Fast Fash Fall Fashion 2023

Hello and Happy Friday!

I wanted to post this much sooner but MAN, August into right now has been a DOOZY! Between two of the four of us having surgery, doctor appointments, school starting, a crazy photo business, and back to school sickness, I’ve had NO time to even finish a thought. But, here we are my Fall Fashion List. Seven of my favorite trends for the season…

This is my eighth year sharing my favorite Fall Fashion trends. This is truly one of my favorite posts that I do all year long. And as always my disclaimer is: if these, or any, trends are not your cup of tea then freakin’ skip it. Never wear something you don’t like simply because it’s “in”. My favorite vibe this season is Old Hollywood Glam. See especially seven.

1. Tulle and ballet like items

I’m not personally into ballet flats but a tulle skirt? Oh always! There will always be room in my life for a full tulle skirt!

2. Barbiecore.

Now, we could have all seen this coming miles away but pink isn’t going anywhere and it will indeed be everywhere. Even after the Barbie movie craze has subsided pink will remain.

3. Peplum

I’m thrilled that this trend has returned. This look enhances the waist because it cinches smallest part and doesn’t emphasize hips.

4. A good suit

Think Blake Lively in A Simple Favor. I love a good suit in my soul. Sure this is “trending” but what a fantastic timeless look. My favorite place for a suit is always Express. Another bonus? Sneakers or heels and you have a different look. Take off the blazer, another different look. Go from day to night in a flash. See the platform mirror pics!

5. Platforms

Let’s talk my favorite shoe trend. That’s right, platforms are back and my Spice Girl loving inner child is thrilled! Now you don’t have to go as extreme as I have but I’m sure leaning into this. After all, it helps with how short I am. Kidding I’m 5’9, but hey, my Husband is tall.

6. Deep V’s

Another favorite of mine always in trend or not.

7. Big Fur Coats & fur stoles

(for the cold, obviously)

This is also a non trend for me. I have a bunch faux fur coats and tons of faux fur stoles that I wear every single year and I love them! Faux fur is a really big part of my chilly weather personality. Since it’s not even close to this one yet I don’t exactly have it pictured but believe me follow this space and my insta and you’ll surly see it.

As always thank you a million times over for being here, and still allowing me to share my creative with you.

Have an absolutely fabulous Friday!

Introducing: What I pulled…

Hello, hello!

I love fashion and style deep in my soul. It’s a very big part of who I am. It’s also the most popular part of my blog and Instagram (@thefastfashionista). I was thinking that I needed to elevate the fashion part of The Fast Fashionista.

Here’s what I came up with….

If I’m describing an outfit that I’m wearing somewhere I always say “I pulled”. For example, “I pulled sequin joggers and a black bodysuit”. With this refreshed idea, I’m going to tell you what I pulled, the vibe I was going for and my fast thought process behind it. Hopefully I can give you some fun outfit ideas.

As always the posts will be fast. A fashion fast read if you will. I’m super excited to share this with you!

For my first “What I Pulled”, we headed out to a new distillery in Washington, Pa caller Liberty Pole. I highly recommend going for a very fun afternoon. Back to the “fit”…

I share with you an outfit I just love that actually came together in minutes. Cobalt blue is a color I just adore so I built this outfit around the bodysuit. Leopard goes with just about anything and these pants are quite a staple of mine. Not only do blue and orange go well together, I liked the different pattern combination of the stripes and leopard. The matching shoes and bag were a very quick icing on the cake. This is a great color palette to keep in mind. Blue, orange, and a black or white. Or hey, both.

Have a great Monday! I hope it meets you with a strong cup of java with maybe a little bourbon in it…

Let Your La Perla’s Shine!

Hello, hello friends!

Getting right to the point today and talking about a very easy and chic summer fashion trend you should hop on. The exposed bra trend made it appearance on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet last month. Scarlett Jo and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley were just two of the celebs rocking this trend.

My take on it was a little more casual than a gown but it surly is a super fun way to lean into this trend. And as always if you’re not into it, skip this one.

I think this is a very fun way to spice up your summer looks. After all, Summer starts tomorrow!

Thank you for stopping by today! Enjoy your Tuesday!
