As the temperatures get colder, so does my mood. But the one thing that helps my seasonal sadness? Shopping!
As much as I live for mini skirts, I die for tall boots and fur coats. Fall is the season for even the most fashionably challenged to dress cute, thanks to…
Layering!
Layering is the most crucial component of fall fashion. Fall is a period where you mix your winter clothes with summer; it’s the season of cold mornings and warm afternoons, such as shivering in your 8 a.m to sweating on your walk home.
The joy of layering is being able to adapt to these random temperature glitches as the day goes on. For me, zip up hoodies, long sleeve shirts and bike shorts work well. Leggings with a zip-up and a shirt is also a great option. Oversized T Shirts, bike shorts, and a long sleeve also fits the season perfectly.
Itemized list for casual activities: class and including fall fashion trends:

What about hitting the strip at night? Fall Fashion for bars and social gatherings?
Trending right now are boyfriend jeans, criss-cross pants (the way button dips down and creates a V), low rise parachute pants, flare pants, leather pants, baggy styles, cargos, and mini skirts!
Long sleeves and short sleeves are still being switched between, but they are almost always cropped. Bustiers and corsets remain, and as the season progresses you’ll see more high neck cropped tops and mock necks.
Jackets and coats! Denim jackets, sporty/racing jackets, and light outerwear is key to staying warm in a crop top but not overheating in the boom boom room.If you are wearing pants, usually a long sleeve will suffice, but in cases of sleeveless tops and bustiers; light jackets and coats will keep you cozy.
The key to wearing your paris hilton micro mini IAMGIA skirt in the colder temperatures is accessorizing with a cute coat and tall boots. Fur coats, racing jackets, and leather jackets mixed with a pair of gogo boots, tall cowboy boots or over the knees are one of my favorite combinations. You will barely notice the four inches of your thigh being frozen, because the rest of you is warm! But, they do sell a variety of unnoticeable fleece lined tights to wear underneath.
Basically, accessorizing with boots and coats allows you to keep your favorite summer tops and skirts around.
