FESTIVE WINTER STYLE: FRINGE SWEATER AND POLKA DOT PANTS

The Steele Maiden: Festive winter style in a fringe snowflake sweater, polka dot pants and velvet hair bow

More so than big, fancy parties (although if you’re going that route – this look and this one could serve as inspiration), I find my December schedule filling with slightly more casual – though no less festive – affairs. Cocktails with friends, a brand’s holiday event, or a movie date with Adam (our local theater plays classics like ‘Its a Wonderful Life’ this time of year!). Occasions that call for something in the holiday spirit without going overboard. Because sometimes an ugly Christmas sweater just won’t do…

COZY FALL OUTERWEAR WITH BANANA REPUBLIC

The Steele Maiden: Fall Outerwear with Banana Republic Teddy coat and neutral turtleneck

Talk to me in 3 months and I’ll say I hate coats of any kind, but the first time I put them on each year? I love ’em. The coziness, the way you can play with layers, the mix of textures. Suddenly a sundress and sandals just seems like a distant, boring notion. So when Banana Republic gave me the chance to pick out a fresh fall outerwear combo for the season, I hit ‘add to cart’ before you can say November.

WINE-HUED: BURGUNDY SWEATER AND LACE SKIRT

The Steele Maiden: Office holiday style in wine-hued separates - lace midi skirt, burgundy sweater and suede pumps

I know, I know – you’re still in full out pumpkin picking mode. But to me, the holiday season starts post-Halloween next week. One of the things I’m trying my best to do is really savor each season instead of getting so caught up in my hectic work/blog/life’s schedule that they just pass me right by. And so this year, I’m planning on sharing a slew of fun new holiday content in plenty of time for you to see it, shop it or share it. No last minute scramble for what to wear to that office party or get your dad for Christmas. With that in mind, I’m easing into holiday style for this head to toe wine-hued look.

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.
