Today is the “official” first day of fall. Of course, I’m sad to say goodbye to summer 2015, but at the same time, I’m excited for fall. I love fall, I really do! What’s not to love about pumpkin spice, beautifully coloured leaves, and Thanksgiving feasts?
Fall is also my favourite time of the year to experiment with style. The cooler temperatures are the perfect excuse to throw on a few extra layers, which means more interest and personality in every outfit.
When Upper Canada Mall recently gave me the challenge of putting together my favourite fall look, it was a no-brainer that I had to rock a cardigan…but I needed a little bit more inspiration than that. I looked through the fall issue of Gorgeous Magazine and a few accessories with fringe detailing caught my attention. Lo and behold, when I was swooning over all of the fall goodies at Hudson’s Bay, I found THE perfect cardigan. Fringes, a hood, burgundy, and geometric patterns in one cardigan. As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t get more perfect than that.
To keep the emphasis on the cardigan, I kept the rest of my look more simple, but I have other ideas about how I’ll style it next. Once the temperatures cool down, you better believe I’m wearing this cardigan under my faux fur vest. (Psst- this same vest is available at Zara again this year!)
Outfit Details:
Cardigan: Dex via Hudson’s Bay (Same) || Tee: Brandy Melville (Same) || Jeans: Hollister (Same) Shoes: Wishbone via Brown’s Shoes (Similar) || Necklace: Brandy Melville (Similar) || Sunnies: Ray-Ban via Sunglass Hut (Same) || Purse: Gap (Same)
What’s your must-have item this season?
With that question in mind, you need to check out Upper Canada’s blog post for a chance to win a $500 shopping spree with their #FallintoGorgeous contest! If you’re not local, you should still check it out, because there’s some awesome style inspiration in that post…including a video by yours truly.
A big ‘thank you’ to Upper Canada Mall for partnering with me on this post!

This sweater is amazing! I love the bold pattern on it, and it really pops against the all black jeans and top. Awesome outfit.

I am so excited about fall. I cannot wait for the temps to drop a bit more. I love your outfit. The cardigan is amazing.
Sarah says
Great cardigan! When I was scrolling through your photos I felt like it was familiar, but wasn’t sure why. Then I saw that it’s from the Hudson Bay Company and realized that’s why – I browse the racks almost everyday on my lunch break… it’s dangerous lol
