Fall Outfit Pinspiration: Checked Shirt, Cargo Vest, Colored Leggings

Fall outfit featuring cargo vest, check shirt, purple leggings
We spent our Saturday doing quintessential fall activities on the most gorgeous autumn day imaginable, eating our way through a garlic festival then picking up apples and pumpkins at a local farm. It was the perfect chance for me to recreate a casual fall look from Pop of Style which I had pinned months ago, but never actually put together - until now! All you need is a black and white checked shirt, military or cargo style vest, and some colored leggings. Riding boots complete the look. I added a layering tee since I'm 33 weeks pregnant but don't let that deter you from trying this look. Just button up the check shirt and you're all set. Read on for my budget-friendly finds to help you get this casual fall look with pieces under $40, and head to Pop of Style to see the original inspiration photo!

I've got another fall outfit for you ladies today inspired by a look I found on Pinterest. It's a really good combination of rich fall colors and textures that's easy to wear yet makes a chic fashion statement. First, I'll start by saying that I found awesome camo pants at Sears and Forever 21 just this past week at the mall. However. I can't find either pair online! Figures. So I've rounded up some other options for you in case you can't make it to a store (but I highly recommend you check Sears for the camo pants featured above first, they're just $12.99 by Bongo!)
