First things first: Remember that its FALL! Fall is all about playing with layers, textures and colors. So don't be afraid to try things you wouldn't normally pull off during Summer months! You want to start with a piece that is classic and can be layered with many different textures, and build your look around THAT piece! I started with the classic leather motorcycle jacket. It's fun, its modern (yet an all time style fave) and it's very easy to build on. You don't want to start with anything with too much of a defined look, as it will limit your pairing capabilities!
*Find a jacket that is light enough to toss over your arm if you have to take it off, yet heavy enough to challenge the brisk morning air you're sure to experience on your church commute.
Moving right along: Once you have your jacket in mind, you're ready to make a focal point of your outfit. Today, it's all about the DRESS! You'll want a dress that is bold enough to stand on its own but would still compliment the jacket. For this look, I recommend playing on prints. Animal fabrics like cheetah and leopard are not exactly the look we're going for though! Keep it abstract! Doing this will give you a look that doesn't scream FAD ATTACK! With a motorcycle jacket (or any shorter length leather jacket) you'll want a dress length that is at least just above your knee.
Finally: Now you can focus on your shoe! Find one that is calm and cute. You don't want to overdo it, after all you're headed to church this morning! The last thing you want is to look like you rolled out of bed and never changed out of last nights outfit. So simple and muted is the best effect for this option. I chose a pair of classic chunky heel pumps, which you can always find during the Autumn seasons because they are definitely a fall staple!
Throw in a clutch and a couple of bangles and you're ready for church honey! =)
But, don't stay too long... You have a brunch date at noon...
