Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn!

            As we all know, summer’s over and school is back in session! As much as we all dread the work, admit it we all love seeing new fall fashion. What’s just in, and what’s out. Obviously, every year fashion changes or rather repeats itself. With fashion week recently ending, there’s so many new different “looks” to go for. There’s So many different accessories, jackets, pants, etc. From color blocking, canvas bags, and cross-bodies there’s such a huge selection to choose from.

Creating The “Look”

As said before, fashion repeats itself. You may see many people wearing the vintage look. It all starts with the tops.  This season many shirts are in style; with chiffon shirts being the most popular. Blazers and denim jackets are also at a rise in the fashion world. The infamous 1990’s cropped shirts are also back in style. Now that the weather’s cooling down, flannels and crewnecks are beginning to show their faces in some outfits. But an outfit wouldn’t be an outfit without the top and the bottoms.
Who remembers high waist pants? You know, the ones from Martin, and Clueless. They’re back! High waist pants are back in style and very popular this fall. Also, harem pants, like the ones MC Hammer wore in the “Cant Touch This” video. Floral pants have also made their mark on fashion this year being that the floral design is very popular. Last but not least, cargo-style pants. You may know them as “Kim Possible” pants. What pants are you wearing?
Accessorize The “Look”
Accessories are like the cherry on top of the ice cream, the outfit. They’re what make your outfit different that someone else’s outfit. You could be wearing the same shirt and pants, but how you decorate or accessorize it is what makes it stand out
Cross bodies
Purses were always necessities with females, but they’re also an extension to your “fit”. However, in 2012 the vintage 1980’s cross body purses are back in style.
Belts
Before, who cared about a belt? A belt was just a belt. But now, there’s a wide variety of them: skinny, woven, floral, animal print, etc.
Hair
Since when did hair accessories become so important? In 2012, that’s when. From hair bows, to woven headbands, there’s no way your hair should look boring.
