This year, you might not be thinking about spending a lot on a new fall wardrobe. Whether you aren’t going out as much, or trying to stick to a budget, that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style! I’ve recently been eyeing some fun looks that incorporate spring and summer pieces into cold weather looks.

One of the easiest ways to style a pretty fall look is to layer a spring dress or skirt with a sweater and boots. I love the contrast of the warm knits with airy dresses.

You can also get this look by layering long open sweaters or coats over dresses. Complete the look with a statement boot or shoe. The key is to ensure the rest of your outfit feels weather and seasonally appropriate– you wouldn’t want to wear a dress with an open toe shoe, and then just throw a coat over it.

Don’t put away the mini skirts just yet! I love a mini skirt layered with a chunky sweater and boots. Proportions are important with this look– you should still look cozy and covered, just with a little pop of leg! You could always also do this look with tights if its chilly outside.

I hope these style inspo images help you think of some creative new pairings from the wardrobe you already have! If I’m going to invest in anything this fall, it might have to be a statement boot!
