Hopefully by now you have packed away all of your floral sundresses and summer sandals and replaced their spot in your closet with your favorite sweater and beloved riding boots. Even though it’s not that chilly yet, you’ve already brought out your big, cozy scarf and matching gloves because you’re just that excited for the approaching colder weather.
If you haven’t already gone apple picking, you are probably going this weekend. You can’t deny the fact that you’ve already eaten and drank your weight in pumpkin-flavored treats. You have, without a doubt, already filled your dorm or apartment with the mini pumpkins you bought at SoWa Market. And you would be lying if you said you haven’t Instagrammed a pic of the orange leaves in the Common or Garden.
Yes, collegiettes, fall in New England is in full swing, and it. is. glorious.
Even with all of the fun activities, one of the best things about fall is the fashion that comes with it. With the changing of the seasons you get to revisit some of your favorite styles that you haven’t been able to wear since March or April (when Boston was just starting to thaw out of winter). Plus, the arrival of this new season is good excuse to revamp your closet!
The trends we are seeing this fall include military green jackets, chic heeled booties, leopard print accessories, and velvet smoking flats. Don’t know how to wear any of these new Fall trends? Well, finding inspiration from your favorite celebrity is an easy way to find boost your fashion creativity.
