A Little Bit of Fall Fashion

For those who maybe aren't real trendy.

A Little Bit of Fall Fashion

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!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
