A fall outfit diary: plum, lace, and a pop of rosy peach

A few years back, I added the Adidas Gazelle sneakers in a muted beige-pink to my wardrobe—and they’ve become a quiet staple. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve likely spotted them in more than a few outfit pairings. Despite their wear, they still look brand new. Today’s look features those same sneakers, styled with plum wide-leg cropped pants, an elegant blouse, and an ivory shacket. To top it off, I threw on my favorite rosy peach sunglasses for a pop of color.

This look strikes a balance between sporty, whimsical, and just a touch beachy—a combination I keep coming back to. The Adidas sneakers set the tone with their classic athletic feel, but the woven bag surprisingly carries that sporty edge too, especially with its Offline by Aerie logo straps adding a casual, throw-on-and-go vibe. The plum wide-leg pants lean fully into whimsy: the color alone feels rich and romantic, almost storybook. Paired with the delicate lace detailing on the blouse, the whole upper half softens into something dreamy. And then there’s that unexpected nod to summer—the woven bag again, and my rosy peach sunglasses pulling in those effortless, coastal elements. Who says you can’t channel a little beach energy in the fall?

The ivory shacket ties everything together with just the right amount of cozy comfort. Its structured design—complete with pockets and a zip closure—keeps the look feeling elevated rather than overly relaxed. It’s the perfect layering piece, striking a balance between softness and shape, and grounding the playful elements of the outfit with a touch of polish.

The vertical stripe gray blouse—with its delicate lace detailing—adds a touch of elegance and romance to this fall ensemble. It’s the kind of piece that elevates the entire look while still feeling effortlessly wearable. Perfect for those warm autumn days spent apple picking or wandering through a farmers market. It brings a soft, hint of countryside romance to an otherwise sporty-chic outfit.

The rich plum of the pants are what I think make this look stand out. Its bold but elegant color makes me feel cozy Fall vibes which brings me so much joy. They also have a unique flirty twist. They have an elegant pink bow on each back pocket. It’s cute, sweet, and flirty which I think is so charming.

The rich plum hue of these pants is what truly makes this look stand out. Bold yet elegant, the color instantly evokes cozy fall vibes that bring me so much joy. But there’s more than just the shade—each back pocket features a delicate pink bow, adding a unique, flirty twist. It’s a sweet, charming detail that elevates the pants from simple to utterly adorable.

This look is definitely one I’ll be reaching for again and again. I hope sharing my outfit diary gives you some inspiration and fresh ideas for your fall wardrobe. If you do put together a similar look, feel free to share it—I’d love to see how you make it your own.
