Fall-to-Summer Look Book|| statement looks for back to school

Hey Beauties!! I am so incredibly excited to share this post with you all.  I've taken a lot of the recent trends and incorporated timeless pieces to make some creative looks that will be perfect for the next few months & and I hope you all enjoy! (p.s. I did my best to only include more affordable pieces so most of the items below will be under $50 )

Serious obsession for all the trends featured in this look! click the product name for a direct link
  • Split paneled straight leg denim-  Zara denim is such high quality and paneled jeans I've found are so slimming with the darker panels on the outer sides of the leg
  • silver loafer- this specific pair are currently on sale for only $20!! so much love for the loafer look, they add a certain amount of class to any look
  • Blue poplin top- This top is so structured and because of that it can be dressed up or down while adding a more expensive look to basic jeans
  • pearl detail handbag - This bag is absolutely gorgeous and selfridges also carries tons of other affordable statement bags
  • Similar necklace- the original necklace pictured is from Nieman Marcus, but sticking with the affordable trend I went ahead and linked a fun alternative
  • Thigh high black faux suede boots- Obsessed with thigh highs for fall, especially if you're short like me and want to accentuate your legs. If you aren't a fan of black I recommend a deep tan 
  • fur detailed bag-  Amazing for fall into winter and already half off from tjmaxx!
  • Pale pink duster coat- I'm in love with dusters right now!! adds a cute touch to any outfit in cold weather but isn't too heavy
  • basic turtle neck top- not normally a brand I purchase from, but I have heard wonderful things and for the price you can't beat it 
  • Similar watch- great deal for a quality watch that can dress up any outfit
This look is perfect for right now as we transition to fall and I am so into the trendy pieces I featured in this!
  • Studs detail flats- These are so chic and anything with pearl or studs details has a classic touch
  • Frayed hem denim- This style has been everywhere and I think the extra frays create a great contrast against a pair of mules or loafers ( Pair linked currently marked down to $28!!) 
  • Drop Ball earrings- I have seen these in every color on every blog I follow & I gotta say I understand why!! love for statement earrings runs so deep
  • strappy camisole - I have been going for strappy tops all summer and that is not stopping now. If it gets a little cold, you can always layer with a longline cardigan (3 colors currently available)
  • black wide brim fedora- love a cute hat, especially as an accent on a fall outfit
I really wanted to throw in an outfit with a pop of color that would still be comfortable in the fall and this bag pulled it all together.
  • Kate Spade bright cross-body- It's a tad more expensive but the brand is known for higher quality and it will definitely last you longer than one season 
  • Steve Madden pumps- Absolutely stunning shoes! these can be dressed up or down and anything madden is great quality
  • round lense sunnies-  all fun sunglasses can make an outfit, but this pair from forever21 is also under $10 so they're a must have 
  • Distressed mom jeans- I have been rocking these at least once a week, not only are they cute but they can seriously go with anything
  • White tie sleeve blouse- a basic but a goodie & completely affordable!
  • Pink Tassel earrings- these earrings are so fun and can brought back in the early spring for more use (available in 5 colors)
I pulled some serious vintage vibes for this outfit which put a great spin on the classic greys and blacks!
  • basic skinny jeans - river island has great quality denim and dark wash is perfect for fall
  • flare sleeve sweater- such a stunning piece of knit wear that happens to come in multiple colors, If you decide the black isn't for you, I love the cognac color
  • hoop earrings- simple and classic detail to add to look
  • Steve Madden sock booties- These have been on trend for multiple seasons and I think it's because they're so chic and comfy 10/10 recommend 
  • guess handbag- I love how this bag has such a structured look but is still casual enough for everyday!! can never go wrong with a black crossbody
So happy to share this look book with you all for the transition into fall! hope you enjoyed                                                                                                                     -XoXo, Lily Vera
