Six Days of Fall Looks

I am finally packing up and heading to the beach in just a bit so I’ll make this a short post! It’s been a crazy week as usual and I’m still in disbelief that it’s September! Honestly, where does the time go? It’s still warm here in North Carolina, but fall is coming and today’s post includes collages for outfits to wear now and later when the temps drop! I found some really great items and I hope you find something you love!

As always, remember to use these collages as outfit inspiration to shop your closet and then fill in where you need to! I’m attaching my Collage to Closet Guidelines below in case you need a little help getting inspired! Enjoy this post!

From Collage To Closet Formula

Step 1: Spot the Color Story

• Look for the main colors in the collage.

• Choose 2–3 to focus on (ex: blush pink + white + gold).

• Pull clothing or accessories you already own in those shades.

Step 2: Identify the Key Piece

• Every collage usually has a “hero” item (bold jacket, flowy skirt, statement shoe).

• Pick one similar item from your wardrobe to make your outfit center around.

Step 3: Recreate the Silhouette

• Notice if the collage leans oversized, structured, or flowy.

• Mimic the proportions (ex: oversized blazer + fitted pants, or flowy skirt + slim top).

Step 4: Match the Textures

• If the collage mixes denim + silk, or lace + leather, try pairing similar textures you own.

• Textures often make the outfit feel as luxe as the collage.

Step 5: Add the Accessories

• Accessories in collages are mood-setters.

• Look for details like layered jewelry, hats, sunglasses, or statement bags and add them in.

Step 6: Capture the Mood

• Think about the energy of the collage (romantic, edgy, minimal, playful).

• Even if you don’t have the exact pieces, choose items that give off the same feeling.

Step 7: Final Polish

• Step back and see if your outfit feels balanced.

• If it’s too plain, add one more bold accessory. If it feels too much, remove one.

Bonus Trick: Keep a few collages you love on your phone. Before you get dressed, glance at them and pull one element (color, texture, or accessory) to instantly elevate your look.
