As you know I'm always up for a closet challenge, so when someone told me about a Fall Fashion Challenge I had to jump in! With a group off over 1100 women we are all doing the Style Me Pretty Challenge where we were sent a clothing shopping list and then every day for the next 21 days we will be sent an image of the outfit we should make out of those items. So it's like having a personal shopper and virtual stylist for our fall looks. A lot of the pieces I bought are things I never would have thought to buy - infinity scarf, plaid shirt, riding boots, and skinny jeans!

I'm going to be trying out all new trends that I've seen on pinterest but never thought to try. For starters the pic above are my new skinny jeans! I wear very little denim, in fact I've bought a new pair each decade of my life, seriously. I guess it's because my mother is European and forbid me from wearing jeans as a child. The shopping list for the challenge asked for skinny jeans to go with riding boots and I realized that my bootcut jeans would have too much fabric for that. Now let me tell you that never in a million years did I ever think I'd embrace the skinny jeans trend but I found a pair of jeans that fit me like a glove and only cost $35! I didn't want to invest too much because I wasn't sure how much wear it would get. I paired my new jeans with hearts on top and sparkly shoes, in front of this pretty fall backdrop. Don't you just love the look of orange leaves on the ground?

The challenge started on Monday but since I just got back from a long weekend vacation I haven't had a chance yet to wear the outfit combos but check out the linked bloggers below who will show you the looks so far.
