What’s the best part of Fall? Scarves, leggings, and boots of course!
In my opinion, scarves are the best accessory a girl can own! There are just so many different styles, colors, and prints that work well with almost any outfit. They spice up a plain v-neck tee and work perfectly with cardigans. With all the different outfit combos wearing scarves is hard to resist! If you’re a broke college gal like I am, some of the best places I love to buy scarves on a budget are Forever21, Charlotte Russe, and H&M. There are tons of creative ways to wear scarves, but my personal favs are the infinity, waterfall, and men’s tie look. Check out wendyslookbook video on youtube for more fashionable ways to wear scarves!
Other than scarves, another must have for Fall are leggings. I have to admit, every now and then I have my lazy days where I don’t straighten my hair and rock a messy bun or don’t feel like wearing skinny jeans. The best alternative is to wear leggings! They are super comfy and come in tons of colors. They also work well with long cardigans, high-low tops, or button downs.
We can’t forget about the shoes! No outfit is complete from head to toe without the right shoes. Every girl definitely needs to own a pair of knee-high boots. They work well with almost any outfit whether they are black, dark brown, tan, or a reddish color. I’m 5’4’’ and if you’re short like me, knee high boots are a great way to make you taller! Some of my other favs this Fall that are both cute and comfy are booties and floral oxfords.
Despite Chicago’s crazy temps, Fall is definitely my favorite season fashion wise. It’s great hoodie or big cardigan weather and it has the most vibrant colors. So my advice for this season is to mix and match pieces that you wouldn’t normally put together. You’ll be surprised on what actually works and looks cute!
