Can we talk fall outfits and fall looks? I'm sharing my top pieces that are must owns for anyone with a pear shaped body who wants to put together cute outfits for autumn!

Fall outfits: looking for the best staples for fall for a pear shaped body? This article has recommendations for jeans, leggings, dresses, sweaters and more!

(don't forget to pin your favorite fall outfit to your pinterest boards for future reference!)

Remember at the beginning of summer when I wrote a post about my favorite pieces for a pear shaped body for warmer weather? Well, it was a big hit.  Apparently, a lot of us are little in the middle and…..larger in the hips.  It makes sense right? A pear shaped body is the most common body type, and it's HARD to find pieces that fit well.  For me? It's always things that fit in the waist, but not the hips.

Now that we're gearing up for fall, I wanted to share a few of my favorite pieces for cooler weather and your fall wardrobe.  These all flatter a pear shape body, and won't break the bank (you're welcome).  Now, bear with me…..because you're going to be seeing each of these  in a LOT fall outfits, because….I'm all about pieces that you can wear again and again.

The key here?  Cute fall outfits that you can invest in for years to come.  I'm a huge fan of slowly building a fall wardrobe with high quality pieces over time.  I try to invest in a COUPLE new items each fall season, and then to build on that slowly.  You can always add a few items to reflect the latest trends, and that way you'll compliment your favorite fall outfits and classic items without doing a total overhaul of your fall fashion pieces each year.

Fall Looks: Staple for the Fall Season

Let's go over some basic outfit elements.  As the weather cools down, it's important to have options that layer easily for the best fall looks.  You'll want extra warmth options (like a lightweight jacket), and if you want to take your ability to mix and match to the next level? Stay within a complimentary color scheme so that you know everything can go together.

Stylish Outfits for Fall: Leggings Looking for the best leggings? These are perfect for fall outfits!!!

I have to admit, I go through hot and cold phases with leggings.  But in the last couple years? They're a HUGE part of my fall outfits.  From these pleather leggings (spoiler they're my new favorites) to classic black leggings…..they're so versatile (I even have a whole blog post filled with leather leggings outfit ideas) and easy to take from early fall to colder winter months.  Layering is key here.  Try cozy sweaters or a plaid shirt with a graphic tee, sneakers, and over the knee boots.  A great pair of leggings is a super basic and important element for great fall looks that work for any casual day.

My favorite leggings:

/ pleather leggings / basic black leggings / bargain black leggings / 

Stylish Outfits for Fall: Jeans

On the hunt for the best jeans for a pear shaped body? These are perfect!

When it comes to jeans, I'm a tough critic.  Let's be honest, finding the best jeans for a pear shaped body? Can be a bit of a challenge.  I've done a LOT of research, and my favorite pairs are a HUGE staple for me.  Fall looks? Involve jeans most of the time.  For me? I love my lighter button fly and higher waisted pair with tees and layers.  With oversized sweaters and knee-high boots? I'll wear a darker stretch pair.  And for the perfect fit? I even got my own custom jeans made (for about the same price as a pair of high end denim pants!)  My biggest suggestion when it comes to fall denim? Be sure to find a pair you love, and they'll be worth every penny.

My Favorite Jeans:

/ high waisted skinny jeans / stretch jeans / wide leg jeans / custom jeans /

Jackets: These simple jackets are must add ons to any fall outfits!

Fall Looks: Jackets and Layering Pieces

From bomber jackets to classic trenches, you need something for fall that is a great layering piece.  Depending on your climate (it's pretty mild for us here in San Diego) I'd suggest a simple trench coat  or denim jacket and then one trendier option (usually a bomber or leather jacket for me).

Shop My Favorite Jackets:

/ denim jacket / bomber jacket / leather jacket / 

Best Fall Outfits: Dresses

Fall dresses: these dresses are the perfect foundations for the cutest fall outfits!Now, if we're being honest……when it comes to fall outfits or any other season outfits…..I'm a dress girl through and through.  I love that I can wear my favorite sweatshirt dress with sneakers or ankle boots, and that my favorite sweater dress (which I would argue is the number one type of dress to get for fall) can be worn pretty much anywhere.  When it comes to fall dresses, I'd invest in a simple tee shirt dress (this dress comes sleeveless and with sleeves and is GREAT for layering) and a sweater dress that you love.  Those are both timeless options that you can invest in and wear year after year.

Shop my Favorite Dresses:

/ sweater dress / t shirt dress / 

Key Pieces for Fall: Boots and Sneakers

Who doesn't love knee high boots? These are perfect for fall outfits!

