Stylish Fall Fashion Staples | 3 Fall Style Essentials That Won’t Out of Style

Reading Time: 5 minutes

Today I am sharing 3 Fall Fashion Staples with Reitmans that will help you achieve cozy and chic style all fall and winter long. This post was sponsored by Reitmans. All opinions expressed are 100% my own. I just really love Reitmans clothing!

  Ah Fall, such a beautiful time of year. I’ve been truly awed this year by how stunning it is. I don’t know if I just haven’t taken the time to notice it before, or if this fall is particularly beautiful, but it seems like the trees have just bloomed into bright and vibrant shades of orange, red, yellow, and green everywhere. Yesterday, I was driving to an event and the sunlight was peeking through the trees and it was truly breathtaking. Oh Fall, I love you.   Stylish Fall Fashion Staples, fall outfits 2017, reitmans fall 2017, reitmans fall coats, reitmans fall jackets, reitmans fall clothesStylish Fall Fashion Staples, fall outfits 2017, reitmans fall 2017, reitmans fall coats, reitmans fall jackets, reitmans fall clothesStylish Fall Fashion Staples, fall outfits 2017, reitmans fall 2017, reitmans fall coats, reitmans fall jackets, reitmans fall clothes   Apparently, though, we’re in for a pretty intense winter here in Vancouver. From what I’ve read, it seems this year is supposed to be even worse than last – yikes! With that in mind, I have begun thinking of ways to build up my wardrobe to prepare for one heck of a cold and rainy late fall and winter.   Stylish Fall Fashion Staples, fall outfits 2017, reitmans fall 2017, reitmans fall coats, reitmans fall jackets, reitmans fall clothes Stylish Fall Fashion Staples, fall outfits 2017, reitmans fall 2017, reitmans fall coats, reitmans fall jackets, reitmans fall clothes   When Reitmans reached out to me to check out their fall and winter collection, I was immediately excited. I have been a fan of Reitmans clothing for years. In fact, I remember the first time I ever shopped there. It was about 8 years ago and it was just a few days before my first day (at my first real job!), and I went to Reitmans to find practical, comfortable, and stylish pieces to wear the office. I pretty much fell in love with their clothing, and they’ve been a go-to shop for me ever since.   Stylish Fall Fashion Staples, fall outfits 2017, reitmans fall 2017, reitmans fall coats, reitmans fall jackets, reitmans fall clothes   I went into the store and tried on a bunch of their new coats, and I immediately fell in love with this olive green Hooded Parka. Olive green is one of my favourite colours pretty much year-round. I consider it a neutral and love how it works with simple everyday outfits. Reitman’s wool coats are all super cute, elegant, and cozy for fall. I truly nearly walked out with about 10 of them.   Stylish Fall Fashion Staples, fall outfits 2017, reitmans fall 2017, reitmans fall coats, reitmans fall jackets, reitmans fall clothes Stylish Fall Fashion Staples, fall outfits 2017, reitmans fall 2017, reitmans fall coats, reitmans fall jackets, reitmans fall clothesStylish Fall Fashion Staples, fall outfits 2017, reitmans fall 2017, reitmans fall coats, reitmans fall jackets, reitmans fall clothes   What also drew me towards this coat was the length. To me, it’s important to have a coat hit the thigh area. A longer coat just means extra warmth, and I am always down to be a bit cozier during the fall and winter seasons. Adding to the cozy factor is the hood. Having a hood on my coat was something I never saw as essential in my early 20s, but as I’ve gotten older, I have begun to see a hood as a total essential on a coat. (Let’s face it, there were a lot of things style-wise that I thought were no biggy when I was 20. Like wearing a dress without leggings in the winter. Yea. No thanks.) The fact is, it rains here – a lot – and I want to be able to shield my face, ears, hair, and neck from the cold. In western Canada, Reitmans doesn’t yet carry their down coats, but if you’re on the hunt for a down coat then you can either go in-store and they can order the coat you like into the store near you, or you can shop online and ship it directly to your house!   Stylish Fall Fashion Staples, fall outfits 2017, reitmans fall 2017, reitmans fall coats, reitmans fall jackets, reitmans fall clothesStylish Fall Fashion Staples, fall outfits 2017, reitmans fall 2017, reitmans fall coats, reitmans fall jackets, reitmans fall clothes Stylish Fall Fashion Staples, fall outfits 2017, reitmans fall 2017, reitmans fall coats, reitmans fall jackets, reitmans fall clothes

 

3 Fall Fashion Staples | The Essentials You Need for Fall. 

A Great Coat

The most essential fall fashion staple article of clothing to have for Fall is a great coat. Knits, sweaters, scarves, sweater coats, and gloves are all great – but when it comes to what’s really going to keep your warm and dry, it’s your coat that needs to be next level awesome. This Hooded Parka is such a wonderful and cozy coat. It balances style with practicality which is what I am all about.  

