Fringe & Faux Leather

Leopard Headband

One of my favorite fall outfit combos is pairing a cozy sweater with more polished styles. There’s just something I love about the contrast of relaxed knitwear with a structured, sleek piece like this soft fringe mockneck & these faux leather pants. Ann Taylor reached out to me a few weeks ago & offered to let me select a few items from their new arrivals, so I put together this chic fall look featuring my favorite neutral colors.

Right now, you can get 50% off full-price styles + free shipping with code BIGDEAL (and an extra 70% off sale styles). I love when they run promos like this because even if I just find a pair of earrings or a scarf, I can order just that one item & not have to pay shipping costs! I think they have such beautiful & well-made accessories like these pearl drop earrings, this leopard print scarf, this knot ring, these cateye sunglasses & this pendant necklace.

Sadly, this sweater is considered one of their “key styles”, so it’s excluded from the current 50% off sale, but I’ll keep an eye on it & let you know when it gets marked down. In the meantime, check out this fringe sleeve sweater for a similar look (I’d pair with medium wash denim). Other sweaters & tops that I’m loving right now include this balloon sleeve cardigan, this floral top (such a gorgeous print!), this cozy pointelle hoodie, this mockneck top (love the button detail!) & this camel cardigan.

If you love the look of faux leather leggings, but want something a little thicker that you can actually wear as pants, these are the perfect solution. I’d say they’re like a hybrid between a crop ankle pant and a legging – they have nice stretch to them, but they are made from a more substantial material so they don’t show bumps + the seam down the center of the leg gives them a slightly dressier feel. They also have a cognac faux suede pant that looks so high-end – check out all my top picks below!
