Fall Trends with Marks & Spencer

fall trends with Marks & Spencer- Girl Wonder Life rimless sunglasses, on-trend sunglasses swiss dot ruffle top - budget-friendly trends one shoulder top for fall black top and jeans for fall One shoulder trend top - Girl Wonder Lifefall one shoulder top, black denim how to transition into dark denim for fall

With October right around the corner, and fall officially here (even if it’s just the calendar saying so, not the weather), it’s time to get into a new mindset in terms of our closet and clothing decisions. I still plan on mixing trends into my wardrobe this coming fall, including  a-symmetrical silhouette tops and high-waisted denim.

Top // Denim // Earrings

In partnership with my friends at Marks & Spencer, I’ve put together my own take on a chic and classic look for fall. Quite honestly, I’d wear this outfit all year around weather permitting. But the fresh take on the a-symmetrical silhouette top with its subtle polka dots and ruffled sleeves make for a statement piece that will definitely have people asking, ‘where can I buy that top?’ and don’t we all love the flattering feeling that comes with such a question?

I love adding on-trend pieces into my closet, but I don’t necessarily like to pay a hefty price-tag for them. At M&S, you can find so many on-trend items, like this one-shoulder top, for a great price that doesn’t sacrifice quality. I know I’ll get so much wear out of this swiss dot top, and already plan to wear it dressed up for work events with a pair of black pixie pants and black heels.

You won’t find me entering fall without a great pair of high-waisted jeans. In the fall, I think we all gravitate more towards dark washed denim, too. As a petite gal, I usually have a hard time finding the perfect high-waist jean. But M&S did it again, and introduced me to their high-waist black jeans that sit nicely on my waist and pull everything in too.

I like breaking up an all-black ensemble with neutral accessories, but you can also add a color pop with a bright bag, pair of heels of statement bag too. I’m looking forward to seeing where these trends, the a-symmetrical silhouette top and high-waisted denim will take me into fall!
