Fall may not be in the air here in Houston, but it is in my closet! If you recall, I’m originally a midwesterner, so my fall was filled with raking leaves and subsequently jumping in them, hot apple cider, and lots of sweaters. Fall in Houston is none of that. After 15 years here, I’m finally okay with the lack of fall weather, and just wear clothes as if it’s here. This fall is different than previous – everyone is virtual and we are still maintaining social distance because of COVID. So, my wardrobe is a little more casual.

Casual Animal Prints
Animal prints are still a trend this fall. I still wear this zebra print dress from last autumn, and I added the two pieces below.
Cheetah Print Pants
I loved the pattern of these cheetah print jeans (affiliate link). I normally try to stay away from patterned pants because I’m pear shaped and don’t like to draw attention to that area. But I paired them with a ruffle dress (affiliate link, similar) and a utility jacket (affiliate link, similar) to give me the coverage I need.





Leopard Print Shirt
I felt like this animal print button down (affiliate link) was the perfect casual fall top for Texas. The pattern is very fall, but the fabric is lightweight cotton. And the bright pink piping gives it a very Texas/western edge. I found this new brand of jeans at Nordstrom called Whetherly (affiliate link) and I really like them! Great price point and they fit in the right places.


Leopard Print Sweater
Also another keeper from last fall, this berry colored leopard sweater (affiliate link, similar) adds some color and pattern to your casual fall outfits. You can see how I’ve styled it two ways below. Tshirt is from a little boutique near me called Vintage Hope, affiliate links for similar items for outfits below.


Fancy Sweatshirt
COVID and the cool weather just makes you want to lounge around in sweats. I get it. Take those sweats up a notch and find an embellished one. This bow back one is super comfortable, as is the embellished one. Unfortunately both are sold out, but I’ve linked some other cute ones below.
