Nest Fall Fashions ~ Sarah

Sarah is our uptown woman. She’s smart, savvy and always stylish. She loves fashion, respects quality, and seeks out socially responsible companies. She understands that dressing for fall isn’t just about covering up; it’s about layering, utilizing heavier fabrics and knits, and focusing on the proportions that work best for her.

Her favorite summer dresses don’t have to go to the back of the closet just yet – this Rosalinda Dress in Deep Ruby with its warm knit and ¾ length sleeves is perfect for the fall when worn over a pair of simple black organic cotton leggings.

A pair of statement-making flats in a fabulous faux croc will take her from day to night with comfort, ease and elegance, while a touch of colorful sparkle at the ears and neckline will make her the envy of all her friends.

 

 

Skirts and camisoles don’t have to disappear just because the leaves have started to turn.  This brassy corduroy skirt and black camisole pair perfectly with ankle boots and leggings.

Sarah knows it’s the perfect time of year for a pair of black ankle boots from Jambu, just high enough to keep her feet warm without covering her calves up completely.

To finish it off, a merino wool coat from Patagonia that will keep her warm right through New Year’s Eve and a verdigris heart pendant that will keep her smiling sweetly.

 

 

 

Without missing a beat, Sarah goes from mini to maxi, with this flowing maxi skirt from Nau in a sensible and chic smoky brown in a warm and wearable Tencel.

A kimono wrap top in a sheer knit with ¾ length sleeves will keep her just warm enough without adding unwanted bulk or changing her elegant silhouette.

Simple black boots and a pop of color on the wrist and at the neck are all she needs to take an idea as simple as a skirt and top and make it all her own this season.

 

 

 

When night falls, Sarah doesn’t want to be trapped under a huge, heavy coat all night, so she picks a slightly heavier cotton dress from Mata Traders and wears it over thicker cotton leggings with great heels.

The gray and gold tones work perfectly this time of year and compliment the autumnal palette all around her, while the black leggings and matching shoes keep her looking pin sharp and put together.

A statement-making silver and jasper necklace and earrings set and an adorable fabric clutch from Maruca Bags complete the look, and Sarah is ready to enjoy her night from now until it’s time to deck the halls.
