Stitch Fix Style Challenge No. 2: All About the Utility Jacket

Alright guys, last week I shared my first Stitch Fix look with you all here.  Now it's time for part 2! The second challenge was all about the military trend!  SF sent their tastemakers a fabulous utility jacket to style pre-trip. I threw together several looks for the shoot, but I decided to switch things up last minute.  I mean, they generously gave us all a brand new fall wardrobe so why not wear SF from head to toe?

So, for today's OOTD, I started with a chic gray dress.  I layered my utility jacket on top and then accessorized with a multi-metal pendant necklace + tartan blanket scarf.  To finish things off, I threw on strappy nude heels to elongate my legs.  How would you guys wear this jacket? And are you a fan of the military trend? For more inspo, check out this pinterest board.

Oh how I love fall!  I'm beyond excited to whip out my favorite cardigans and binge drink pumpkin spice lattes like a totally basic chick (#sorrynotsorry).  What do you guys like most about fall? I love feeling the crisp air against my skin and watching the leaves change color.  I know it sounds cheesy, but it's all so magical to me.  

Anywho, I've styled another cozy look for you guys today on SS.  I centered my outfit around a fab long tank from Velvet Heart.  I've featured them on here several times already, but if you still feel unfamiliar with their brand, you need to check them out stat!  Their designs are effortlessly fashionable so you'll ooze casual cool on the daily with zero effort whatsoever.

I paired my tank with grey skinnies and threw on a chunky knit on top for extra warmth.  To finish things off, I wore boots to match and a incorporated a pop of animal print by wearing new Freyrs sunnies.

Fabulous fall-friendly boots:

Early Morning Feels

Sharing part 2 of my shoot with D. Fabio with you guys today on SS - woke up at 5 AM to shoot this look with him back in Frisco.  BTW, If this tunic looks familiar, it's because it should - I featured it here not too long ago on the blog!  Anywho, I styled a fall-friendly look for my latest.

I paired my tunic with a cozy cardi and suede over-the-knee boots for a cute but comfortable ensemble.  The boots were a definite splurge on my part, but I get serious wear out of 'em every year so it's all good.  Yeah, I pretty much justify all of my big purchases with cost per wear rationalizations, ha.  Plus, I bought them at Neiman Marcus while they were having a big gift card promotion so I got a good $300 or so back.  Keep an eye out for perks like that (ex. triple points, gift cards, etc.).  They have 'em quite often so make sure y'all take advantage. 

More affordable OTK boots that still slay (all under $75):
