Fall Foliage 16

Autumn in Portland

There's nothing quite like fall on the West Coast. It was my first time to experience it, but from the foggy, chilly mornings to the golden sunsets it was perfect.

Our last full day in Portland was spent doing what we do best – exploring with no real agenda. We wandered streets, popped in shops, stood in line for the best chicken biscuits around, and drank our fill of coffee.

The colors of fall were just starting to shine through, vibrant yellows seemed to be the color of the trees lining charming streets and city sidewalks so we couldn't stand by without trying to capture a bit of their beauty.

I think about a week later the entire city would have been lit up with a fall-like glow and early October would truly be the best time to visit for fall foliage.

The day, like most days, started out chilly and I was glad for my trusty trench in the morning time. This coat has been a constant fall companion since I was in high school and it's not going anywhere!

If you're looking for one new thing to add to your fall 2020 or spring 2021 wardrobe, you will never go wrong with a classic trench. Mine is from Banana Republic years ago but there are so many good ones on the market right now, you can't go wrong.

Another fall style trend that's been around to stay for the past two years is the denim jumper. It's not just for the young kids anymore either. I've worn this super versatile, very affordable dress in the summer, fall, winter, and spring with cozy sweaters, tank tops, jackets, and tees and it's one the easiest pieces in my wardrobe to style.

And since they're trendy right now you can find them at so many different price points! I always suggest go a bit cheaper in price with the trendy items of the season and invest in the classics!
