Fall Accessories

Happy Friday #follygirls!

I hope you all had a fantastic week. 

I went to the Flaming Lips concert last night and I had a blast! It was an outdoor concert with some light showers, so I got a bit chilly and wish I had brought a scarf like our NEW Biggie Scarves...

P'Orange Hounds

 

We have a TON of scarves at Folly like our very popular silk scarves. The Biggie scarves are perfect for Fall and sooo soft and cozy that you'll feel like you're wrapped in a warm blanket. Just try not to get cozy and fall asleep at work! 

Not only do scarves add a beautiful pop of color to your outfit, but they're the perfect layering piece I always try to have in my bag or car during fall and winter time. I love grabbing a scarf before I leave the house, rather than a jacket if the weather isn't cold enough for a jacket. 

If you still struggle to plan for our temperamental Portland weather like me: try throwing a scarf into your purse next time you leave the house to stay prepared for any weather change. #portlandnativetip.

The next accessories I want to talk about today are the three NEW Sweetie Bags by Busy Mushroom aka by our wonderful lead seamstress Ying.

Polka Cutie

 

And here's what I would pair with the polka cutie bag:

 

Next up: mittens! Similar to scarves, mittens are also a great accessory to have in your bag this fall. 

What I love about these mittens is that they're finger-less; meaning you can use your phone, button your pants, and open cans, all while your fingers stay warm inside of these cutsie little mittens.

Black/Golden

Oh and did I mention that they have a flap that unbuttons to cover your fingers? What more could you ask for !?

  

 

Well.. you could ask for more Fall weather to come faster. Don't worry, were trying. 

Have a great weekend #follygirls! Thanks for reading. 

Aya's (bad) joke of the week:

How do you make leaves fall off of trees?
You don’t - they do it autumn-atically

 

 

Stripes, Stripes, and More Stripes!

Happy Friday #follygirls!

I hope you're all doing well this Friday afternoon. We finally are getting some rain in Portland today! Its finally staring to feel like fall and I'm loving it.

Today also marked my first pumpkin spice latte of the season. While I hate to admit it.. I really am such a sucker for that sweet pumpkin-y goodness. I'm sorry! I swear I support my local coffee shops 99% of the time...

Moving on...we have so many cute fall pieces in the store currently; and I can't wait to show you all! I'm not sure about you... but I LOVE stripes. Especially striped tops. Starting off with one of my personal favorites- the Beth Top in Newton Stripe!

 

 

  Here's a little layout of what I'd wear with this Beth top!

 

Other striped tops were loving right now include Classico Stripes, Lumi Cowl in Boston, and Lumi Cowl in Nate stripe. Call me a zebra because I'm gonna be in all stripes this fall!

 

 

 

 

I love how a striped top can be dressed up or down, and goes with a wide variety of different bottoms.

 

Do you wear your stripes with other patterns? Or with solid colors? Let me know in the comments; I'm curious to hear.

 

I tend to pair my stripes with plain bottoms, but for example- this Natalie vest in Pinz with matching Davis pants totally changes my mind! I think the matching stripes set looks so cute here paired with a black top underneath.

 

 

 

Even though I wear stripes all year round, I do think there's something about a striped top that just screams fall. I'm not sure why...

 

Maybe subconsciously I think of Charlie Brown when I think of Fall, and a lot of Charlie Brown characters wear stripes...

 

 

Who knows why!?

But speaking of Charlie Brown and fall- did you all see the new bags by Busy Mushroom we just put out!?

 

  

 

So FREAKING CUTE! 

 

Before I sign off for the day, lets pair The Charlie Brown Bag with some new fall favs! 

 

 

 

That's all I have for you today. I hope you all have a fantastic rest of your day!

Falling into Fall

Happy Friday #follygirls!

We're falling into Fall over here at Folly. 

I wanted to talk about some new fall items we have! Starting off strong, we have our Patricia blazer in District! The Patricia is a fitted and easy blazer that layers just right over dresses or your favorite jeans. A blazer is a great cardigan alternative. Check out our blog post all about blazers and why we love them! 

 

Wear this Patricia blazer with jeans, dresses, or pair it with our MATCHING Miles Pants for the cutest suit ever! 

 

The Miles District Pants have a twisted seam, and you'll be twisting heads with how amazingggg you look in these trousers. The twisted seam gives them the cool dungaree shape! These pants are cute and comfy for work or play. 

Don't forget to send us pics of you in your Folly clothes! Whether you're working or playing, snap a pic and DM us at @follypdx to be featured.

And if you're wondering what top our model is wearing with the matching set... that would be the Darline Top in Olive Dot! This Darline top is so darlin'.

Next I want to show you these perfect fall sweaters that just came in!

Walda Sweater - Slate Blue

Wosha Sweater - Brickish

If you've been looking for a comfy and cute solid colored sweater, look no further. These classic long sleeve sweater/ tees have a thermal/ waffle-knit like texture; keeping you warm and feeling like your wearing your PJ's!

Before I leave, I must also show you all our new Gemma pants in Petite Chouette and the Trista in Capo.

Gemma Pants

Trista Pants

 

These pants are giving cuteness! They're giving fall! The best part about both of them? They have elastic waistbands! There's no need to compromise comfort and coziness for looking fashionable. 

At Folly, we say "life is hard, your clothes should be soft." 

Come on down to Folly and get your cozy fall pieces now!

 

 

Aya's poem of the week: 

 

Falling into fall,

It's time to grab a shall!

 

I get in my car,

but I don't have to drive far.

 

I step into Folly

and exclaim "Gosh Golly!"

 

The colors seem to shine just for me.

 

I leave with a sweater and newfound glee

as I have discovered the world of folly.

 

 

Seasonal Changes & Clothing Changes

Happy Thursday #follygirls!

We hope you're having a great week.

Today I want to talk about transitional pieces as we head into fall. 

If you're thinking: “hold up Aya… it's still August”

You'd be correct…but fall is right around the corner! 

And if Starbucks releases their Pumpkin Spice Latte at the end of August (August 26th to be exact... I looked it up), then I’d say August is a respectable time to talk about fall.

So let's jump in shall we?!

We just put out our Beth top in Newton Stripe, and let me say- these colors scream cozy fall!

 

The Beth top has a split neck, with 3/4 sleeve with cuffs. The fabric on this Beth top is soooo soft and amazingly lightweight.

I think the Beth top is a great example of a piece of clothing that can serve you well in almost any season. It's great to have now in August while its still warm, but will soon be getting too chilly in the evenings for just a short sleeve. Throw this buttery soft Beth top on, and you'll stay comfy and cute!

Another new piece we put out is the Lumi Cowl top in Nate Stripe! This Lumi is stretchy, slinky, and soft.

In the photos, Sarah is wearing the Lumi Cowl with the Miles Felipe pants. I also think this top would go great with black or blue jeans! My personal fall fashion go-to is a striped top with black pants. You can never go wrong with a striped top; a timeless classic. 

And imagine this Lumi paired with our Adelia Coat in Draper on top- so chic! The Adelia is a great transitional item as we head into fall. The Adelia is intended for a loose n easy fit and has HUGE pockets! These are super limited! Everything is cut and sewn, so when these are gone, they are gone!

Yes, we still have some summer left, so make sure to go out and soak in the Portland sun before it goes away! While we love the sun, we're also so excited for fall and to release more of our fall items. So stay tuned for more Folly! 

 

Aya's haiku of the week: 

September leaves speak,

telling August to wrap up;

impatient for change.

  

Best,

Aya

We just got in some new prints of our favorite Thunderpants, which make for an easy and affordable gift.
