Falling For Prints

The warm weather has come to an end here in Rochester. It was so nice while it lasted.

Now the leaves are changing, the weather is getting colder, and the days are getting shorter. I personally am not a lover of fall. I hate the smell and taste of pumpkin anything. I'm a big baby and afraid of all scary movies. I've never been to a haunted house, hayride, or any of that October stuff. However, I do love apple cider and donuts, and love seeing the pretty changing colors of the leaves. It's time to start unpacking all the cold weather clothes. Luckily we had one final warm day and I got to wear my open toe shoes and floral pants one final time.

My outfit consisted of black and white ankle pants with leaves that resemble palm tree leaves to me. The top was just a simple black top which had a wide shaped neck, adding a simple but additional touch. I scored the pants for just $8.00 at Forever 21. This is amazing because I really needed some more good work pants and that price is amazing.The top was also a steal at just $5.00 from Sears. A perfect little basic at a perfect little price!
I accessorized with simple pieces. I rocked my black Karl Lagerfield bag. For jewelry, I put on my nameplate necklace with a thin chain. I then wore gold earrings that mimicked the leave pattern on my pants. Instead of wearing all of my Alex and Ani bracelets, I just put on two, because the pants were busy enough.

The shoes are Steve Madden and just so perfect! I ordered like 5 pair of open toe suede shoes and each had subtle differences and these were the winner! These were perfect because the heel was thick enough to be supportive and easy to walk in. However, they still had a great height to them making them very fashionable. Often with this type of shoe you get a rectangular shape heel, but I don't really like that because at times it can look too boxy. However these were the shape of a semi circle, making them much more aesthetically pleasing to me. Lastly, sometimes when you get shoes, fastening them can be difficult!  Sometimes the straps are too loose or too tight. However, these were just right! They had multiple adjustments which made me feel secure at all times!

I'm not ready to let the summer go. This outfit was the perfect way to keep a little summer, but still make a great transition into the fall. Plus, the colorful leaves made a great background for my pictures. 😃
