Have you been following along with my journey to design my Fall wardrobe? Seamwork’s Design Your Wardrobe course guides you through the entire process, helping you create a well thought-out and curated wardrobe plan. Week one was all about inspiration (finding your true aesthetic and creating a mood board.) Week two helped me take a closer look at my media – fabrics and colors.
A beautiful fashion collection consists of three color groups: neutrals, basics, and statement colors. I already knew my neutral colors, as I am building my collection around my casual go-to pieces (jeans, leggings and tees.) Earth shattering, right? Blacks, grays & whites.
The next step was shopping my stash and selecting fabrics that will work with my plan. Here is where I ran off the road completely and crashed into a deep fashion faux pas ditch. My entire hoard of fabrics are all summery cottons. Nothing that would even keep your hamster warm on a breezy day. And then it dawned on me. I’M ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE who dash to the grocery store during a snowstorm, wearing a pair of socks with sandals. I love summer fashions so much, that I’m at a total loss when it comes to tweeds, wools, and the art of layering. I found only one fabric I could use in my Fall collection – a light blue chambray for a loose-fitting tunic, which can be layered under jackets or chunky sweaters.
After shopping some of my favorite online stores for modern fabrics, I added two adorable Amy Butler cordury prints, and a black & white graphic flannel. Hence, my basic colors are blue and black, and my statement color is a playful citron yellow.
The biggest compliment is a little share. Pin the image below!

I love the little jacket with the “ruffled” sleeves that are in the picture over the jeans. Do you have a pattern for that?
Obviously the answer is that you should just come to Florida for the winter!
