    Coastal Grandma - my late summer early fall FRONT DOOR FASHION box
    Did you guys notice the younger crowd wearing stripped dresses with cutouts, mellow and flowy white and sandy tones, wide legged trousers and a sophisticated look about them with their tortoise shell glasses? This was the year of a renewal of classic dressing. We are all looking for sustainable, stable, non fast fashion pieces to be kept for years (if not decades to come). The coastal grandma look is an aesthetic that was all over the place this summer... and for us here in the warmer regions, it is definitely a look that we can enjoy all the way into November and beyond, if we play our cards right and buy the third layers pieces with Fall in mind.

      Thank you, Beth! I started watching Gilmore Girls (FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER), which came out in the early 2000's, and I could spot some of the trend in those New Englanders Ivy Leaguers... I'm craving fall. So I make my favorite fall tea, turn the AC way down and watch a couple of episodes after dinner every night... I'm enjoying my pretend autumn and it is not even September yet. LOL

    Go to a fabric store. Look at coastal fabric books. Have your favourite shirtwaister dress made up by a seamstress with upholstery fabric. Prewash fabric on a 40 degree wash and tumble dry before sewing. It will be your favourite garment ever. Bespoke CG as it were!!!!!

    So nice to find your channel. I'm also in Houston. I wore the CG look all throughout summer and loved it. I'm finding it challenging to style clothes with a touch of fall fashion in this hot weather. I did manage to put together some nice outfits but incorporated a bit of leopard print in 2 of them. Loved your video. I actually have some lightweight medium blue joggers so very much liked the look you presented. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

      Hi @yourstruly9448, unfortunately these pieces were sent in a styled box and I have not kept the paperwork for that. I will try to do better on future videos. Although, if you are interested in any particular piece, feel free to use my link and order a box from my stylist, Bethany Oddo. Make sure to mention the exact video and she can send it to you to try out. You are not obligated to keep any of it. Good luck!!!

    I think you are beautiful, classic and elegant. The blue striped dress may be fabulous, starched, left open all the way with pants and a camisole top. Poncho or pashmina draped. No belt required. Dress cut too low and big on your armpit.
