I just LOVE the fall. From the vibrant, yet earthy colors, to the pumpkin spice lattes, to the apple orchards, I just love every. single. thing. about it!
My fashion style has always been what I would consider pretty earthy and bland. While I’m a friendly person, I’m generally not super outgoing at first, so I tend to just want to “blend in”. My clothing style kind of reflects this, in the neutral tones I like to wear. I totally love seeing people make these amazing outfit pairings out of crazy gorgeous colors or makeup, but in my mind I know I could never pull it off, because I would stand out too much with such brightness.
My favorite fall go-to is always a comfy more loose-fitting neutral shirt, with jeans and boots. I absolutely love this look for myself, because I feel put together, yet comfortable….which for me, is what it’s all about (I mean, have you read the title of my blog?! Leggings 4ever! hehe).
The best part about this look I love so much, is that it’s relatively inexpensive. My top and jeans are from Target, and while they’re from last year, Target has even better options like this and this. For $15 I’ll probably buy a couple! I also love that these shirts will cover my behind…so I can wear leggings with them and not feel like I have my booty on display (AH!). My jeans are the Mossimo Target brand, but any skinny jean will work that you feel comfy in, and that you can tuck into boots. The boots I’m wearing here are oldies but goodies…although I just bought these the other day, and they’re currently on sale at Target. I LOVE them, and they’re super comfortable! To me, booties offer the benefits of boots but without the hassle (easy take on/take off!)
And don’t forget the purse! My usual go-to is the diaper bag, but on occasions when I get out without the baby, the Longchamp Le Pliage Large Tote is my favorite. It’s easy to clean, folds up for easy storage, and is SO light because it’s made of nylon…which is awesome, because my purse always ends up being 500lbs!
What’s YOUR favorite go-to outfit for the fall?

I love the casual look, but still absolutely put together. So important for all of us moms to be comfortable, but looking good. Great look.
Meredith says
Thanks so much for the sweet comment, I really appreciate it! Yep, momming it in comfort is the way to go, always! hehe
Adree says
Love the outfit! My favorite fall outfit is very similar, I love wearing the t-shirt fabric tops with jeans and boots. My favorite boots are the ones that feel like slippers!
Meredith says
YES I loooovvvee anything that feels like I’m wearing my bedroom slippers!!! I know some people hate the Uggs, but they’re a good example of something SO COMFY!!!

Thanks Lisa! I swear, Target’s fall line-up is just so comfortable and inexpensive compared to some of the pricey (but beautiful of course) options I’ve seen!! Happy hunting!!
Jalisa says
I must say I love Target. I love your post. Fall is the best time of year for fashion in my opinion. I haven’t been daring yet to post a style blog post. Keep it up.
Meredith says
Hey Jalisa, you’re so sweet, thanks so much! It was my first and I was super nervous…I don’t consider myself stylish at all, so being able to stick to something that’s inexpensive, but that also looks presentable, and is COMFORTABLE, is a win!!
Jenny @ The Sensible Shopaholic says
Awesome outfit. Comfy and stylish. I’m a fan!
Meredith says

1stopmom says
Love that necklace and tote. I like that it folds up for easy storage, I could always use another bag!
Meredith says
Thanks! Yes, I think generally speaking it’s not TOO pricey, considering its benefits, and it holds up really well, cleans off well…pretty much a must-have for mom stuff!
Susan says
Great photography! I tend to stick with short sleeve blouses with a cardigan on top which allows for flexibility with temperature. That’s when I’m not still in pajamas.
Meredith says
Thank you! Full credits to my family photographer who’s amazing! I do love the cardigans too! Those are especially my favorite for work meetings because the conference rooms get so cold! And yep…same for me…I’m almost in pjs (or leggings haha) 99% of the time!!
Mary Barham says
LOVE!! We need to go shopping together haha I def need that bag for all my baby essentials!
Meredith says
Aww thanks you’re so sweet!! Yes I LOVE this bag. It takes a beating, that’s for sure!!! π
Belle says

Erin | A Welder's Wife says
I really like this outfit! My favorite fall outfit is a long gray tank with a denim jacket, black jeggings, and a pair of toms. It is casual, but super comfy!
Meredith says
Oh my gosh I love the sound of this!!! Any tips on where you get your long tanks?! I have a long torso so finding long anything is hard!
Nicole Parise says
Cute and comfortable! Love the look π

Thanks Nicole!!
Briana Marie says
The photography looks great! Fall is one of my favorite seasons. I couldn’t wait to bring out my cardigans, hoodies, and boots.
Meredith says
Thanks! Yes, now what I really need to do is put AWAY all the spring and summer stuff! Someday I’ll be that organized….haaaa!
Jen says
Beautiful necklace! Love the blue color!
Meredith says
Thanks Jen!
Sharon says
Ah I love that top! I am all about a v-neck, but I can never find a long-sleeved one that fits comfortably. This looks like a winner though! I love how long it is, too
Meredith says
Thank you! It’s hard for my too-I have a longer torso, so I’m always looking for something that’s extra long, otherwise it might end up being too short for me!
ananda says
stunning and so stylish!! i love the easy elegance of comfy tops and jeans with the pretty necklace! <3
Meredith says
Thanks so much!!
Cait Weingartner says
This is a really great look. Comfortable yet polished and put together. I especially love the boots, bag, and the pop of color from the necklace!
Meredith says
Thanks so much Cait! I would say on a typical day, I’m NEVER polished and put together, so if I can make it happen with some comfy pieces, I feel so much better in my own skin!
Bobbi | Bobbi's Kozy Kitchen says
This my fave as well. I live in Washington, so boots are always part of my outfit!
Meredith says
Boots are the BEST!! Thanks for the sweet comment!
Shann Eva says
Great outfit! I love longer shirts that cover my back side too. Target has some really great stuff this year. I also need some new booties.
Meredith says
Thank you! Yes those target ones I posted are soooo comfy!
Candace @ Fullest Mom says
I like the photos. Very vibrant and you are so lucky to live where the leaves actually change. Nice posts and good clarification of your typical style. I’m very similar. Only own a few pieces but the one’s I do… are not exactly form fitting and matched with jeans.
Meredith says
Thanks so much Candace! Yes, I really want to feel comfortable in what I’m wearing. Heels, for example, I just had to give up on!
Tiffany @ shortsweetmom says
This is a beautiful fall outfit. I really like your necklace. My favorite fall outfit is a comfy sweater, skinny jeans and tall boots. β€οΈ
Meredith says
Thank you! There’s nothing better than a comfy sweater for the fall (and winter!!)!
Brittany says
I love your outfit! Especially your adorable jeans! I don’t know what it is about jeans, but it really makes you feel good to find a pair that fits just right!
Meredith says
Thanks Brittany!!! Yes, I totally agree!
