My Favorite Fall Motifs
Blouse || Skirt || Heels (similar) || Handbag || Earrings
For those of you not familiar with the word, the motif has a few different meanings. For today’s chat, I’ll be using it as a “decorative design or pattern.” The fall is just the beginning of fun season motifs and themes. There are so many to choose from! In case you want to get in the spirit, here are some of my favorite fall motifs
Apples
The teacher in me will always love a good apple. While apples can even be enjoyed as far south as Florida, I’m so envious of my northern friends going apple picking. J Crew Factory has so many fun picks, but I especially love this crew neck sweater. If you live in cooler weather, please layer it over an Oxford shirt for me!
Pumpkins
There is nothing quite as synonymous with fall as pumpkins. From jack-o-lanterns to pie, it works in each autumn month and then some. While I typically wait to decorate with pumpkins until October 1st, this pumpkin brooch from Talbots is high on my shopping list. So elegant and timeless, I’ll be able to pair with a cream sweater for years to come!
Leaves
Don’t call it a cliche! Since the Sunshine State has a severe lack of fall foliage, Floridians have to find their autumn colors elsewhere. I was so hoping to visit David’s family in Vermont, but we opted that it would have to wait until next year. Instead, working from home in this embroidered ‘leaf-peeper’ sweatshirt from Kiel James Patrick will have to be the alternative.
Foxes
This final motif may just be my favorite one yet! This little critter has made its way into the autumn culture and in such a classic way! While this monogrammed sweater from Kiel James Patrick feels very me, this pearl bracelet would probably have to be my number one pick!
With all of that said, I have yet to mention Halloween specific pieces. Some are more obvious than others. If you’re like me and prefer something more subtle, I highly recommend this sweet pair of candy corn earrings from St. Armands Designs. They are lightweight and just what I needed to celebrate fall motifs.
Love from Florida,
