Happy #FASHIONWEDNESDAY! We are half way through the week, thank goodness! Last week I got to hang out with Michelle and take some fun pictures for Blonde & Ambitious. Today, I am going to show you how to style blanket scarves and duck boots! Everyone loves blanket scarves this time of year (they are so stinkin’ cozy) and duck boots are totally underrated. A few falls ago they made an appearance and now I am totally bringing them back. I love that they are furry on the inside, too, without being tall and cumbersome like my snow boots. They are the perfect “transitional” shoe! So let’s dive into this.
Blanket Scarves and Duck Boots
TIP ONE: Grab that bright lipstick, yo.
It is crucial to this outfit to brighten up your face with a swipe of your favorite matching lipstick. I coordinated my lips with the pop of red in my scarf. Because the rest of my outfit is so neutral, I wanted to make sure I had color on my face. ESPECIALLY since I was wearing glasses. I love my glasses but they hide your eyes a little bit so putting a bright color on your eyes won’t stand out quite as much. I challenge you to go outside your comfort zone and put on the boldest lipstick you own today!
TIP TWO: Neutral but unique.
This is my favorite sweater because it combines the perfect blend of completely neutral (I mean the whole sweater is cream so it doesn’t get more neutral than that) but this particular sweater has a cute little metal design on each arm. I have had it for a few years and am completely obsessed still. I like the 3/4 length sleeves because it can sometimes get a little bit toasty in blanket scarves. Moral of the story is: pick something neutral with a little flair for fun.
TIP THREE: Quack quack.
Ducks boots are one of my favorite types of shoes. They are waterproof so I can wear them in the rain (it is often rainy here in the fall) and they are fuzzy on the inside so that I don’t freeze to death. I want these to be in style forever. Even if they’re not, I think I will still wear them. Who cares what everyone else is doing…I’ma do my own thang. I’m pretty certain these are a knock off of the original Sperry brand, but since they still look fab, it doesn’t bother me. I don’t know what brand they are exactly, but shoes like these aren’t hard to find. I will link to a similar pair at the bottom of this post!!
TIP FOUR: Oh heyyyyy blanket scarf. I see u.
I love blanket scarves. I now have 4 (I know, I know) but what am I supposed to do. I love them. They are so cozy and I am so cold all the time here in Idaho. A couple of weeks ago in Church, I actually took my scarf off and wrapped it around my legs. The name rings true — blankets for all! And I love plaid. 90% of the blanket scarves I have seen are plaid. At least, every single one of mine are. They are the perfect accessory to the neutral color sweater. AND usually you can pull out one or two colors to use in your makeup to tie it all back together.
Okay, kiddos. There you have it. Blanket scarves and duck boots. I have this outfit on repeat and I think you should, too! What are your favorite shoes to wear in the fall?? Do you have a favorite pair that I totally need to buy right now?

Thanks Madison!!!
Such a cute look!
Your photos are absolutely stunning! This outfit is lovely and honestly timeless & I’m all about matching scarfs & lipsticks. I am loving the boots, as well!
Thank you so much!!!
I love blanket scarfs and I totally love your lipstick, what do you use? It is gorgeous on you!
That is Clinique in Ruby Red 🙂
LOVE this outfit! I love that you found a neutral sweater with a little bit of uniqueness to it! It’s adorable. I’m all about the blanket scarves, although I’m at a bit of a loss on how to wear them while keeping the bulkiness around my neck to a bare minimum. Any tips for wrapping them?
I always fold in half so it makes a triangle. Then I wrap it around my neck and tie the ends underneath the looped part in front!! It minimizes bulk!
These are two of my favorite fall accessories!! I have some LL Bean duck boots that I love, and I wish it rained more here so I could wear them all the time. And girl, blanket scarves are the bomb. And SO toasty!
duck boots are the cutest name for them and they are great for fall, cute and practical are the best. It is definitely the season for scarfs and I just bought myself a penguin one :p
I had no idea these were called duck boots! They are so cute! Also blanket scarves are my favorite, especially for movie theaters!!
Speaking my fave fall words with blanket scarves and duck boots! And… as much as I love… you are RIGHT ON about getting too toasty in those blanket scares. Some that I own are like bigger than my king sized bedding. What am I to do with that? haha…
So true!! I have some HUGE ones! Sometimes they are super bulky!
Oh my goodness! Too cute. I love scarves. I’m not as familiar with duck boots, but I need a shoe like that. Are they good in the rain?
They are great in the rain!!!!
I adore this look! I have the same blanket scarf and have to stop myself from wearing it all the time, I love it! I need these boots, precious!!
I’m so excited for blanket scarves and boots! It been a bit warm around here for them but the weather is about to turn. You look fantastic!
You are the cutest thing! I love the glasses/sweater/scarf combo. Makes me want it to be colder!

