Hey Y’all Happy Almost Friday!
And Welcome Back To Another Edition Of Our 2020 Fall Fashion Guide!
This Series began last week as Suzanne from CrazyBlondeLife and I began styling some of our favorite pieces for Fall! We kicked-off our Fall Guide styling Blazers (See Post Here) and I think it has been such fun sharing these looks!
This week Suzanne and I are sharing one of my favorite Fall trends, ANIMAL PRINTS! Animal Prints are all the rage this year and, love it or hate it, I’m pretty sure they’re here to stay! Some even call it “A New Neutral” – It Is EVERYWHERE!
Designers are inspiring us to add this jungle vibe to our closet at every turn and there are countless options to slip this bold print into your closet! I think Leopard is the most common print in the animal print kingdom. You see it often – it’s a great stand alone and just as fabulous mixed with other prints!
This dress from Chico’s is so unique and I knew I had to have it!

The rich jewel tone was a MUST for me and I am such a sucker for a hi-low hem!! Can’t you see it with a black suede jacket for the Holidays ?!… I THINK SO!! I have this dress styled here with a denim jacket – a Fall staple in my world). And I wear these sock booties often, if you haven’t added this version to your shoe collection, it’s high time you did!! (this gorgeous green print is also available in a blouse!!)
The world of fashion has seen such an expansion of animal print this season. Snakeskin, cheetah, giraffe and cowhide just to name a few. I tend to gravitate to those that are a bit unique – maybe in a fabulous color or texture – something unexpected!!
One is my favorite animal prints is ZEBRA! Black and White is always a showstopper and a zebra print is SO Bold!!

This blouse is my favorite top lately. Can you get over this glorious blue covered in gorgeous zebras?!! I’ve worn it with skirts, over sleeveless dresses and jumpsuits and with pants of all descriptions. I love it with these black tapered pants and booties! No doubt – this one will be on repeat for many seasons to come! This amazing blouse from James Ascher is sold out quick but I have linked some similars HERE.

Beauty Within:
God Already Knew. Those three words are so comforting to me.
These are seriously such strange days. The loss of so much control as we frantically prepare for we have no idea what. Yep, ANXIETY can grow like wildfire in these conditions – That Is A FACT!!
BUT The Bible says He (God) Goes BEFORE Me and that He Is With Me. And because He’s leading the way I can rest in the fact that He’s carving the path. That He Is Still In Control NO MATTER WHERE We’re Heading!!
God Isn’t Surprised. And He wants me to feel peace in every step. Our Heavenly Father knows us so well – He knew there would be trying times at some point and that I’d be downright scared.
And He loves us so much that He even prepares & consoles us BEFORE, DURING & AFTER we walk those dark paths. It’s True – In His word, God tells us that we Do Not Need To Be Afraid. And not just once -No, He knew that would never be enough (for me at least🥴). He repeats Himself over 365 times -telling you and me to fear not – reminding us that He is with us. That He already knows and that we can rest in Him. Did you know He even tells us where to keep our eyes (our focus)?!! And it ain’t glued to the news!! (Hebrews 12:12)
Yep, God’s got this FEAR thing covered. He’s Got YOU Covered.
So… take a deep breath… mask on, of course:))
Deuteronomy 31:8
