2019 Fall Trends

Fall is by far my favorite season! I feel like it's the only time my true style shines through. My second favorite season is spring because I can wear my warm-weather clothes with fewer layers. Since fall is top of mind (and timely), I thought it would be beneficial to share my top 2019 fall trends. If you're lucky, you might already own some of these items, as they're less trendy and more classic which I love!What I’m Wearing– Sweater: J.Crew | Jeans: J.Crew Factory  | Boots: Gentle Souls by Kenneth Cole | Bag: Cuyana c/o | Lipstick: BeautyCounter Color Intense lipstick in 9 to 5

Timeless fashion pieces are a must, and investing in quality, potentially higher-end items pays off.

  • Neutral undershirt, check!

Wow! In which year did Asa wear it better? LOL. I hope that “2019 Asa” is a bit more fashion forward than my 2015 self. I do know, however, when I was younger, I was more adventurous with my fashion choices and dare I say it, “trendy.” I would rock a jumpsuit, overalls, culottes, hats, neck scarves — you name it!
