From a girl who absolutely lives at the mall and feels like she's absolutely thriving while wearing something new for the first time, autumn is arguably one of the best times for fashion. The weather starts to be crisp and you can smell the fresh scent of a bonfire somewhere in the neighborhood. The holiday cups at Starbucks start making their appearance, holiday music starts playing (a little too early) on the radio; everything is putting you in the holiday spirit.
And if you're anything like me, the outfit you have on is for sure going to make or break your day and it's super easy for it to make your day with the perfect fall outfit.
1. Boots
With the perfect pair of boots, anything seems possible. Whether they are knee-high boots or little booties, they can be the finishing touch to any outfit. Also, in the summer, we have to worry about what our toes look like and I don't know about you, but I'm not one to get a pedicure often, so either my toes are painted by me (yikes!) or not painted at all. And with boots comes fuzzy socks! My favorite part of fall and winter is the fuzzy socks I can wear to keep my feet warm and cozy!
2. Sweaters
"Sweater Weather" isn't just a song by The Neighbourhood. It's one of the many amazing aspects of fall fashion. All that Thanksgiving stuffing is definitely gonna make me bloated, thank goodness for oversized sweaters to act as if Thanksgiving overeating never happened.
3. Plaid/Flannel
Flannel Friday turns into Flannel Every Day. It can look good either buttoned up or thrown over your favorite band T-shirt. Plaid goes with jeans and, of course, leggings (leggings go with everything.) Either way, it's extremely comfortable and trendy.
4. Scarves
As we are faced with the abominable cold, one of the few options we have to protect our neck and faces are the cozy wool scarves, that are also a great fashion statement.
5. Dark Lipstick
Dark lipsticks can tie any fall outfit together. I'm always finding an excuse to wear lipstick, even if my outfit is a complete mess. Find me in my early classes wearing a sweatshirt and leggings, but rocking (or at least attempting to) the matte, dark lipstick.
6. Tights
Dry skin is a big part of the weather getting colder and moisturizing can be hard to remember, especially when it comes to your legs. This is when tights become a blessing when you want to wear a dress. And they look super cute!
7. Hot Beverage
Where would we be if we didn't have a hot beverage to warm us up as we face the tundra on the way to class? This is a major part of my fall outfit.
