Fall is one of my favorite seasons to dress for. It’s not quite cold enough for heavy coats, but it’s chilly enough for boots and chunky sweaters! Here are some affordable fall essentials to spice up your fall wardrobe!

1. Over the Knee Boots:

Over the knee boots make cute skirts and dresses possible in chilly weather by accentuating your legs while keeping them warm! Purchase your own pair on Amazon for less than $50, which is pretty affordable for long boots. They are also super comfortable and don’t slide down your legs when you’re walking. 

2. Chunky Striped Sweaters:

Colorful sweaters with balloon sleeves go perfectly with a pair of ripped jeans and a pair of chunky black ankle boots. You will look effortlessly cute while staying cozy! You can get the perfect sweater for only $25 from Forever 21!

3.  Mom Jeans with Frayed Hems:

Mom jeans flatter every figure, and frayed hems add a little bit of edge to a classic look. Find these jeans on sale at Abercrombie and Fitch for $32. They are super soft and really comfortable. 

 

I am a senior at Harvard College studying Applied Mathematics with a specialization in Economics, and I am planning on getting a language citation in Spanish. I am currently a co-president and campus correspondent of Harvard's chapter of Her Campus! I am also a committee chair of a student organization that works with University Health Services called HealthPALs (Peer Advisors and Liaisons). Additionally, I am a member and co-director of service in OAASIS (Organization of Asian American Sisters in Service). Apart from that, I spend a lot of my time as a Learning Lab Undergraduate Fellow at the Harvard Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning. I am also the co-founder of a project at the Office of Diversity of Inclusion at Harvard. I am super passionate about math, health, and higher education! In my free time I love to work out, experiment with makeup and fashion, visit museums, and try new foods!
