greens and beiges for fall? groundbreaking!
A Jean Paul Gaultier bag charm, more Damson Madder, and an examination of Fall 2024 color predictions
Happy Friday, friends!! This feels like the first ~normal~ newsletter Iโve done in a hot sec. Feels good to be back :)
FYI, I am hoping to get the last thing I need today and post a lil Instagram giveaway over the weekend to say a huge THANK YOU for all the support :) So watch this space ๐๐
(Also, in devastating news, I am selling this incredible, now-sold-out shell chain ring because itโs too small for the place I wanted to put it in my stack โย I would recommend for someone who wants a ring size 5 or smaller. Bought for $30 and accepting all offers because I really want her to be worn and go to a good home!!! Details on my IG story or just DM me :)
Now onto the good stuff!
Get Thrifty
1. WeWoreWhat Vegan Green Leather Shacket, Size S from Vestiaire, $33
Guys, I think itโs finally time to look at light jackets and I am SO EXCITED. And this lil green number is yet another scenario where I need someone else to buy this before I convince myself I need another shacket lol
2. Jean Paul Gaultier Silver Bag Charm from Vestiaire, $54
Is $54 a lot for a bag charm??? Maybe (probably) but for Jean Paul Gaultier as we head into peak bag charm fall season??? This just feels so right.
3. Coach Hampton Mini Shopper Tote Bag from Curtsy, $35
Ok, this Coach mini tote is not only giving me very early fall vibesโฆ itโs also giving SERIOUS Damson Madder energy for me (for a MUCH lower price!!).
4. Damson Madder Women's Green Two-Piece Set, Size S/XS from Depop, $40
And speaking of Damson Madder for fallโฆ at $40, this adorable green set is a STEAL! Usually, if you order right from the site, you have to pay for shipping to the US (or anywhere thatโs not the UK) โย and not having to do that is already a wild bargain!
B.N.W.T.
1. High Waisted Wide Leg Waffle Work Pants from Halara, $30
Ok, I caved and bought the TikTok-viral waffle work pants from Halara a little while agoโฆ and I just went back and bought two more colors lol. They are EXCELLENT for literally every occasion and so comfy and lightweight.
2. Spectate Leopard Top from Lioness, $59
I have this โjerseyโ in plain brown, and I am honestly so mad I didnโt see this one lol. I will say (as I am currently wearing mine) it is an actual jersey material, so sweat-wicking and very comfy, and I may need to scoop this one up tooโฆ
3. Hunter V-Neck Sweater from Rumored, $88
If weโre talking about fall basics, PLEASE do not sleep on this piece from Rumored like this sweater (and honestly this whole outfit)!! They are also having a huge sale right now ๐ฎ
4. Margaux Tweed Blazer from Dynamite, $90
Combining two of my current obsessions โย Dynamite clothes and a good cropped blazer โ with this one!
Spotlight โจ
I donโt know about yโall but I am CRAVING fall so bad right now, which always happens to me in mid-August. Like every time we hit this stretch of the year, I start buying Pillsbury Halloween cookie merch because I just want to eat them so bad again (like do I need this candle???).
But I digress! This week, I wanted to talk about the fall color/style predictions weโre getting โย beyond the obvious, hopefully โย and also ask what kind of context and links you guys want for fall!
First, on colors, Marie Claire is telling us to be on the lookout for:
Literally every shade of green
Ballet slipper pink (for fall, this surprised me but I think I like it!)
Sky blue
Corporate grey
Mulled wine red and purple (a classic)
Toasted sesame beige
Overall, I feel like more pastels than usual? But I like it, and Iโm excited to bust out all the cherry reds I bought last spring again too!
On trends, hereโs what Iโve been seeing:
Loafers are allll the way back (if they were ever gone)
English countryside vibes (think J. Crew, Barbour, etc)
Lots of boho belts and boots โ welcome back, mid-2010s
New England preppy ofc
Butter yellow but paired with fall colors!
Iโll add in: as a longtime both dark academia and light academia stan, fall feels like my time to shine lol and these styles truly never donโt work when those leaves start turning.
But more importantly, I want to hear what you guys want for this upcoming season! Throwing some options below โย and a comment box because I would LOVE any and all ideas for you!
If you like multiple ideas, drop the numbers here AND and thoughts/ideas you want to see :)
Look at this Graph
If youโre like me and cannot stop saying โvery demure, very mindful,โ we are not alone! Starting last week, the whole country has started Googling the word (and presumably the trend). All cred to the original TikTok creator, Jools Lebron!!!
And on our most recent reader poll (which was a WHILE ago now lol), we were split dead even between loving brat green and being ready for it to be done!! Tea!!
For this week:
Other Corners of the Internet
I will never, ever scroll past a TikTok recommending high-quality bags for not insane prices lol
This creator has some super smart advice for Tiffany & Co if they want to survive amongst us youths!
Is the statement necklace coming back?? The ATSC Instagram followers say no, but Who What Wear is saying yes???
Um, yes, I think I absolutely do need a bedazzled Dolly Parton lipstick, thank you!
Iโm really feeling โrough-cutโ gemstone earrings like these gorge onesโฆ is anyone else?
The top-clicked links last week were the magical Uniqlo Merino wool washable sweater, the quilted totes (same yโall), and this pink Damson Madder dress which someone snapped up!
Thatโs all for now! Iโm SUPER excited about next weekโs edition, and I canโt wait to see you then :)
