2023 Fall Fashion Trends - Flyover State & Pocket Book Friendly

Sep 4

Even though it’s 95 degrees in the Midwest this weekend every year I use Labor Day as my marker to transition to Fall!! My décor and my closet! (yes I do have two closets that I need to move clothes between!) Here are some of my favorite and not so favorite fashion trends for this Fall Season that WON’T BREAK THE BANK!!!!

Classic Cuts & Classic Wear

Oversized Tailoring is transitioning to classic cuts and classic wear. I don’t want to call it preppy but it is a bit of a preppy style.

Banana Republic Cashmere Sweater Set - $150

Red

Red remains a staple color and I don’t love it. Red really washes out my complexion, personally. Though I am never opposed to a red soled heel!! :) Here are a couple good pieces you can transition from Summer to Fall!

Nordstrom’s Rack Renee C Satin Midi Skirt - $30

Butter Yellow

I honestly hate this…it’s VERY hard to look good in pale yellow. I could maybe get behind some accessories in this color, maybe, honestly it still looks a bit like margarin to me…

Revolve Camila Coelho Sweater Dress - $170 SALE

Express Braided Strap Crossbody Bag - $55

Wednesday Addams

I absolutely love this! Black, lace, tights, SIGN ME UP!! I’m such a basic colors only girly.

Nordstrom’s Rack Ted Baker London Lace Neck Dress - $99

Leather

For what I feel is the 8th season in a row…I am getting a bit tired of this. Maybe because my pregnant butt really doesn’t look great in a leather skirt anymore.

Revolve
L’Academie Vest - $178
L’Academie Short - $168
Tony Bianco Heeled Boot - $360

Express High Waisted, Mid Length Skirt - $47

Sherpa Lined Coats

I don’t love this trend but really can’t put my finger on why that actually is…

***NOT Cost Friendly*** Nordstrom Stand Studio Long Faux Shearling Coat - $725

Duvet Coats

Definitely enough coat here to keep you warm in those flyover state winters…

Peplum Tops

I should have kept all those peplum tops from college because here they are again! I am not an educated fashion advisor by any means, simply a consumer, but I would guess this is just the introductory season for peplum tops. We’ll likely see these again come next Spring/Summer of 2024.
