A Shirt Dress Is The Smartest Fashion Investment You Will Make This Fall

It's officially "wear a sweater in the morning and regret it by the afternoon" type of weather here in sunny Los Angeles, which leaves many of us torn between chunky knit sweaters and classic monotone crewnecks when laying out our daily wardrobes.

If you're tired of having to stick with short sleeve shirts under campus hoodies with your comfy Lululemon leggings as your "go-to" uniform, allow me to introduce to you—the Shirt Dress.

An inevitable closet staple, the shirt dress features vibrant colors, flowy and breathable fabrics with a eye-catching swish upon each step. With some meticulous planning and the addition of some seasonal accessories, however, it can offer just the perfect amount of coverage and versatility for the Autumnal season.

Check out some of my favorite outfit looks:

Refined yet polished: layered under a camel trench coat with a nude stiletto and Anna Wintour-esque sunglasses.

Casual: paired with a comfy pair of Stan Smith's, a leather crossbody bag and a light cardigan tied around your waist.

Practical for the working lady: layer black glossy leather pants with a statement heel, minimal gold accessories, a classic black clutch and sleek hair.

Fall Vibes: neutral, mustard tone shirt dress paired with your favorite Doc Martens

Light beiges, orange-brown and camel tones can always work with any ankle booties and can even be styled in the colder seasons as a layering item under thicker insulating sweaters. Stripes and patterns may be on trend for the season, but will quickly wear away on functionality after Fall is over.

Don't commit a fashion crime by wearing a beautiful, flowy dress with heavy jewelry and a big-baller watch. Be elegant and simple by wearing a gold charm necklace, minimalistic rings and pearl studs to draw attention away from your bling-bling and instead, wear a statement pair of boots.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
