Fine Fall Fashions

   Fall; football games, haunted houses, sleepover, apple cider, school sporting events, what's not to love about this season? And although sweatpants and a sweatshirt seems like the only option when your watching your school's football team Friday night, there are some way better options on night's that aren't so cold. Let's take advantage of the warm weather while we have it! Whether you're headed to school or to your best friend's house for a weekend party, staying in style is key, no matter how tempting it gets to just wear your pajamas to school! Let's save those for those Friday night games when the weather is nippy.
   I've mentioned this before but especially now that school has started, flow tops are the best tops. (Hint: Forever 21 is the best place to get them, especially now!) They don't just make your body look good but they are the best trend out there besides skinny jeans! Everybody's wearing them, it's essential to have at least one! Pair up your new flow top with a nice pair of skinny jeans! Flow tops match perfectly with skinny jeans like peanut butter matches perfectly to jelly. Plus, it creates a stylish and cute look! Now, we can't just walk around barefoot, can we? Of course not! Especially not at the beginning of boot season! Find a pair of nice boots, calf high, ankle, biker boots, fringe, anything that goes! Your outfit will be complete and you will be getting "Where did you get this from?" questions all day long!

Fall-Fabulous Ideas

With the fiery leaves starting to crisp and fall, and the weather beginning to get breezy, we pack away all our bright, eccentric summer colors and patterns and say hello to fall! I've mentioned numerous times that color is what can make or break an outfit. However, during the season of fall, neutrals are more the thing to go with the scenery. You know, grays, blacks, creams, and even some pink is great for fall and school! In addition, the weather is starting to get a little breezier and chillier. Sending away our short sleeves isn't always the easiest thing to do but there are so many marvelous winter shirts on the racks now! And, fall is tricky, it can be hot or cold. Well, I found a three quarter sleeve shirt! Push up the sleeves when it's hot, leave them down like a sweater when it's cold. It's something I can wear from fall to spring! The best, part it's also a flow top! It hangs loosely off the chest creating a chic look that is in. And it's gray! Pair it with some capirs and Sperry's and it's an outfit! I suggest taking a trip to Hollister where I found my top, they have it in many different colors and neutrals! 

This is the shirt I bought. (Don't mind the wrinkles)

Fall Fashions: What's In and What's Out With Jeans and Shoes

Fall is slowly creeping up. Pack away your bikinis and flip-flops, it's jean season! This year, to come along with fall colors and neutrals, boots are the new hot thing. This fashion really broke out last winter but it's carrying over! I have 5 fashion do's and don'ts for you when picking out your outfits with jeans and boots and other shoes this fall.

1) DO wear skinny jeans with calf high boots. Skinny jeans are the hot thing, everybody's wearing them, duh! Well, this style fits perfectly into calf high boots, and create a great look. Pair them with a flow top or a knit sweater on top. 

2) DON'T tuck ANY boots into flare jeans. Over the years, flare jeans have made their way out of the fashion world. Well, they're back. Heads up though, they're only for the taller chicks. Whenever you wear flare jeans, don't ever tuck any type of boot whether it's a 3 layer fringe or Uggs. With these jeans not being so tight, when you tuck them in, which will be difficult in the first place, it looks wishy-washy and not put together. No one wants that. 

3) DO wear ankle boots with skinny jeans. Ankle boots are just another great style of boots. Although calf high boots look the best with skinny jeans, ankle boots are a close second. Again, the jeans tuck perfectly into the boots and create a chic style everyone will die for. 

4) DON'T wear shoes without a heel with flare jeans. Flare jeans are meant for the taller girls now. Wearing something like an ankle boot that you don't tuck in or just a basic wedge will make the outfit look great and cool! However, wearing flats with jeans ruin the look that makes you look as tall as you are, making you look shorter. And as I said, flare jeans are NOT for shorter girls.

5) DO wear flats with jeggings. Wearing flats with flare jeans isn't a smart move but with jeggings, it looks fabulous! Not every shoe you wear with jeans is going to look great with jeggings but flats do! It creates a sleek look for you and adding the perfect shirt to the mix sums it up!

Take these rules into consideration, we all want to look hot this year, right?

Fabulous Fall Jewelry

Jewelry and accessories are a great part of an outfit. They can make or break an outfit. This year, neons and rubber bracelets are out. The new look is teal, silver and gold, for a more mature and fashionable look. I have five pieces of jewelry, to give you some ideas on what great accessories you want for fall this year!

1) Necklaces with animals and symbols are a great way to go. They create a mature yet mysterious and chic look. Whether it's an owl or the Eiffel Tower, a great necklace is eye catching and fashionable too!

2) Bangles are another great accessory. There are so many colors to choose from! Well let me be the first to tell you that you can kiss the oranges and yellows goodbye and eliminate them while picking a few out. Why? Colors like that clash with outfits and it makes you look non-collected. I do love color, but color means having flowers on your blouse not neon skinny jeans. When choosing which one of these Indian bracelets you like, choose silver, it goes with almost everything! 

3) Dangling earrings can add a lot to an outfit, depending on what you're wearing. However, sometimes simpler is better. If you're sporting a blouse then don't wear a pair of your cutest silver hoops! It takes away from the shape of the blouse rather than adding something that it would add to a flow top, per say. Something like little diamonds, or even tiny little bows, will do just fine and look super cute!

4) Bracelets and flow tops are like peanut butter and jelly, a perfect pair. However,the fad of big breast cancer bracelets is out. Something like a charm bracelet from pandora or a tiny silver little bracelet of any style is a better, more mature, look. It adds a chic element to the outfit. 

5) Starting into middle school is the start of some more mature jewelry, like rings. Again, using the amazing colors of gold and silver, there are rings out there dying to get with an outfit! Pick out a medium sized ring that's, of course, gold and silver for an outfit of yours this year. With rings, abstract styles like a funky twist of a dotted oval are the best choice. See who you attract this year!

Find your forte in jewelry and what will help you spice up a great outfit! You'll be cool, chic, and unstoppable!
