These 3 new additions were carefully planned to compliment my existing wardrobe and are things I know I'll wear for years. Also, this is part 2 of this mini series (in the first I restyled and fell back in love with what I already have) and these pieces are a mix of vintage & trendy items to help update my current wardrobe for fall.

Make Your Old Clothes New Again Using Street Style Fashion | Chic Fall Outfit Inspiration
Today I'm sharing the steps I take every season to fall back in love with my wardrobe and feel like I have new clothes without buying anything. By using street style fashion to get inspired, I'm able to fall back in love with the clothes I already have and prevent impulse shopping. I hope these tips help you get inspired and have fun with your style this fall. Also, I didn't link anything I'm wearing because I think this is better if you focus on what you already have in your closet but if you're curious about anything feel free to ask :) Thanks so much for watching! xx Audrey
FALL TRENDS I'M BUYING SECONDHAND
Trends are something that I pick and choose sparingly and now that I know my personal style better than ever, I’m pretty selective about the trends I participate in. That said, I do think trends are such a fun way to change up your look and if one or two really speak to me I’m happy to adopt them. This season there are quite a few that I love and I’m feeling so inspired by these easy updates that I’ve already started adding a few to my wardrobe.
From luxe leather to croc embossing, the best thing about so many of my favorite fall 2019 fashion trends is that they are reiterations of things that were popular in the 90’s and early 2000’s. This makes them easily to find secondhand. So, in today’s post I’ve rounded up the fall trends I’m buying second hand and few that I won’t be personally buying, but are out there waiting for the right home.
LEATHER BLAZERS
TOM FORD
I love this trend and I’m fully on board. I especially love how easily you can find this trend secondhand. Whether you’re looking for something tailored or more oversized, the options are endless in thrift stores and resale sights like eBay, ETSY, TheRealReal, Vestiare Collective etc.
CROC EMBOSSED BAGS & ACCESSORIES
LOEWE
Croc embossing is one of my favorites - it just looks so luxe! From belts to bags and even shoes, this one is so easy to track down and I think looks so gorgeous in black, brown, cream and every color in between. Plus, the quality tends to be incredible on vintage and older belts so you’ll likely find a wardrobe staple that you can happily wear for years to come.
SQUARE TOES
TOD’S
Square toes aren’t for everyone, but I think that when done subtly they’re such a great way to change up your look. I love how the unexpected shape immediately adds interest to a basic outfit and updates your wardrobe with just one piece.
PISTACHIO
JILL SANDER
The beauty of pistachio green being back in fashion is that you can easily find it secondhand - especially in accessories like bags and scarves. I really love this color but it’s not one I wear a lot so I won’t be picking up anything new but I’ve gathered some really great options below.
UNIVERSALLY FLATTERING & CHIC MAKEUP
Today I'm sharing a universally flattering makeup look. This chic routine is easy to do at any price point and perfect for every day. I've linked everything down below along with my other favorite makeup products at every price point. Thanks so much for watching! xx
FALL 2019 FASHION TRENDS | PHOTOS
Even though it’s definitely still summer here, I’m already dreaming and planning for fall so today I want to delve a little deeper (with pictures) into the fall 2019 fashion trends. If you’d like to see my video on the subject, you can watch it here or at the bottom on this post.
UPDATED SUITING
Things like structural shoulders, cinched waists and clean tailoring are everywhere for fall. I love this trend and think that it’s incredibly accessible because you can go as crazy or subdued as you like. For example, if you love oversized blazers you can try a vintage men’s option or if you want to keep things more low-key you can simply belt your current favorite blazer.
BALENCIAGA
SAINT LAURENT
TIBI
2. HEAD-TO-TOE LEATHER & LUXE LEATHER SEPARATES
Texture is one of my favorite things to play around with and the rise of leather separates for fall is right up my alley. I love the look a tailored leather blazer (so easy to find second hand!) and a relaxed slip dress or classic jeans. Plus, leather or pleather separates are a wonderful way to add interest to a monochromatic outfit.
KHAITE
TOM FORD
ALTUZARRA
ROBERTO CAVALLI
3. THE NEW BOURGEOIS
Take your timeless wardrobe essentials in classic cuts and colors wear them all together for the ultimate luxe look. This trend also includes classics with a twist and features things like classic separates with updated sleeves or fun linings and slouchy boots in a classic color or croc embossed bags and shoes or luxe capes that update your entire wardrobe. It’s subtle details like this that make these new classics so great and something you can invest in with confidence.
CELINE
JW ANDERSON
SALVATORE FERRAGAMO
VALENTINO
CHLOE
AKRIS
LANVIN
LOEWE
THE ROW
4. SQUARE TOES
Square toes are tricky but if you’re looking for an easy way to update your look with just one pieces, square toes are a great way to do this.
TODS
TOM FORD
5. PERIOD PIECES
This next one is carrying over from spring and summer and something thats so easy to find second hand and vintage. It includes everything from ruffles to statement sleeves and lace inlets. Also lace up shoes, elaborate headbands and hair accessories and pearl jewelry that feels both modern and antique are perfect for this one.
DION LEE
EMILIA WICKSTEAD
6. TOUGH ROMANCE
In contrast to the period pieces trend, we’re also seeing a tough almost grungy look that consists of lace and romantic details paired with tough accessories like combat boots, chains and chokers. All done in black as well to toughen it up even more.
ALEXANDER MCQUEEN
THE ROW
LONGCHAMP
7. PISTACHIO
There’s always a color or two that becomes the it color of the season and this fall it’s pistachio. This color is carrying over from spring/summer but for fall we’re seeing it in head-to-toe pistachio looks. Things like green coats paired with green pants and accessories is perfect for this trend and it’s a great time to stock up on this color if it’s one of your personal faves.
JILL SANDER
8. CRYSTALS
If you love bling, then this next trend is perfect for you. Crystals in accents, jewelry and shoes are going to be everywhere for fall 2019 but it goes beyond a night out. Instead, we’re seeing it paired with daywear and traditional wool and tweed fabrics for a luxe daytime look.
CHANEL
CHRISTIAN DIOR
DRIES VAN NOTEN
9. BALLOON SLEEVES
Statement sleeves have been around for a few seasons now but this fall it’s all about the balloon sleeves. These voluminous, subtly romantic sleeves are perfectly modern and 80’s at the same time and look fantastic in just about every material from cotton to cashmere.
KHAITE
10. TIGHTS
Last but not least, we have tights. This trend spans printed tights, colored tights and everything in between. For an understated take on this trend, I think subtle polka dot tights with a neutral outfit is perfect!
SAINT LAURENT
BALMAIN
