A utilitarian khaki shirt-jacket makes for a great lightweight layering piece, while a maroon tote adds a subtle dash of color. 

Small hoop earrings, a double-layer coin necklace (a summer trend that will still look totally awesome come fall), and a gold wrap bracelet complete the ensemble.

Outfit #2: Hiking Boots

Products: Dress – H&M, Boots – Urban Outfitters, Beret – H&M, Nail Polish – Ulta, Sweater – H&M, Earrings – Revolve, Horseshoe Ring Set – Revolve, Crown Ring – Revolve, Bag – Nordstrom, Socks – Urban Outfitters

If your style is feminine and/or boho, then you need a versatile pair of hiking boots in your closet! This trendy style, which was once reserved for outdoor activities, is perfect for wearing with flowy ensembles, as they really do help to ground these types of looks and tie everything together. I really love this chic black pair as they don’t look too outdoorsy, but still retain some of that rugged feel.

A beautiful floral dress (love the sweet tie-neck detail!) is the perfect contrasting piece to pair with the boots, and really gives off a stylish boy-meets-girl vibe. A heavier-looking sweater in a neutral color lends an air of timelessness, and chunky knit socks give a nod to the hiking aesthetic, without taking it too literally. 

A beret and saddle bag are always a good idea for those times when you want your look to exude classiness, while these sparkly stud earrings and rings subtly add some elegant boho-chic to the outfit.

Complete the look by painting your nails in a dusty-pink shade–the perfect fall nail color, as far as I’m concerned. 

Outfit #3: Snake-Print Boots

Products: T-Shirt – Aritzia, Bag – Mango, Jeans – American Eagle, Vest – Uniqlo, Boots – Zara, Earrings – Mango, Ring – & Other Stories, Jacket – ASOS

This look was actually inspired by this outfit that I happened upon while casually looking at a pair of luxe snake-print boots by Chloé on NET-A-PORTER (A girl can dream, right?). And, the moment I saw it, I knew I had to re-create a budget version of it–starting with these affordable Zara boots.
