I am back with some more Ins and Outs for this upcoming season! Every new season is a new opportunity- what would you like your fall to look like this semester? Is there a new hobby you want to pick up? A new trend you want to hop on? Or a new book you want to read? While you are deciding your next step for this season, let’s chat about some of my ins and outs for fall this year.

Low-rise jeans 

In! I have been digging this style. I have grown out of my high-waisted phase and have been loving a mid- to low-rise style for my jeans.

Going to bed early 

In! Honestly, this is always an in for me. But with the shorter days and darker evenings, your body will be ready to go to bed earlier anyway (take this opportunity)!

Over-consumption: 

Out. This goes for all things in general. You don’t need every new Parke drop, you don’t need every sale item and you don’t need a whole new fall wardrobe (okay, definitely a few things, just maybe not your entire cart). This can go for caffeine (please watch your intake), screen time and more. Moderation is key!

Colors

In! I am all for a colorful fall- mix a pattern or two and see what you fancy. 

Intentionality

In! Duh. Call that friend and make those plans! As it gets colder, it can be hard to reach out and leave your home, but your mind and soul need a good laugh! 

Forcing productivity 

Out! Again, moderation is key. Find your groove. Productivity is not a constant state. It is not a liveable state. Take a rest day!

Being loud 

Omg, so in. I think my roommates and I are the loudest people alive. Loud girls have the most fun! Take up space!

Scarves 

Love! The ones with the pastel plaid or colorful tassels are the cutest things I ever did see. 

Joining Her Campus

IN! Need I explain more?

Hi! My name is Lexi Graham and I attend West Virginia University. I am studying marketing and am currently interning at the public library near me- hence my love for literature! I spend my time with my favorite people here on campus, and I love reading. I am constantly learning about the writing world through my night time reads. I am excited to open up my world to yours as I write along side these girls at Her Campus.
