Not only did some of my pieces not even fit anymore, but I noticed some of them were on their way (or already) out of style. I'm not sure when they styles started shifting, but it was sometime during my last pregnancy. While I was in new-baby limbo, what was considered "trendy" shifted right under my feet.
I don't fully know what the new rules are, and I also started to realize that I'm reaching that age where I should be going for more timeless looks anyway. So I'm falling back on classic pieces mixed in with a few newer cuts, which I think is an age-appropriate approach now that I'm well into my thirties.
One rule I have picked up on (probably from this Youtube style channel, which is the only such channel I watch), is that right now your lower "half" should look longer than the upper portion of your body. See, I like those concrete rules, and this one is fair enough. I can work with that.
But you'll notice that I still reach for those long flannel shirts in the fall. What can I say, I like what I like.
(I've also heard that showing your socks is back in - all the kids are doing it.)
Anyway, here are a few of my current cozy outfits for the fall, as I've been gradually updated my closet.
A few of my current favorites have come from an under-appreciated store - Walmart! I know there are a lot of Walmart-haters out there, but I have to say, I've been liking a lot of the clothing there lately, and the quality is way better than previously. And actually, it's main competition, Target, has been hit or miss for me for the last year. Is Walmart surpassing Target for my go-to for clothes shopping? I don't know, but I did get some great shorts at Walmart this summer, and I found the tan blazer, the light-wash skinny jeans, the grey t-shirt, and the faux leather joggers there this fall. (The Free Assembly and Scoop brands are particularly good for the price, but you have to check in the store - it's hard to find certain items online.)
Next thing to update - my shoes, since the heels I wore in one of the photos above are literally falling apart. I don't think I've bought any new shoes for the last three-ish years (except sneakers on clearance).
How often do you update your wardrobe? Any new style "rules" you've picked up on?
