Sweater Weather for Fall Festivities

Last weekend I traveled upstate for an event and while there my family and me headed to Becker Farms for our traditional apple picking and wine tasting. I can't believe it has been a year since I posted my first blog post, taking photos back at this same farm. It's been an exciting journey so far, starting as a hobby for some self care, and now becoming a new passion.

 This day had the most perfect sunny, yet crisp fall air. As an easy look I layered my plaid scarf over my sweater. It was fun to listen to the live music and take in all the fall sites before getting back to the hustle and bustle of the city. I've linked a few of my favorite fall scarves and oversized sweaters at the bottom of this post.

Hope everyone is taking in all of the cider and apple everything this season!

Outfit Details:

This is an easy and comfortable look for fall and can pair well with a variety of footwear such as booties or an over the knee style. There's so many plaid options for scarves and warm chunky knits this season that can be styled together. Some of my favorites are mis matching stripes with plaids or bold colors.

I love this olive green color and I found it at a great price point at Target! Their sweaters are also on sale.  Buy one get the 2nd at half price! This is my first sweater of this kind from there, so I'll have to see how it washes and wears over time. I've linked my outfit details and similar options.

When Home Sweet Home in the Fall

In October I took my annual trip upstate to visit my family and enjoy some wanderlust outdoors. We have made it a tradition to apple pick and wine taste at the most quaint and lively place, Becker Farms located in Upstate New York. The weather was unusually warm for fall so layers for chillier mornings and warm days were packed for my visit! 

I snagged this great turtle neck style tunic from Riverland in the UK when I was there over the summer. I knew it would be the perfect piece of neutral color to layer under longer sweaters for fall. Of course rain boots were in the mix for this adventure out into the fields. I love the green pop of color and Hunter makes a color for every personality. These are a vintage version a friend snagged for me as a gift. 

Apples, Pumpkins, & Fall's Country Vibes

This season New York has been warmer than usual for early fall so I'm slowly transitioning into layers and easy denim for a relaxed weekend look outdoors. Blanket scarves are a must for chilly days ahead. Plaid prints, distressed denim, and laid back booties or comfortable slip ons will update a look without being over stated. Cheers to fall and bringing this country look to the city girl! 

As an original upstate New York girl I surprisingly never got used to our cold winters with below negative temperatures. Though after hot summers I always looked forward to the end of September and October for crisp fresh air that fall brought forward with the warmest of foliage in the trees. I'm a girl of my word so I try my best to hold true to traditions, especially around the seasons. This fall I'm continuing a longstanding tradition of apple picking, wine tasting, and pumpkin picking both outside the city and back upstate in hometown land.

Upstate New York and the finger lakes region is home to some of the best vineyards and when living back in Buffalo I had one of my first dates at an orchard. Fast forward 6 years and we've kept it a ritual to apple pick our transition into fall. Though much has changed since our move to New York we found a way to keep our outdoors festivities alive. We love heading out of the hustle and bustle of the city to see the sites of fall and get out into the fields to apple pick and eat way too many cider doughnuts (who can resist?!) We look forward to a good fall festival at an orchard we visit once a year. 

I can't help but get giddy over the idea of baking pies, fall drinks, and seasonal scented candles. Let’s not forget oversized sweaters, boots, and the scarves!
