Day 7: Fashion Bloggers' Best Looks for Fall

Enroll in fall style 101 with a wearable look-a-day presented by our favorite style bloggers all month long. Think of it as a CliffsNotes for your closet.

By Michele Laufik - September 7, 2013 A Little Dash of Darling

Trade in your basic tee for a just-as-comfy peplum alternative in an autumnal hue, like the orange top A Little Dash of Darling's Caitlin Lindquist is sporting. Pair it with dark denim and fun flats for an effortless outfit you can still run errands in. The colorful floral clutch and crystal bauble necklace are the perfect smile-producing extras to finish the look. Penny Pincher Fashion

Your next board meeting will be anything but boring if you wear bold, rich shades like Penny Pincher Fashion’s Kimberly Smith, a mom and style blogger from upstate New York. Her teal green dress paired with a mustard yellow blazer, cinched at the waist with an eye-catching gold belt, is a refreshing twist on a traditional skirt suit. Rowena

Instead of your usual black or camel-colored coat, take a cue from Melbourne-based blogger and crafter Connie Cao of k is for kani and go for outerwear in a bold hue, classic animal print or funky pattern. It might seem a bit early in the season to consider a striped faux fur option, but the upcoming chilly days will be much more bearable when you have a coat you can't wait to wear. Girl With Curves

Say so long to sleeveless blouses with a silky button-down in a soft hue a la style blogger and momma-to-be Tanesha Awasthi. The California-based Girl With Curves founder, who wants to inspire women of all sizes and encourage positive body image, shows off her baby bump in a slim skirt and pretty top. Heading into the work? Swap out the metallic sandals for ballet flats or heels.

Barefoot Blonde

Even though the leaves may soon start to fall, you can still be in full bloom like Amber Fillerup of Barefoot Blonde this season with a bold graphic print top paired with a basic pencil skirt. The style blogger and hair stylist plays off the black-and-white combo with a bright yellow bag for a pop of color. It’s almost like summer never ended.

Frankie Hearts Fashion

We don't adhere to that stodgy "no white after Labor Day" rule, but white pants are the perfect piece to showcase on the unofficial end of summer as you transition into full-on fall looks. Nicole Levine of L.A. style blog, Frankie Hearts Fashion, wears her slouchy pair with a casual gray tee and a muted floral clutch for an effortlessly cool night-out ensemble. Isaiah Johnson

Just because it's September 1st doesn't mean you have to cover up and hibernate. Your summer wardrobe (including those crop tops) can carry you through fall and beyond. Pair a neutral version with a graphic high-waisted skirt to reveal a hint of skin like GabiFresh's Gabi Gregg, a style blogger who doesn't follow the usual "plus-size" rules. The look offers an updated seasonal take on the warm-weather staple.Like this? Want more? Sign up for Find Your Style Community Challenge Share Connect with Us Follow Our Pins
