Happy Fall ya’ll!!!

Welcome to the best season ever, full of the best holidays, amazing food, and the cutest fashions. I, being a fashion major and a clothes hoarder, love the Fall fashion scene. The cozy sweaters, versatile boots, and the layering make my heart happy.

However, living in the great state of Mississippi, Fall is a tad-bit bi-polar.

When I wake up for class, it is a chilly 68 degrees. Yet, when I am walking back for the day, I am sweating in the 85-degree heat. It is ridiculous. How the hell am I supposed to dress, not only for this weather, but in those cozy, heavy, amazing fall clothes in this heat?

All the boutiques are filling their window displays with chunky sweaters and knee-high boots. All the designers are sending models down the runway wearing trench coats, turtle necks, and booties. J.Crew just posted a woman in the classic ‘sweater over button-down’ on their Instagram!

How am I supposed to handle this 20-degree heat shift in the middle of the day, while still trying to look cute and follow trends?

Today, I left the dorm in leggings, a t-shirt, a hoodie, and my New Balances. By the end of the day, I walked home holding my hoodie and sweating my booty off! And don’t even think about putting on makeup or even moisturizer right now because it will just slide right off your face. Right off.

Either this Mississippi heat needs to get out or these stores need to slow down on the taunting comeback of my favorite styles. I long for chilly breezes, pumpkin-spiced lattes, and hay rides wrapped in my cashmere shawl without dying of heat stroke.

Dear the real Fall, please hurry.
