5 Effortless Fall Outfits to Take You From Pumpkin Patch to Downtown Baraboo
Fall in Baraboo hits different crisp air, fiery leaves, cozy vibes. Whether you’re heading out to pick pumpkins, strolling the Square, grabbing hot cider, or meeting friends, these five looks will keep you stylish and comfy. Featuring new arrivals from Johnny’s Girl to make switching up looks easy.
Look 1: Rusty Layers at the Pumpkin Patch
Key Pieces:
-
Nina Button-Up Cardigan in Rust Johnny's Girl Boutique
-
A basic tee (white or cream)
-
Denim / favorite jeans
-
Ankle boots or rugged sneakers
-
Optional: cozy scarf or knit beanie
Why It Works:
The rust cardigan is a perfect fall color — warm and earthy. Layering it over a tee keeps things relaxed but putting it over jeans + boots makes it outdoors-friendly for pumpkin patches, hay rides, or apple picking.
Styling Tip:
Let the cardigan be the hero. Keep the rest neutral. If it’s chilly, throw in a light vest or swap the boots for something with a little grip (for muddy patches).
Look 2: Relaxed Comfort for Coffee + Shopping
Key Pieces:
-
Pigment Washed Relaxed Fit Sweatshirt Johnny's Girl Boutique
-
Leggings or slim straight-leg jeans
-
Beanie
-
Combat boots or chunky sneakers
Why It Works:
This look is about comfort without sacrificing style. The relaxed sweatshirt has vintage fade vibes, oversized fit, perfect for lounging or a casual walk downtown.
Styling Tip:
Tuck in the front of the sweatshirt slightly to define the waist. Accessorize with layered necklaces or a cross-body tote to elevate.
Look 3: Quilted Matching Makes a Statement
Key Pieces:
-
Bethel Quilted Printed Skirt Johnny's Girl Boutique
-
Wynne Quilted Jacket Johnny's Girl Boutique
-
Lightweight long sleeve or sweater
-
Tall boots or booties
Why It Works:
This set is perfect when you want to look more put together maybe for photos, dinner downtown, or one of our many fall events. Quilting adds texture and warmth without being bulky.
Styling Tip:
Balance the quilted pieces with something simple underneath neutral tone, slim silhouette. Let the jacket and skirt be the stars. Throw on a pair of tights if it’s cooler.
Look 4: Polished & Business-Casual
Key Pieces:
-
Houndstooth Wide Leg Pants Johnny's Girl Boutique
-
A fitted turtleneck or the Striped Turtleneck Knit Top (see Look 5) or a crisp blouse
-
Structured coat
-
Heeled ankle boot or loafers
Why It Works:
Houndstooth gives that classic, sophisticated fall aesthetic. Wide-leg pants are comfy but still feel grown-up. Great for lunch meetings, evenings, or even church
Styling Tip:
Keep the top more fitted because the bottom is wide. Tuck in or do a half tuck. Accessorize with a belt, earrings, maybe a bold lip if nighttime.
Look 5: Striped Turtleneck Layers + Texture Play
Key Pieces:
-
Striped Turtleneck Knit Top Johnny's Girl Boutique
-
Layer with a cardgian or jacket (depending on weather)
-
Houndstooth Pants or dark wash jeans
-
Leather boots or Chelsea boots
Why It Works:
Stripes + texture + layers = fall magic. The turtleneck adds warmth and polish, stripes keep it playful. Pairing with texture (cardigan, quilting, or houndstooth) gives interest. This is a go-anywhere outfit.
Styling Tip:
Mix patterns carefully: if using houndstooth, let stripes be subtle. Use accessories (belt, bag, scarf) to tie in tones like rust, camel, black.
Bonus Tips for All Looks

Color Palette: Think rust, cream, camel, olive, forest green, warm browns. These colors play well together so you can mix pieces.

Footwear Matters: For pumpkin patches / outdoors, wear boots with grip. For downtown, you can trade off with stylish booties.

Layer Smart: Mornings/evenings in Baraboo get cool. Have outer layers you can easily take off.
