I call this my 'Freddy Kreuger' sweater, haha! I love this clear shade of red so expect to see this sweater often. This whole outfit is made up of thrifted items :).

Fall Trends: Menswear

 

I really liked the way that this outfit came together! Originally, I wanted to wear my black pinstriped vest, however it did not come up far enough to really 'pop'. Then I was going to wear my black wedges, but switched them out for my tan loafers at the last minute. It's cute, menswear-esque, and slightly college prep all in one!

Velvet Red & Stripes

Lately, I've been inspired by a few fashion bloggers. Today, I'm giving a shout out to Hillary of byhillary.com She sure can rock stripes like nobody else! Here's the inspiration outfit that I based my look off-- byhillary

I really like how Hillary combined both red & blue with stripes. Although I have a blue skirt, I decided at the last minute to rock pants. I think it came out fabulous! What do you think?

I knew I wanted to wear this red skirt today and built this outfit around it. Not bad for a day of donation and hitting up the library with my two girls!

I really want to make one of those cool collages--are there any great (free) websites or programs that you'd recommend?
