A Little Bit of Fall Fashion

For those who maybe aren't real trendy.

A Little Bit of Fall Fashion
wait0000

Fall is hurtling towards us at a blistering pace.

And I don't know about anyone else, but I'm super ready for it.

I went to the mall hoping to find some great knit, fall sweaters, but instead I was confronted with an array of unfamiliar fashion. For those of us who struggle to keep up with the trends, I've gone ahead and distilled this fall's looks into a few basics.

For starters, there's the denim on denim craze.

Reminiscent of the '90s (or perhaps directly descended from?), the denim on denim look can be difficult to pull off. While the celebrities might be rocking outfits in the same shade, I'd recommend having layers with different washes. It gives a more laid-back feel.

Next, we've got scarves.

Don't worry. Infinity scarves are still in. You don't have to get rid of your hoard quite yet. However, the newer scarf look favors big, plaid scarves with ragged edges. Tie them loose to achieve maximum scarf-ness.

And here we have glasses! (Oh and look! Denim!)

If your first thought was, "Harry Potter much?" you're not alone. Round glasses, clear frames, and wire frames are very popular this fall -but that doesn't mean they're for everyone. Not all glasses frames are flattering to every face shape. Round frames suit square and oval faces best, but if you're really in love, try a pair on and see what you think, regardless of your face shape.

Last year you might have started seeing the over-the-knee boot.

Well, this year you will continue to see the over-the-knee-boot. The look caught on, so a lot more stores are carrying them this fall. Most come in suede, but you can also find them in leather/pleather if you're so inclined. They can be worn over boots, thigh-high socks, tights or just by themselves.

They're particularly popular worn in tandem with sweater or shirt dresses.

Most shirt dresses right now are plaid flannel or denim, but you can find some in florals and solids too. You can wear them with or without leggings, so they're a super-easy basic to have in your wardrobe.

Let's also take a moment to notice this girl's hat and necklace. Those hats are in for whatever reason. I'm not a huge fan, but you can find them almost anywhere right now. Be warned. Most people don't look good in hats, but if you're one of the rare few, go ahead and wear one!

Her necklace is playing off the long-layered look as well as chokers. Like denim, chokers are a resurrected trend from the '90s. They're a fun statement, but when you need to be a little dressier, the wrap around necklace is a nice replacement. As shown above, it gives you the look of a choker and the length of a necklace. It also has the potential to strangle you if you get it snagged on anything, so proceed with caution.

Have fun trying out these new trends!

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