Soft Knits

Sweater weather is truly the #1 reason I enjoy fall. I love sweaters, and in particular, I am obsessed with this cozy and seriously adorable Long Bell Sleeve Cable Knit Sweater.  If you’ve been following my stories than you already know how often I’ve been wearing this sweater!  

Cozy Accessories

To add another level of warmth to your style, you want to add on cozy accessories such as gloves and a scarf. Reitmans has so many wonderful options, like their Leather and Knit Gloves and Nep Scarf.   Stylish Fall Fashion Staples, fall outfits 2017, reitmans fall 2017, reitmans fall coats, reitmans fall jackets, reitmans fall clothesStylish Fall Fashion Staples, fall outfits 2017, reitmans fall 2017, reitmans fall coats, reitmans fall jackets, reitmans fall clothes Shop the Outfit: Hooded Parka Long Bell Sleeve Cable Knit Sweater Career Jogger Pants Leather and Knit Gloves Nep Scarf

    If you are working in a proper office, every woman should wear at least one blazer that is quite flattering to her. If it is not a right fit for you then one can get altered from the tailor.

      Totally agree! I don’t work in an office, and these aren’t work-essentials (they are more lifestyle essentials) but for the office I think a blazer is a must-have! Reitmans has great blazers!

“I want to grow seeing you smiling” 💛 I s “I want to grow seeing you smiling” 💛 

I saw so many powerful messages today from people sharing their "why" — the reason behind why they were there and standing as one of the "fringe". Here's a few reasons that I saw and heard: 

- Why? Because I want my child to grow seeing smiles and smiling
- Why? Because I miss my family and loved ones.
- Why? Because my lived experience tells me not to trust what is happening right now. 
- Why? Because I believe in our informed consent principles.
- Why? Because I believe in choice without coercion. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my job as a healthcare worker. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my business. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my home. 
- Why? Because I’ve been injured. 
- Why? Because I think there’s a better way forward for everyone. 
- Why? Because I chose what I knew was best for me and I want everyone else to be free to do that as well. 

Everyone has a unique reason why, and it’s important to take a moment to recognize and acknowledge them. Now is the time. Let's come together and be united💛

I want to be clear: I am not trying to dismiss the I want to be clear: I am not trying to dismiss the loss and illness that so many have experienced from C. It has been an extraordinarily hard two years for many, many people, for all sorts of different reasons and it is not my aim to diminish any of them. What I am trying to express is that we are at a breaking point societally. 

If we continue to move forward with coercion, mandates, restrictions, and divisive passports based on fear (or a hope) then we risk setting precedents that we may not be comfortable leaning on in the future. We also risk dividing our society to such a degree that may make it difficult, if not impossible, to ever bring back together. Despite all of the debates, arguments, and comments made over the last few years, I do not believe that deep down Canadians want to live in a state of perpetual division.

If this is not the time to unite and end these mandates, when is? It is our systems that are broken, and they have been broken for a very long time. We all know this. Let's unite and fix them, and more together 💛

Creating our own peace ☮️

Nearing the end of 2021, one thing that Jer & I wanted to prioritize was creating our own peace. Life has been exhausting for the last long while and, like most people, our mental well-being suffered from the current state of Canada. We knew we needed to make some changes, add something to our lives to remove us (even temporarily, now and again) from the chaos that is now the “new normal”. So, we began making road trips around BC to find our very own home away from home. I feel immensely lucky to now have this remote sanctuary in our lives. It is somewhere we can go when life gets too overwhelming, somewhere we could live eventually if life continues to be overwhelming. In just the first few days here, I’ve already felt a shift in my mindset. I feel incredibly lucky to have this place and already it feels like home. 💖
✨Growing pains✨ . . . 2021, for many of us, w ✨Growing pains✨
. . . 
2021, for many of us, was a year of growth. Some of it was painful, most of it inspiring, and all of it necessary. Sometimes growing means needing to shed the older versions of ourselves and sometimes that can be difficult or cause a loss in friendships or relationships. It can be challenging - believe me, I get it. But, anything or anyone who couldn't respect your growth then won't respect your future growth. While growth can be painful it is not nearly as painful as the dull consistent ache of feeling stuck.
