A Fall Look That Still Works for Austin Weather

A fall outfit that doesn’t require a full wardrobe overhaul when the weather won’t cooperate.

I don’t think I gave this fall look the attention it deserved the first time around: a vegan leather midi skirt paired with a striped blouse, finished off with strappy sandals, since it’s not quite cold in Austin yet.

That’s the thing about dressing for fall in a place like Houston: you can lean into the season’s textures and silhouettes without needing the layers or boots that colder climates call for. This skirt’s bow-tie waist and button front give it a polished, structured feel, while the zebra-print blouse keeps things from feeling too serious.

The bow-tie waist and button-front details make this skirt feel special without trying too hard.

That quote feels especially true for a piece like this vegan leather skirt: dress it up for the office, wear it out for dinner, or pair it with a T-shirt for something more casual. A great piece should be able to do it all.
