FALL OUTFIT FORMULA — This fall outfit formula will NEVER fail you – guaranteed. I was pinning on Pinterest when I ran across one of my old pictures from 2016. See the original post here.
My first thought was, “Wow, that’s a cute outfit!” I could wear that tomorrow.”
A plaid scarf will never go out of style. Neither will a classic structured handbag. I still have this red one in my closet from 4 years ago. If you’ve been with me since the beginning (2016), you are sure to recognize it as it always pops up here and there in fall and winter.
The cool thing about this outfit is that you probably have all the pieces in your closet already – SCORE! If you’re in need of some of these basics, see my shopping options below. I looked for classic, versatile styles you can wear every day. These are great pieces to invest in so some of the options are on the “splurge-worthy” side.
FALL OUTFIT FORMULA
- Your best fitting jeans.
- A flattering tee shirt in a neutral color.
- Cozy plaid scarf.
- Moto style jacket in a textured fabrication like leather, suede, or tweed. Or for a more casual look try a cardigan.
- Accessories in an accent color based on your scarf: mix it up with colored booties and a neutral scarf or a colored jacket and neutral booties/handbag.

Comment of the Week comes from DEBORA
I’ve been following your blog and it’s always a good surprise to find great information or tips about style nowadays, especially when you want to make your wardrobe more versatile and have pieces that flatter your body shape. Also trying to develop conscious consumption in fashion! Greetings from Brazil!
Kudos to Debora for being mindful of conscious consumption. Upcycling last year’s favorite pieces is a great place to start! The more we know what looks good on us, the less we tend to buy.

LOVE this jacket and tee combo!! I’ve been wanting one for years but haven’t committed to one…this is definitely incentive to look more! Anthro has them every season in petites! Thank you for the inspiration!
Thanks, Ema! I’m so happy to see you on the blog. Anthro does have great pieces. I love their styles and hope you find one your love soon. I’ll keep a look out for one for you.
I’ve been shopping my closet lately! And discovered items I forgot about! Happy weekend!
Hi Nancy! Isn’t it the best when we shop our closet and find things we love just as much as when we first got them? Fantastic!!
I love having outfit formulas like this to make getting dressed easier. I also have to say I really love how your red lips and glam sunglasses complete the look here!
Thanks, Gina! You have an eye for classy details. Thanks for noticing my sunglasses and red lip. Those little things do make the outfit just that much better!
Great look! Love that Vince scarf you linked!
Thanks, Melissa. New scarves are such a fun way to dress up an outfit!
Hi Shannon,
Lovely outfit! I found an almost identical scarf at Marshalls so I scooped it up quickly! Can you share how you tied your scarf? It’s very classy and I’ve not seen a scarf tied like that before.
I think I purchased my scarf at Marshalls as well! Isn’t it fantastic? I think I looped it around my neck two times loosely, then I looped one end over both the two loops over my neck. I feel like my scarf looping looks different every time. Sometimes is great sometimes the third try is a charm. I hope that helps.
Such a great outfit! Always a good idea for fall.
