We are in the extremely awkward phase of fall where the leaves are slowly transforming to a warm palette and the summer sun is gradually loosening its grip. Where autumn is making surprise appearances letting us all know she’ll be here for good very soon. I’m sure we can all agree that this is a very stressful time for us Fashionistas/os. Is it summer or is it fall? The real question is: “Should I bust out the faux fur jacket and just live, or should I hold on to the summer vibes?”
While walking around campus searching for fashion inspiration, I ran into this eye-catching beauty. This Fashionista doesn’t let the transition to fall get her in a fashion funk. She effortlessly embraces summer and fall trends. She wears a pair of ripped high-waisted skinny jeans and dresses them up with a grey graphic cobra tank top layered over a black bandeau bralette. She rocks a pair of classic Converse high-tops for comfort as she accessorizes with a black cutout choker, and a radical pair of black shades. Her makeup is simple and radiant with a deep plum lip. What a stellar combination!
What I appreciate most about her style selections is the graphic tank top and bandeau. The tank top gives a summertime vibe, while her layering and choice of color just screams fall. I also love how she manipulated the silhouette of her top by tucking the front into her jeans. This little detail makes her outfit much more dynamic—you go girl!
How To: When you’re contemplating on whether to embrace your fall trends or keep rocking your summer ones during this awkward seasonal change, don’t freight. You can incorporate pieces and concepts from both seasons effortlessly. Play up the layering, they should be light on warm days and heavy on chill days. Also, don’t forget to get creative with your basic silhouettes. You can pin, tuck and roll hems to add a more dynamic appeal to your outfit.
