One one of my personal goals this season was to break outside of my comfort zone by including other colors into my wardrobe. Since I’m such a naturally fun and bubbly person, you would think I would enjoy wearing colors that are truly representative of my personality. However, this is not always the case.

For anyone that is familiar with my background, I grew up in the Northern state where the temperature drops near the middle of September. As a result, my closet includes varying shades of navy, green, and grey. Now don’t get me wrong, I love all colors, but I often find myself drawn to these colors more so than others.

Recently, I decided to make a few minor adjustments to my wardrobe by adding other colors like red, burgundy, khaki, orange, yellow, and brown to the mix!

With all that being said, I decided to embrace the final days of autumn in this week’s #MensStyleMondays post. Scroll down for the full feature!

Jacket: Gap | Waist Coat: Urban Outfitters | Shirt: Ralph Lauren
Jeans: River Island | Socks: H&M | Shoes: Steve Madden

For those of you wondering, this season is all about plaid and flannel shirts. In almost any major retail store, you will find a variety of flannel shirts either folded on a shelf or hanging from a rolling rack. I received my flannel shirt as an old Christmas Gift a few years back, and it was purchased from the Polo Outlet store. Although this shirt was designed Ralph Lauren, it’s not tailored to your body. If tucked in your pants or worn for long periods of time, the shirt gets a little loose on the sides. For fashion safety purposes, I wore this shirt under a tweed waist coat from Urban Outfitters, and a khaki jacket from GAP. This waist coat was purchased on sale way back in 2011, and I have loved it ever since. For the jacket, I picked it up during one of those end of the season GAP sales for $27. That’s not bad for a khaki jacket if you ask me!

I decided to dress down my outfit with a pair of skinny jeans, manufactured by River Island.

Continuing with this autumn themed look, I decided to accessorize my double monk-strap leather shoes with a pair of red socks. Now, I know what you are thinking, dress shoes and denim? Well, if you own the right pair of jeans and shoes, why not wear them together! That’s the great thing about personal style, you can bend the rules to suite your fashion needs.
