Let’s talk about FALL!  A two-day glorious cold front hit Austin this past weekend and we all started assessing our fall essentials.  While September cold fronts come and go, they should at least jump start your season closet update.  This fall, there are two things that you should definitely add to your wardrobe: a great pair of ankle boots & an awesome vest for layering.

Ankle boots are your new best friend for the fall, just wear them in place of  your summer, sandals, espadrilles, pumps, or flats.  Effortless style, instantly.  They pair perfect with jean shorts, dressy shorts, dresses, skirts, rompers, jumpsuits, skinny jeans, leggings, and more.

And let’s talk about vests for a second.  Vests are one of the greatest layering accessories you could possibly own.  If you haven’t experimented with vests before, fall is the perfect time to try.  Challenge yourself to throw a vest on something you normally wouldn’t…you might surprise yourself.  They can be layered over almost anything.  You’ll look cool, collected, and current.

Update for fall & go on with your bad self!
