Look everyone, I don’t want to say it, I don’t want to think about it, and I certainly am having a hard time getting into dressing for it, but fall is here. I can tell because as I look out my bedroom window, it’s pouring rain – classic Vancouver weather. So let’s do it, even though I don’t want to, let’s talk fall style.
Every time the seasons shift I have a mini-meltdown because I suddenly hate all my clothes for no good reason – my favorite way to combat that feeling is just to throw on a big cozy sweater and call it a ~look~. On Friday, I had the pleasure of attending the Vancouver Public Library’s media opening of the new rooftop garden and I seized the opportunity to dress in the coziest outfit possible.
Sorry-not-sorry but everything in this outfit is from last season or earlier – however, I linked some similar items for you guys to shop that are currently available.
This look is actually a maxi dress from H&M with a big ol’ sweater from Zara layered over top. I was doing my best to emulate the trend of sweaters layered over midi or maxi bias cut skirts that’s really big right now. I don’t have any skirts in a silky or satiny fabric, as that’s what seems to be trending right now, but I took my best swing at the trend. I love that this maxi dress has slits up the side so I can walk more easily and so that my outfit looks a little less block-y. I think this look would be better served with a slightly more cropped sweater, but this one is cozy, cuddly, and perfectly oversize so I’m not too mad at it.
To finish off this very fall look I tossed on a very very dark red lipstick by Too Faced – which looks black in literally every photo I’ve ever taken while wearing on it – and my very under loved Matt & Nat backpack. Voila – a fall ~look~ that I already had in my closet.
