What do you wear in the fall? I’m stuck in 2002

[Anonymous]

Wide leg or bootcut jeans
Corduroys
Structured jackets & cardigans
Animal-print accessories
Saturated colors (deep orange, burgundy, olive green)
Fitted crewneck sweaters over button downs (think early 2000s JCrew catalog style).

I like the top outfit but I pray that VB blazer has run its course. I hate.

I love blazers and the like. For me they are key to transitioning into fall.

Oh I love a blazer, but I do not want to see that particular double breasted huge gold buttoned $650 one on every single lady over 40 against this year.

Understood. I was just posting photos to give an idea, not to urge anyone to purchase a specific piece.

All the moms at my kids' school still dress like the photos in the OP. Maybe not quite so many scarves, but yes to the skinny jeans (often rolled at the bottom), ankle boots, and longer tops.

I am boring. I wear mostly bootcut or straight jeans and fitted sweaters.

I live near a college and so far as I can tell, the college girls have just put sweatshirts over their matching bra and short sets.

I wear whatever the hell I want.

I got their slim jogger cargos in black and dark green, cute plain white leather Reebok’s, their Kiara blouse which is so cute, and a Sherpa and denim jacket. For dressing up mildly, I got a lady cardigan and dark jeans with a bralette. I also got the baggy wide leg Paloma jeans to wear with tight vests. Last year I got very cute black combat-ish boots I like to wear with slip dresses and off the shoulder sweaters for dinner etc.

Why would your occupation have any bearing here…is there a “lawyer mom” style that’s different from “data analyst mom”?

NP but yeah it's because she's working in an office or zoom screen, and not wearing babydoll dresses at 3:30 school pickup.

Ha sorry I guess because I have to go to the office sometimes still but now it’s all “business casual” ish. And I still need suits some days.

And you also need to tell everyone you are a lawyer?

She is Very Important. You wouldn't get it.

Well, I’m a lawyer as well—and I definitely don’t get it, lol.

DP. Layoff the lawyer. DC private practice downtown lawyer is a fashion type.

Any occupation that still requires suits is worth calling out these days.

lol. It is not a “fashion type.”

Okay, well, sometimes I have to go to hearings and meet clients in the day and I have to wear business type stuff and sometimes I have to do kids stuff and I want outfits that can do both, if possible.

Very, very meh.

Op, don’t buy these.

I like them, they’re super flattering, nice colors, work for games and are comfy. Do share your far more superior pants, oh fashion one. I hope they are not slacks.

Ummm, they are not.

Yes, as I said, sadly almost everyone I know and most people I meet are also lawyers so I thought they would get that there are some times I have to wear office stuff, even if no court.

I suppose if you invested in chunky knit and blanket scarves, low boots and slouchy beanies you sure as heck are going to get your money's worth of wears out of them.

Kidding aside, they can be classic pieces when broken up among different outfits. It's the combo that screams Mormon IG influencer to me.
