One of my favorite fall buys is this green lantern sleeve sweater from Amazon. I got it months ago, with the idea of wearing it exactly as pictured. You may remember it from this post. It’s a steal and a great way to incorporate some green this fall and winter season (it comes in red too!). However, I had a vision for this outfit (picture a quaint local cider mill in the background!) but the weather just wouldn’t cooperate. By the time the date I had planned on sharing it had come and gone, I realized I needed to just get out there and get it posted.
I’m not in love with these photos (it was wet and dark!), but I am in love with a lot of the pieces in this outfit, so let me tell you about some of my favorite fall buys.

A Great Pair of Black Skinny Jeans
THESE black skinny jeans were a purchase from an Express 40% off sale. I have looked for a good pair of black skinny jeans for a long time and THESE are perfect. Over the month of August I tried on pair after pair of Express jeans since so many of my favorite bloggers were recommending them, but high-rise jeans do NOT look good on me. Once I stopped trying to buy what everyone else was buying and started trying to find a style that would look good on me, I found these mid-rise black skinny jeans. They’re fab and though the fabric isn’t as thick as I usually prefer, the fit is awesome and they go perfectly with my taupe OTK boots (last seen here).
Gucci Belt Dupe
When the first Gucci belt dupe hit the blogosphere last winter, it wasn’t in the budget (even though it was so affordable) and then it was sold out. So, when I spotted the one shown here (Update: 11/20/19 – I can no longer link it for you since it has been removed), I knew I had to grab it. I’m the first to admit that I don’t know what the real one looks like, but I love the statement this makes, especially against the black! There’s just something fun about gold against a black background!
Target Fisherman Hat
I’ve mentioned before (here) that Target is my go-to place for trendy hats. They’re affordable and cute. When the baker boy/fisherman hat trend hit this fall, I knew I wanted to try it at a reasonable price and I found THIS beauty for only $10! Score! I rounded up some similar items for you in the widget below.
Taupe Over-the-knee Boots
THESE taupe boots were a late-winter, early-spring buy and I don’t regret it at all. The low, block heel makes them extremely comfortable for boots and since they are tight all the way up past the knee, they’re warmer than you might think! My favorite way to wear them is with white skinny jeans but they have made their way into the rotation for fall. I have paired them with a leather mini-skirt and the black skinny jeans pictured here. I added the scarf and purse to tie in the taupe.

It’s true! Amazon has some great pieces but man…to find the good deals you sometimes have to DIG! Kristin over at Countdown to Friday is an EXPERT at Amazon finds. She needs to teach us her magic!
This is such a chic look! Love the color of your sweater and those OTK boots!

It is a pretty great find! I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted in my price range elsewhere so I thought, what the heck?! Check Amazon! Sure enough, they had just what I was looking for! Thanks for stopping by Lee!
What a fun cosy top! I like the statement balloon sleeves and the green is lovely on your. The cute scarf tied to your bag is an adorable touch too 🙂
Hope that you had a great weekend 🙂 We had a quiet and relaxing one here.

Thank you Mica! The scarf was totally a last-minute idea to tie in the beige but I love how it turned out and I need to remember to do it more!
Those are all such great finds! I love the boots especially, and the way you added your scarf to your bag for extra interest. I never remember to do that although I always love the look–I’m making a mental note to tie a scarf to my bag soon.
Haha! I always forget to add a scarf too! This time it was only because I kept standing in front of the mirror trying out things that what would tie the beige in to the rest of the outfit and I finally remembered a scarf! lol, see it enough times and you’ll remember! Thanks for stopping by Shea! 🙂
Love the green sweater. I’m really liking green this season and it’s really cute with the blousy sleeves.
Thanks Julie! I’m loving all the emerald this year too!
I think these photos turned out perfect! I love your baker hat and you look so pretty with it on and that Gucci belt looks amazing – I need to get my hands on one! We will have my family over for Thanksgiving tomorrow then we will head over to my hubby’s side of the family on Friday. I can’t wait for all the food and goodies. Hehe Wishing you a happy Thanksgiving!

Oh that sounds like such a fun couple of days! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday for all the yummy food and relaxed time with family! Wishing you a very happy Thanksgiving with your family Maureen!
That hat is so cute on you but that sparkly necklace is was stand out the most! It’s just gorgeous!

Thank you so much Ruth! It’s funny you mention the necklace because I almost didn’t wear it for the outfit. In real life I still rock a good statement necklace because I ADORE statement necklaces like this one. But I keep wondering to myself if I should stop! I don’t see statement necklaces (or even square, plaid blanket scarves) on the top bloggers anymore. This outfit needed something though, because there was just too much open space up top and I gave in and pulled out my statement necklace (which I wanted to wear anyway!) even if it is not “in” right now. I feel like there is a blog post in this topic, haha. Suffice it to say, I’m glad you approve 🙂
