Olive Tones and Open Toed Booties Oh My! Plus Size "Early Fall" Lookbook!

Hi Ladies!

Fall is almost here! At least in my neck of the woods it is. I couldn't be more thrilled! This is my favorite season, especially as far as fashion is concerned. I love layering and having fun with my outfits. You can create so many different looks with a few staple pieces. I'll be posting several lookbooks this season as the weather gets cooler. For now, I thought I would kick off my favorite season with an "Early Fall" (read still fairly warm outside) lookbook.

I really wanted to play with the open-toed bootie trend, so I have featured and styled a pair in this post. Once it gets cooler, I won't want my toes and heels exposed. So this is the perfect weather to play around with this trend. I snagged these "DV Aria" booties from Target for a steal at $34.99. These babies are an exact dupe for a well known, high end brand, and they're much kinder to the wallet, by about one third! I don't mind spending good money on certain things. Shoes or clothing that are super well made and will really stand the test of time, classics that I know I'll have forever. However, when I'm trying out a new trend, I don't want to drop a ton of money for something that may go out of style as fast as it came in. These were an awesome price and they are so comfortable, and really well made. I could walk around in them all day, which is a huge plus. I'd highly recommend giving them a whirl.

For the first look I paired them with my favorite distressed, boyfriend jeans, by Lucky Brand which I purchased at Nordstrom. Sadly these exact jeans, the "Georgia" jeans are sold out, but I've linked to a similar pair below. I wore an olive green "Pop Over Top" by Merona for Target. This top is so soft and unbelievably comfortable. I had been looking for a shirt in this color for quite some time. I kept finding them, but in a silky material, that just wasn't as flattering on my figure as I had been hoping for. When I found this hidden treasure at Target I was over the moon. It is exactly what I was looking for and it's a soft flattering material to boot. Oh, and again, it's kind to the wallet at just $19.99.

For the next look I kept the same jeans, but threw on my simple black Vee Tee from Target (Ha, noticing a theme here? I love Target!) and added my American Rag Utility vest for a fun layered look, that was still appropriate for the warmer weather. This vest has become a staple in my wardrobe. It's so versatile and really just makes an outfit. I love the olive green color for fall, as you can probably tell from this post.

Right now during the day, temperatures can still get pretty warm. I included one look that would be great for a chillier evening. There is nothing I love more than a classic, navy, skinny jean. They can hide a multitude of sins, and they're just timeless. I LOVE these skinny jeans by Calvin Klein. They make me feel like a million bucks. I cuffed the ankles to really show off these booties and paired them with a navy and ivory Breton top from J Crew. I added this gorgeous "Downtown Field Jacket" also by J Crew. Side note, I had always wanted a Barbour jacket. Well when I saw this jacket at J Crew I knew it had to be mine. It has that classic Barbour look, at less than half the price, but it is most definitely not lacking in quality. It is also olive in color. If I get too warm, I could easily remove the jacket.

Well ladies that's all for now, but keep your eyes peeled! I am more than chomping at the bit to share some layered, cooler weather looks with all of you. I can't wait to see what you do! Please tag me on Instagram if you try any of these looks. I would love to connect with you and see your gorgeous faces!

Love,
Kate
