• The Endless Versatility of Riding Boots

    If you have been reading Faintly Familiar for any amount of time, you may have noticed that in the winter and fall months my shoe choices become a little bit more limited. A major reason for that is related to the weather, cold and snow can get pretty brutal in the Midwest. Despite this, there is one shoe that never fails me in the moments I need it — riding boots. In my humble opinion, riding boots that somehow end up working for all kinds of different styles. Going for a country chic look? Riding boots will fit that. Heading to a college football game? Riding boots will fit that.…

  • The Mixed Print Cardigan

    There are so many ways to keep warm during the fall season. A denim, leather, or corduroy jacket are all popular and classic options you will see a lot this season. However, there is another way that is equally classic and on trend to stay warm this autumn. I’m talking about a cozy cardigan, of course! Cardigans are the perfect addition to any look and really can complete an outfit if worn correctly. There are a ton of cardigan styles to choose from, but there is one particular trend in this layering department — the mixed print cardigan.

  • Vionic Autumn Ankle Boots

    I have some exciting news for you all! My obsession with autumn ankle boots has finally found the perfect match! The folks at Vionic Shoes were kind enough to send me a pair of their new autumn ankle boots so I could try them out.

Not only are they super comfortable, but they are chic! Vionic shoes are a brand I have grown up with because they are supportive of the back and legs.…

  • Leap Into Leopard Print

    This is typically the time of year that I struggle to find the appropriate clothing to wear. Either the weather is acting weird, the summer wardrobe I have doesn’t fit the flavor of that day, or I am just too excited for fall that I end up not wanting to wear anything I have been wearing for the past three months. All of this may sound a little odd, but I am hoping I am not alone in this sentiment. For the folks who feel like me, there is hope! Today I am here to introduce you to the trend and subtle wardrobe delight that is leopard print. Animal prints…

  • The Must Have Bag of Fall 2019

    Bags are the kind of accessory that you can easily switch up depending on the outfit you are wearing and complete the overall look. They are also an accessory that can change the appearance of an outfit you are rewearing (because, let’s be honest, we all rewear outfits and there is nothing wrong with that) and just by choosing a different bag you can reinvent the entire feeling of that ensemble. Despite the chameleon-like effect bags have on an outfit, there are always those few silhouettes or sizes that you may prefer. These are the classic, go-to fashion items that create what you will be known for in your daily…

  • Embracing Mint Green for Fall

    Mint green can be a really tricky color to pull off, but when done correctly it can be a real knockout win in the fashion department! This color also acts as the perfect transitional color from summer wardrobe to fall wardrobe. The way I have been tackling the sometimes hard to wear shade of mint green is by wearing my best auburn button up skirt. This skirt falls right in line with the exposed buttons trend and also adds a little flavor of fall. While it is still pretty hot outside where I live, this tank top and skirt combo is perfect for staying cool out and looking fashionable! Although…
