can be your best friend. They're an inexpensive accessory that instantly changes any outfit. Got a cardigan with no buttons but you don't want it flying open all day? Put on a belt. Got a button down that's a tad bit too big? Put on a belt. Want to show off your newly flattened stomach and emerging waistline? Put on a belt. Whether it's a thin belt, chunky belt, plain belt, or blinged out belt; throw one on and watch your outfit instantly transform.
