Fall Essentials: Bell Sleeves + Cropped Pants from Zaful

Bell Sleeves and Wide Leg Cropped Pants for Fall

I’ve been doing research for you, my friends! From following my favorite fashion bloggers, to discovering new trend setters, to checking out fall catalogues, to reading about shows at New York Fashion Week–From cropped pants to see-through mesh, I’ve been coming up with a list of trends I want to embrace this fall and which ones I want to watch before I make them my own. Over the next several weeks, I’ll be sharing my new finds from online stores like Zaful to new boutiques like Versona in RVA.

Bell sleeves and cropped pants are both biggies on my fall trend watch list. After wearing a few bell sleeve dresses this summer, I knew I needed some basic bell sleeves I could wear every day into the fall. Enter Zaful, an online boutique with affordable prices on current trends. The site is  full of off-the-shoulder tops, lace-up blouses, coordinating outfits, and chokers in all styles.

It didn’t take long before I stumbled upon this lace-up bell sleeve shirt. I’ve worn in several times already. You may have already seen it on Instagram. I plan on wearing it with jeans and boots for fall winery days, tucking it into a sexy skirt for a night out, and pairing it with my favorite colored pixie pants and flats for a funky errands look. Add one more outfit to the list: rust orange wide leg cropped pants I also found at Zaful. Click here for Zaful coupons.

Hint for the short girls: If you want to rock the cropped pants or culottes trend, be prepared to get a hem! These originally hit my ankles and I was hoping for lower calf hemline. Just a $10 trip to my favorite seamstress made it happen. If they were any longer, I’d look like a stump. If they were any shorter, I think I’d look like I was wearing capris.

I wore this out for a casual summer date night in Richmond, VA. How about this mural? This funky, warm and edgy mural  by Nico Cathcart is behind Banditos in The Fan. Mmmm, queso.
