As we all know, Oklahoma weather is unpredictable. My problem is I wake up for my early classes and it is cold. By the time I am out of class, it is noon and I am sweating walking home because it is so hot outside. How is it possible to keep your diva girl swag while you are struttin’ your stuff on campus? Here are a few tips and tricks to keep your look sassy and fun for the fall.

·         Wear sassy boots:  Boots are such a fun fall fashion statement. They come in all different colors and styles; its up to you to find what style fits you best. Bakersshoes.com has so many options that it would be a miracle to not find a pair you “fall” in love with. And remember those UGGS are for winter.

·         Wear a fall scarf with a light jacket:  A scarf is an easy accessory that can give any outfit a sassy boost, but that can be easily taken off when it gets a little warmer mid-day. Cheetah print is becoming a neutral and can be worn with black or brown, so if you are a thrifty diva, think cheetah!

·         Carry a fun “statement” bag, not a backpack:  Even if backpacks are better for your back, if your classes don’t require you to bring your books along then carry a tote bag. My favorites come from tossdesigns.com. My tote has held up for three academic school years and I still get compliments on it!

·         Nail color, nail color, nail color:  OPI carries so many awesome shades of nail polish. Nudes are very popular right now, but if you want to go for a bolder statement look for a pretty plum shade. It is girly, yet edgy and perfect to compliment those warm fall colors.

·         Always carry that lip gloss: When you have color on your lips, you look more alive. The one give-away that a girl has been on the go is she has no color in her lips. Use a color that compliments you that has color! Not just clear. MAC cosmetics has absolutely wonderful lip glosses, lip sticks and lip liners. Utilize their awesome website at maccosmetics.com

·         Don’t forget your shades: Sunglasses are my favorite accessory of all time. Sunglasses can make the biggest statement in the smallest way. So throw on those shades girl, and work that campus!

Go on and enjoy the beautiful, ever-changing weather you sassy divas! Happy Fall!
