Being fashion-forward isn’t as easy when stepping foot in a whole new country. The unknown doesn’t even begin to describe trying to fit in. Living in Florence is like a dream, though the weather does have its ups and downs. With chilly mornings and steamy afternoons, deciding what to wear for the fall season can be hard.
Not only do you have to prepare for a weather whirlpool, it’s also important to stay fashionable and comfortable ready for a day’s journey. I ran into a fellow Style Guru who is also studying Fashion here in Florence, Italy. She had the perfect layered look ready for fall. This trendy Style Guru had the perfect mix of basic garments with a personal flair.
Her army green jacket is just the right layer for a chilly morning ready for travel. It’s just the right weight to throw on when it’s cold, or to tie around her waist or even throw in her bag as the day warms up. As a student her outfit is a great mix between comfort and style. Her outfit prepares her for a day of studies and a day of exploring.
What makes this look stand out is the transition of wearing a crop top as the weather cools down. Crop tops were super trendy this summer, and her outfit is just the right example of how they can be worn as the seasons change. Her Brandy Melville crop top has a print that shows off her unique style. It is paired with the classic denim jean which ties the outfit together nicely.
A travelers go to staples are definitely accessories. It’s the one thing Fashionistas can easily overpack. Her Steve Madden sandals are not only a comfortable walking shoe, but an edgy statement. These sandals are another example of how we can bring summer favorites into our fall looks. This Fashionista has a unique style when it comes to accessories, she is wearing plenty of bracelets collected through the years showing off her personality.
Personally, I know the struggles of wanting to bring as much as possible when I go out in the city for the day. You never know what you will end up needing or when you will have the perfect photo opportunity. A larger bag is a must! This Fashionista is carrying her favorite Nine West travel bag. This bag is perfect for anything this traveler runs into.