I have this same scarf & I love it!!
I love the way you’ve styled it & you are rocking that bright red lip!
Love this look! Great scarf- love the contrast with the white sweater 🙂
I have this same scarf!!! I love it! And I love this outfit combo!!
I am OBSESSED with that scarf! Plaid is my jam and I love blanket scarves!
I didn’t know they were called duck boots. I love the shade of your lippie! You look so fab in that outfit.
I love blanket scarfs. They’re so comfortable during the cooler seasons! I wouldn’t mind having one like that, because I love plaid.
Such a perfect outfit for fall! I have had a love affair with duck boots since I was a kid! I think they are just so cozy and functional at the same time!
You are just the cutest thing ever. Couldn’t agree more on always opting for that bright lip!

Thanks Erica!! You are always so sweet!
I bought duck boots from LL Bean and I didn’t know how to use them. You’ve motivated me to wear them! Look so cute.
Loving this whole outfit. So perfect for fall. I’ve never purchased duck boots before. But I want to for this winter since we get bad snow. lol
Your outfit is super cute! I love fall outfits most. I own a pair of duck boots myself, and you are totally right, the best! I also just started my own plaid blanket scarf collection, they are literally the best! Thanks for sharing all these tips.
That scarf pattern is definitely a must have. It looks wonderful on you. I love it.
Love, love, love this look! It just SCREAMS fall!

I love your entire outfit, especially your scarf! Such a fun look for casual days, but while still looking super cute. I have been seeing a lot of blanket scarves lately. You just made me realize that I really need one!
I love it all! The scarf, the glasses, and the boots! This is exactly why I love fall so much! I need to go out and find myself a nice cozy scarf. Luckily the weather is getting perfect for it!
Your photos are lovely and I love that scarf especially on the white sweater. Scarves have a great way of changing the look of an outfit and this one is easily combined with so many colour choices.
I love that scarf so much! Every time I am in the store I notice myself eyeballing the scarves this time of year. It is still super warm here, but I will have some scarves, soon!
What a nice photos these are all looks stunning! I really love your outfit
I love my blanket scarves. I tie opposite ends together and do the same on the other side. I can slip my arms between the knots and wear it like a jacket. I get so many compliments!
Living in Florida now I don’t really get to wear scarfs anymore unless I go Up North. Amazing what a scarf can do for your wardrobe!
How adorable are you? The bright red lips go so well with the outfit! I have a blanket scarf just like this!
You are too adorable in those glasses!!! I absolutely love this outfit and would be so great for a cool weathered hike, or in a more rainy city! I have that same scarf and I love it!!
GURRL!!! This entire outfit is FIRE! I’ve been wanting to try a blanket scarf for a while now. You’ve convinced me to do it!
I am so glad you liked it Donna!!!!!
I love the scarf, but the duck boots are by far my favorite. Duck boots were huge when I was in school I owned several styles and colors, glad to see that they are still so fashionable.
The swipe of lipstick is the perfect finishing touch!
Loving this outfit! I’ve been thinking about picking up a blanket scarf especially since we now live in Michigan! This one is so cute!
I think this outfit is my favorite of yours, the colors compliment you so well. If only Miami got cold, I could never wear a warm outfit like that.
Thank you so much!!!!!
You look so adorable!! Fall is my favorite season because I love layering, and I absolutely love blanket scarves for layering!
I always have thought duck boots were the cutest, but I’ve never known how to wear them. I’m going to get me a pair now that I see them on you. 🙂
I love wearing scarves during the colder days and nights of the year! I really think it’s awesome how you styled this! And I appreciate all the tips to make it stand out too!
I love duck boots! They have been a favorite since I was in high school and they are still stylish.
OMG, I love Blanket Scarves and just bought a new one. They are such a staple in my winter clothes but have never heard of duck boots. They look so cute and comfy. Would check them out in stores soon.
I have a blanket scarf almost identical! I love it, but the BF calls it my picnic blanket, lol. But what do guys know?! 😉 I am also in love with your glasses… I’ve been on the hunt for new frames myself.
LOVE this look! I always wanted a pair of bean boots but they sold out so quickly and I never wanted to pre-order them! I swear by blanket scarves and I owned quite a few myself back when I lived in the U.S. I wish I was bringing them out again this season 🙁
Blanket scarves are so in at the moment! Perfect for a crisp fall morning. And your rain boots! Love!
