How to Wear a Beret for Fall in So Cal

I was especially excited to release this new custom beret on Whim Things because it's perfect for styling during the colder weather that is taking over Orange County. I just love the smell and feeling of crisp air after it rains (as it just starting pouring a couple days ago after a streak of heat waves), but whether cold or warm, this beret is the a great outfit accessory to add a touch of Parisian flair and keep your head warm or just to accessorize.

This isn't just any beret, my Whim Things business partner and I customize the back with sayings in sequin trim! This beret in particular has the word bonjour  embroidered onto it, and now I'm dreaming of going back to Paris and bringing this beret with me! For this look in particular, I wanted to style the beige colored beret with rich autumn colors. This top has a bold floral print in burgundy and mustard yellow colors and a tie-around detail, it also sits a little higher (like a crop top) when worn, so I paired it with a pair of high-waisted wide leg pants. Style a crop or flowy top, or a bodysuit with a pair of high-waisted wide leg trouser and complete with a Whim Things beret for an effortless, European-inspired look. Get the look:
