Style Guide: Feisty Feminist

feisty feministAre you a fan of feisty feminist fashion? Remember these awesome tees I posted about recently? Or what about these shirts awhile back? It seems that Girl Power is taking over the style world and, frankly, the trend doesn’t surprise me at all. I mean, if you think about it, fashion and feminism actually have a lot in common — the tenets of both are deeply rooted in individuality and being who you are, so they fit together pretty well, don’t you think? In fact, Slate has even proclaimed that feminism is the latest high-fashion trend! And because I’ve always firmly believed that you can be a feminist AND love fashion at the same time (and because it’s Women’s History Month!), here are some of my favorite feisty feminist fashion statements…feisty feminist

Fall Favorite #1: Autumnal Attire

Welcome to Fall Favorites Week 2016, friends! For five years now, you’ve seen me explore my growing love of fashion and beauty by highlighting some of the best fall fashion trends, tips and styles. We’ve looked at everything from scarves to emerald nails to flare jeans to bucket bags, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

So that’s why this year, I thought it would be fun to kick off this most fashionable of weeks by taking an overall look at, well, the classic fall look. If I’ve learned anything about fashion over the years, it’s that there are certain colors, textures and prints that just set the mood and scream pumpkin spice latte and apple cider donuts! Take a walk with me down the metaphorical runway — or a frolic through the pumpkin patch — as we check out some great autumnal attire…

Flannel shirt, $29 | Cozy animal socks, $9.99 | Burgundy handbag, $39.99 | Dusky blue nail polish, $10 | Scarf, $25.20 | Pumpkin necklace, $10.80
