5 Ways To Shake Up Your Basic Fall Styles

I don't know about you, but every fall, the thing I'm most excited about is the donning my favorite clothes! I guess you could call me basic, but I live for "sweaters-and-leggings" weather. With that being said, I'm always looking for different ways to make my autumn looks fresh and cute.

While everyone has their own style, the little style pointers I found while searching Pinterest and my favorite fashion blog can be applied to just about anyone's aesthetic. With that being said, here are five ways to freshen up your fall wardrobe this semester!

1. Go for Hats, Not Scarves, for your accessory

While scarves do keep you warm, there are some days when we only use them--admit it-- for fashion points. Hats are always stylish and depending on the kind you reach for, you have endless options and no worries about overheating on the slightly less crisp days!

2. Bring back your spring florals!

The difference between fall florals and spring florals are honestly so slight but also so huge at the same time. Fall florals are usually darker, moodier, whereas spring florals have a nice lightness to them that sticks out in the crowd!

3. Don't Put Away Your Crop Tops

Even as the temperature drops, you can still keep your favorite statement pieces around! A perfect example: the crop top. With a motorcycle jacket, a flannel, a midi skirt or any other fall favorite clothing item, your crop top is ready for another season's worth of wear!

4. Skip the boots; go for booties!

While I love my fall boots as much as the next person, I have to admit that it's hard to stand out when everyone on campus is wearing calf-high boots. Ankle booties are a nice twist on the fall classic, especially if you go for cut-outs or heels (or both)!

5. Bring on the bright colors!

Fall clothes usually are designed with a darker color palette than spring or summer clothes. While I'm a fan of dark colors, it's also a fun twist to grab a bright statement piece to head to class in!


No matter your style, I hope you have a fashionable fall!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
