Fall Nashville Spots

SWEATER | TEE | DENIM | BOOTS

Fall in Nashville is the best time for the true Nashville experience. There is so much to see and do, you can always bet on having the time of your life. With a significant rise in popularity over the past few years, Nashville has taken on so many new spots that most tourists don’t even know about. From cool murals, to wineries and local favorites, fall in Nashville does NOT disappoint.

Of course some of my favorite fall activities in Nashville include the: Nashville Farmer’s Market, Hewitt’s Garden and Design Center, Leiper’s Fork, and a variety of outdoor festivals. But on any given weekend, you can probably find me hopping around town, trying out the best bars and restaurants, and indulging in a good southern brunch.

Below is my list of my try places, if you’re planning a quick trip to Music City this fall. Any of these options and activities come as a recommendation from yours truly. If you’re in town, don’t be afraid to give me a shout. Let’s explore Nashville together, like everyday is a vacation day in the coolest city in the south.

Plaid Blazer

BLAZER | TEE | JEANS | SHOES

Today I’m combining two of my favorite trends in one look. This little plaid blazer is absolutely perfect for the fall season, and it’s totally affordable. Aside from being budget friendly, it’s also lightweight, comfortable, and versatile. During fall and winter, you can bet that I’ll be in any form of plaid possible, so finding a reasonably priced, plaid blazer was icing on the cake. Today’s look is clearly casual (per normal), but you could easily style this blazer over a black slip dress, a jumpsuit, or with a tee and overalls. Soon, I’ll find a new way to style it, and I’ll be sure to share.

Rose Tee

TEE | CARDIGAN similar | HAT | JEANS | SHOES similar

You can’t go wrong with a tee and a cardigan when fall weather arrives. This rose printed tee is ONLY $10 and it’s literally the comfiest shirt ever. This layered look is super affordable and versatile. You can easily pair this rose tee with a black trousers, black jeans, a skirt or under overalls. For the cardigan, your options are also endless.

As you know from this summer, I love embroidery. For the season ahead, I’m incorporating subtle embroidered pieces, so this rose tee was the perfect addition. A simple touch of embroidery can go a long way. It adds that pop of color that all outfits need, plus it gives a unique flair to every look. If you ask me, every girl should own a rose tee like this one, too.

The Fall Basics

TOP | SCARF | HAT similar | JEANS | BOOTS

After a much-needed fall getaway this past weekend, I decided we needed to have a quick chat about THE FALL BASICS that every girl should have in her closet. This season is no different than last. Be prepared to have a blanket scarf and a wide brim fedora handy. Similar to last year, you’ll get a lot of use out of your basic tees and sweaters. Printed ankle boots and basic chelsea boots are more popular than ever. You can literally rock these every day.

The basics are important, because they tend to make everyday dressing that much easier. They keep your wardrobe versatile, and they allow you to layer in more ways than you knew possible. Blanket scarves serve as a source of warmth, but they also add color and texture to basic looks. You can tie your scarves a handful of ways, and never get sick of wearing them.

So hold on tight to majority of your basic pieces from last year, and add a few pops of bold colors, prints and chenille fabrics to your closet for a fresh spin on THE FALL BASICS!
