Obsessing Over Fall Arrivals

by Adorn Team Posted on September 6, 2017

When the leaves start changing, it feels like a good time for our wardrobe to start changing too! Our team headed to the Society Hotel to style all of our new pieces for the new Fall Look Book and we are obsessed!

The kids are back in school, Summer vacations have come and gone, and now it’s time to treat yourself to some of these wonderful Fall pieces with the first day of the season right around the corner… Grab a cup of coffee with your girlfriends and come by any of our boutiques!

Make a statement in this Veronica M Jumpsuit! Add on an extra layer with a cozy cardigan to make it the perfect outfit for lounging around, yet still looking dressed up enough for a coffee date!

With holiday parties coming up we are dying to get our hands on this chambray number! Dress it up with a pair of heels and some jewelry, or if you want to stay casual it’s the perfect dress to go over a pair of black leggings and some boots! Classy and comfortable, it’s definitely going to be a staple for the season!

While the weather is still transitioning and we have a couple of warmer days left in Portland, check out this new Veronica M wrap dress!! And once the cold weather gets here check out our leather jackets to create an awesome contrast with the florals!

We’re all about denim this Fall and there are so many to choose from! Come by and check out our Rails button-downs, like this one in Pink Poppies! Throw on a velvet motor jacket and you’re all set!

This Margaret O’Leary Cashmere V Neck Sweater pairs perfectly with this Storm & Marie Dona Skirt for a nice, collegiate look!

Sometimes it’s nice to just have a comfortable outfit, perfect for running errands in. How about a pair of jeans and a trendy tee? Add a statement piece with this colorful cardigan!

We love a good button down for work! Such as this one from Mo:Vint! But even more we love all of our newest bomber jackets!

Almost all of the stripes on this dress match Pantone’s Fall Color Forecast and it’s so versatile! Dress it up with heels, dress it down with leggings and boots, and it works great with a cropped or long jacket. It’s the perfect go-to when the day calls for more than a cozy sweater.

If bombers and leather jackets aren’t your thing, check out this new camo jacket from Sanctuary!

Employee of the Week: Lynn

Lynn Mayo

Retail Sales Therapist

How long have you been working here?

Just shy of one year.

What inspires your personal style the most?

Non-intentional individualism. Simple (yet interesting) design, solid colors, classic lines with an occasional touch of asymmetry.  I do not tend toward the “tried too hard” look.

What is your favorite part about working with Adorn?

The overall vibe.  On any given day I walk into a beautiful retail boutique showroom with fabulous music playing and a team of individuals who work hard and have fun.  By sheer nature of this vibe, the customer(s) feel good, at ease, and have a wonderful shopping experience.

What is your favorite brand carried by Adorn? 

Sorry, I don’t have just one. With that said, however, Prairie Underground has a design aesthetic that can be very simple, yet creative.  I love Prairie.

What is your favorite current trend? How would you style it?

I love “frayed ankle” jeans.  The fray adds simple “style.”  I like to wear mine with an oversized T that I tuck into one pocket (a look that I see often now, but swear I was the trendsetter for about 5 years ago!  Then I’ll finish it off with my favorite “Free People” flats.

Which designer inspires you the most?

Armani.  And I have never met an Armani jacket that I did not fall in love with.  I also love the simple classic designs by Vince.  Many of the brands we carry at Adorn remind me of some of my favorite Vince pieces.

What fashion advice do you have for the upcoming season?

Keep it simple.  Don’t “over style.”

What is your favorite item you have ever purchased from Adorn?

Seriously?  I only get to choose one?  Then it will have to be my new Veronica M Navy Jumper.  It is simple and elegant, and it is the most comfortable piece of clothing I have ever worn.  It’s nice to have a classy piece that feels like pajamas when you’re wearing it!
