Ultimate Guide to Fall Looks For a Pear Shape Body

Can we talk the best 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!

(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 of fall outfits, because….in my opinion the best fall outfit ideas can rotate a few staple pieces a bunch of different ways.

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 and sweater weather hits the doppler, 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 

the best fall outfits : cozy leggings and sweaters

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 corduroy 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.

Stylish Outfits for Fall: Jeans

When it comes to blue 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 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.  This year I'm loving wide leg jeans with a higher waist.  They're the perfect base for all the best fall outfits whether paired with a flannel shirt and white tee or a cozy sweater and boots.

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).  If you do have more temperate fall weather….I love a great flannel for layering.

Best Fall Outfits: Dresses

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.

Key Pieces for Fall: Boots and Sneakers

Even the most perfect fall outfits aren't complete without shoes.  And for fall cooler days this year? My favorite shoes? A great pair of boots and sneakers.  Comfort and style all in one.  These tan chelsea 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!

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. Want to really wear an on trend look? Try pairing your sweater vests with cargo pants and sneakers.

🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨⠀⠀🛑 Learn from my mistakes, 3 things you should NOT do if you’re running Disney races this year (trust me):⠀⠀1️⃣ Passing Go and Heading STRAIGHT to the parks: I realllllyyyyy wanted medal pictures.  In my running outfit.  So, instead of taking the buses straight from the finish line back to the hotel……we went to the Magic Kingdom.  Took photos.  Went to lunch.  And felt…..terrible by about 1 pm.  So take it from me, finish the race.  Go to the hotel.  Shower. Take a nap.  THEN go to the parks. ⠀2️⃣ Breakfast: ok, mistake number 2.  WHAT WE ATE.  We booked a very cute, very on theme lunch.  It was also very rich and creamy food.  And…..was NOT IT after a race.  Some of us may have gotten sick.  It might have been the food.  Or the lack of sleep.  But, breakfast food (waffles / eggs) would have been a MUCH better choice.  Now bonus points if you can guess where we ate.  Love it, but….not for the first meal after the race.⠀3️⃣ Park Tickets: I spent WAY too much.  I didn’t buy my park tickets in advance and paid full price.  On a race weekend, you’ll probably want tickets for race day and the day after if not two days after.  So….buy them NOW.  While you can get a deal. ⠀⠀🎟️ Which leads to……when I say buy those park tickets now, I mean it. Big News! Undercover Tourist is offering their best ticket deal at BOTH Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort…for a VERY limited time, get Adult Theme Park Tickets at Child Prices.  So whichever race you are running (or races in my case)……snag tickets NOW.  I’m grabbing mine for Wine and Dine and Princess weekend……..⠀🎟️ want a link to the deal? Comment TICKETS PLEASE and I’ll send it your way! ⠀👟 Are you running a Disney Race this year? Which one? ⠀⠀🥇 And if you’re an experienced Run Disney person….what tips do YOU have for first timers?⠀⠀@themeparkfrog @disneyland #FrogHopDLR #rundisney

Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off another year of family halloween costumes.The thing is, I tried to talk Lydia out of these costumes.  It was a cooler day on Saturday and I kept telling her we could just wear jeans and the hats.  Until, I realized…….we may not have that many Halloween seasons left of cute family costumes.  So pink witches we were…..for the kickoff of Legoland’s Brick or Treat. We love Brick or Treat (this is our 3rd year doing it). It’s got some new activities this year, and I L-O-V-E that it’s included in your regular @legolandcalifornia ticket (bonus it ALSO will be included in Kids Free October here in SD).Our favs this year:- the wacky witch trail near the water park entrance- the zombie cheerleaders- halloween themed apple fries- the monster security checkpoint- Jam Out with the Rockers (this meet and greet is HYSTERICAL, scroll for the footage)Brick or Treat takes place on Saturdays in September and then Saturdays and SOME Sundays in October (dates are on the Legoland website).Welp, this makes it official.  Summer has come to an end. Bring on the Halloween fun!#sponsored #LEGOLANDcalifornia
