Spring into Fall

I love using summer and spring pieces and transforming them by adding tights, boots, a hat, and a leather jacket and creating the perfect fall look!

Subdued Sensations & Studs

 {Cardigan-Charlotte Russe, Shirt-Old Navy, Necklace-F21, Thrifted Belt and Skirt, Boots-GoJane}

Color-Blocking in the Fall is so fun! If you are scared of the color-blocking trend color-blocking in the Fall is way less intimidating! The colors are less "offense" because they are more subdued. Would you try color-blocking in the Fall? I am sure I will be doing it all through fall and winter.

Fall Revisited

I am so excited about the FALL!! The colors, the layering, the crispness!!! Absolutely love! Here is one of my favorite outfits to sport during the fall! I am sure that I will be wearing this time and time again! Also, I am trying different things with my hair! I am currently "transitioning" when an one goes from having permed hair to natural hair! So I am practicing protective, heatless styles! What do you think? I love the vintage-ness of the bouffant look!

On an aesthetic note, I apologize for my beautiful recycle bin in the background it's just the natural beauty that comes  with dorm life and I just wanted to share it with ya'll :)

{Maroon Shirt (Gifted), Necklace (c/o of inPink Jewelry), Thrifted Pleated Skirt and Belt, Urban Outfitters Scarf, Brown Oxfords}
