I wear some of the same pieces all the time. I know! So, I am trying to be a bit more intentional when trying out new things. How can I pull off a romper in the fall? Well I did it!

As of the lately, Michigan weather has been up and down. Cold and breezy in the morning, warm mid day, and breezy when the sun starts to set. So how do you style yourself in this wishy washy weather.

So for the fall season I am exploring ways to ditch traditional pieces, like jeans, for something up to date! IDK! Cargo pants is that trend that are replacing jeans. Not really but really, LOL !  She (cargo pants) has been showing up, on displays, and dropping subtle hints that she (cargo pants) were going to show up for the season. The utility inspired pants is definitely apart of the fall fashion season with a bit of a twist. Cargo pants are best alternative for jeans because they are comfortable, and very easy to style with any basic look. So I decide to explore different cargo style pants for my frame!
