Moody Mondays - J.Crew Spring 2017 Collection
Yesterday, J. Crew debuted its Spring 2017 Collection at New York Fashion Week and I'm seriously loving everything. I really wish I was there to see everything in person especially since they decided to use friends and family of the brand to model these fabulous looks. It was pretty cool to see familiar faces in the show like Amy from @howtojcrew on Instagram and Tamu from All the Pretty Birds. J.Crew should really consider continuing to use normal everyday people in the show, since these models did such an amazing job. Have you had a chance to see the new collection yet? Well, don't worry because I've added all of the women's pieces below so you can fall in love with them too. Let me know what you think and tell me which ones are your favorites.

Moody Picks: 12 Ways to Transition into Fall for Under $50
With
Labor Day just around the corner, we all know that cooler days are ahead for
most of us. Transitioning your wardrobe from summer to fall could get expensive
if you decide to ditch all of your summer clothes. But there’s no need to spend your whole paycheck
trying to keep up with all of the new fashion trends. All you have to do is pair up a few fall
must-haves with your summer collection to create a new look and transition into
fall with style. Adding deeper colors, like burgundy, olive green and grey, mixing
different textures like tweed and corduroy wearing leggings or tights and
layering for warmth are a few ways that will allow for some of your summer
clothes to stay around for another season without spending too much cash.
In an effort
to help save you money, I’ve put together a quick guide for you with my 12 fall
fashion essentials to help you transition your wardrobe from summer to fall.
And the best part is that everything is under $50!
1. A Plaid Shirt:
There’s nothing more classic for the fall season than a plaid print. From
buffalo plaids, tartan plaids to plaids embellished with gems, there's an
option for everyone this season. Pair your favorite plaid shirt with some
boyfriend jeans for a casual look or with a pencil skirt for a stylish office
ensemble.
2. A Cozy Cardigan:
A cardigan is the perfect piece for layering all year long. You can wear it over a t-shirt or
button-downed shirt or you can wear it under a blazer and warm winter coat. A
cardigan a great alternative to a turtleneck or pullover style, especially in offices
or buildings where you have no idea how cold it’s going to be.
3. A Sharp Blazer: Blazers
are flattering on every size and shape.
A classic black blazer is a smart investment as the temperatures start
to get cooler. And since you'll wear it
all the time allow yourself to splurge a little on the price for better
quality. Pair it with a cute sundress or wear it over a white tank and jeans
for a sophisticated yet sporty look that will take you into fall.
4. Faux Leather
Jacket: A leather jacket is a fall must-have piece that you should defintely
add to your wardrobe. You can create a
basic look by adding a leather jacket to a t-shirt and skinny jeans. Or you can
rock an edgy look by adding a leather jacket to a breezy sundress. A real leather jacket could get a little
pricey, but there’s no need to fret.
There are so many affordable faux leather jackets available this fall so
you don’t need to break the bank.
5. Shirt Dress: Practical and versatile, the shirtdress is a
classic and simple silhouette that will transition effortlessly from summer to
fall. A shirtdress is so easy to wear
and with the right accessories you can dress is up with a belt and some heels or dress it down by layering
over some jeans.
6. Darkwashed Skinny Jeans: Most of us are wear white or
light-washed denim over the summer, but as we transition to fall, it’s time to
start wearing jeans in a darker wash. Darkwashed jeans work perfectly with
lightweight sweaters, plaids and a leather jacket.
7. Leggings: Leggings are one of those fashion trends that
return year after year, so get ready because you're going to continue seeing
them everywhere. When it comes to
styling your favorite pair, you can add it under a flowy dress or tunic and throw
on a pair of heels or booties to create a spicy outfit.
8. Ankle Booties: An easy way to transition into fall is
buying a pair of ankle booties. Grab a
couple of neutral color booties to pair with jeans, dresses and skirt and
extend the life of your wardrobe.
9. Choker Necklace: Chokers have made a come back from the 90’s and it’s a great way to tie
in a new trend into your current wardrobe.
There are so many price options out there likc $3 options from Forever
21 to $40 options at Shopbob. I also think this is something you can make
yourself if you have a DIY spirit. In my
opintion, there’s no need to spend too much on this trend, but I think it would
be fun to try.
10. Oversized Scarf: Bundling up from fall through winter is
vital in cities like New York City and Chicago and the best way to keep you
warm is with an oversized or chunky scarf.
This is the queintesstial fall fashion accessory!
11. The Saddle Bag: The saddle bag purse is the definitely the
shape of the season. Team it up now with a fun maxi dress for the final days of
summer and later in the fall with a shirt dress and some cute booties as the
temperature drops.
12. Wool Hat: It’s almost time to toss the straw hat
you’ve been wearing all summer aside and pick up a wool fedora! We all know
that hats are perfect for the summer, but they also work great in cooler
weather.