Even the most perfect fall outfits aren't complete without shoes.  And for fall? My favorite shoes? Boots and sneakers.  Comfort and style all in one.  These tan tall boots? I've owned them for 5 years, and gotten SO much use out of them.  They're definitely worth every penny!  Other than that, each fall I invest a new pair of sneakers or two.  I love that I can wear them pretty much anywhere!

Shop my Favorite Boots and Sneakers:

/ knee high boots / ankle boots / sneakers /

 

Fall Look Pieces: Sweater Vest and Cardigans

Cardigans, sweaters and warmer layering pieces are some of the best parts of fall fashion.  I love that we can layer, and add textures.  From simple colorblocked cardigans to shawl sweaters……I have a few favs.  My suggestion? Invest in one solid colored open sweater (I love this cream colored one), one great colorblocked one (this is the one I own), and one fun pattern plus additionally one sweater vest.  That will cover MOST situations and give you some great fall looks options.

My favorite cardigans and sweaters:

/ striped cardigan / sweater vest / boyfriend sweater /

Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled muscle? I should have known better.  When training for my race, I didn’t stretch or warm up enough most days and….here we are.Lesson learned.  I’m 4 weeks post race (do not recommend running a 10k on a pulled muscle) and I’m……almost better.  I’m learning to stretch and walk and to take better care of myself so that I can start running again REALLY soon (we’re almost there I think).For now? I’m doing recovery walks and trying to strengthen my leg.  And trying to make sure I get enough protein.  When I talked about Built Bars on my stories, a LOTTTTT of you raced about their Puffs.  Yup, I get it.  They’re AMAZING.  I’ve been bringing them along on my walks (and gluten free friends….they have some great options for us).Have you ever pulled a muscle? What was recovery like for you?#youGOTTAtrythis #BUILTProtein #BUILT #BUILTbar partner
💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zo 💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zoo (and swipe to the end for a close up)⠀⠀🌴Coming to San Diego for Spring Break or a Summer Vacation?⠀⠀📍Let’s talk San Diego Zoo (and yes, I got off a plane yesterday, picked up Lydia and we spent the afternoon at the zoo…..it was LOVELY).⠀⠀A few things to help you plan visits to San Diego and the Zoo:⠀1️⃣ the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park are NOT close together.  The Zoo is close to downtown, the Safari Park is about 25 miles north.  I’d suggest one day at each.  They’re totally unique and both worth a visit.  The Safari Park is smaller, but has REALLY unique exhibits (Walkabout Australia is my favorite).⠀2️⃣ both have some really fun and unique dining experiences that you can reserve in advance: Albert’s at the Zoo is a FANCY and fun sit down option, and The Watering Hole at Kijamii Overlook at the Safari Park is great for happy hour or a fun lunch ⠀3️⃣ there are great kids play areas at both locations, the Wildlife Explorers Base Camp area at the San Diego Zoo is brand new and absolutely amazing⠀⠀✨ Now, a bonus tip.  Undercover Tourist now has NATIONWIDE savings on over 500 attractions in 50 cities and up to 25% on tickets for theme parks, zoo, museums, aquariums, city tours, water parks, and movie tickets. And the deals they have for San Diego?  AMAZING (I’m sharing details in my stories).⠀⠀@themeparkfrog #UncoverSavingsNationwide #ad
In high school, I wasn’t supposed to cross the b In high school, I wasn’t supposed to cross the bridge without permission.⠀⠀I grew up about 20 minutes from San Francisco, on the OTHER side of the Golden Gate Bridge.  Yes, you know that opening scene in Full House where they’re driving across the bridge? I was on the other side of that.  And one of MOST parents’ rules where I grew up? No going into the city without permission.  Sorry mom and dad, it’s been long enough…..now I can disclose that we broke that rule constantly.⠀⠀San Francisco is my favorite city.  It’s intimate and moody and filled with history and some of the best food in the world.  It reminds me of childhood trips to the zoo and Golden Gate Park, it reminds me of my first apartment after college and my first serious relationship.  It reminds me of 22 year old carefree nights with friends and milkshakes at Mels in high school and coffee in North Beach and nights in the Marin Headlands (the closest we were supposed to get to the bridge).⠀⠀So when I had the opportunity to spend 20 hours in my city by the Bay? I took it.⠀⠀Photo Diary:⠀1) nothing like a hotel room to yourself ⠀2) basically drove through a monsoon in San Diego yesterday to make it to the airport⠀3) through the fog? You can see the Golden Gate Bridge⠀4) SFO ⠀5) drove right through North Beach where my mom lived until she was 2, and texted her this photo of a church where she remembers going to weddings as a child⠀6) dinner with Dove, talking about the importance of diversity and representation in gaming avatars ⠀7 and 8) anyone else got a roblox fan in their house? Dove is changing the game (pun intended) and we love to see it.⠀⠀Have you been to San Francisco?
