FRENCH CONNECTION FRINGE TWEED MINI SKIRT

The Steele Maiden: Fringe tweed skirt and over the knee boots

This week is quickly slipping by as Adam and I prep for our upcoming getaway – so in the meantime I’m bringing you this forgotten last look from NYFW. Truth be told – I ended up switching out of these boots for these sneakers about two hours into the day. But footwear aside this outfit was a good balance of fun/fashionable and effortless/comfortable aka that line I’m always trying to walk. Which is admittedly easier done in sneakers.

WEEKEND STYLE: FRINGE SWEATSHIRT AND NEUTRAL ANKLE BOOTS

The Steele Maiden: Weekend style - Anthropologie fringe sweatshirt and neutral ankle boots

After a few dressier posts (this one may actually one of my all-time faves for The Steele Maiden), it’s nice to balance things out with a bit of casual weekend style. Most weekends start off Adam and I going on a chai tea (for me)/coffee (for him) run and this outfit  is exactly the type of thing that I will throw on and head out in.

4 WAYS TO WEAR A SILK SCARF

The Steele Maiden: 4 Ways to Style a Silk Scarf for Fall

I’ve been talking a lot about Fall trends – and while i’m all for a new season and new fashion, I also like finding small ways to update the pieces already in my wardrobe. One of the ways I’m most excited about this season is adding a silk scarf to my outfits. The obvious way is tied around your neck, but after picking up this printed Italian silk scarf a few weeks ago I’ve been finding all sorts of ways to wear it. It’s a small touch that I think makes a big impact, without a big investment this season.

FALL FLORALS: BANANA REPUBLIC DRESS

The Steele Maiden: Fall Florals - Banana Republic Dress and Lace-Up Suede Heels

During my stint at NYFW I played up a few of the season’s big trends (Seventies Style here and Bold Prints/Bomber Jackets here) – but by far one of the trends that I’m most excited about this season is dark Fall Florals. They’re obviously pretty but there’s also a slight seductiveness about them that is just begging for a brisk Autumn date night.

FALL WEDDING STYLE: MARIGOLD LACE DRESS

The Steele Maiden: Fall Wedding Guest Style - marigold lace midi dress and burgundy suede pumps

While I attended the majority of this year’s weddings between June and August, I’ve got one more in October to round out my ‘5 weddings in 5 months’ situation (you can see what I wore to the others here and here). While it’s easy to find a pretty pastel or bright floral number for summer weddings, I wanted something that felt more seasonal for this final celebration. And I’m not sure anything could feel more like Fall than a gorgeous marigold lace midi dress and rich burgundy suede pumps. Just the thing to get me excited to cross the finish line of this year’s wedding season marathon.
