Falling into Autum

September 23, is more than just the date, it marks the beginning of pumpkin spice lattes, sweaters and cool temperatures. It's the first day of Fall and in High Point, N.C. it's the chilliest morning we have had since the beginning of the school year. 
I know, we are all sad because bikini weather is behind us but lets get excited for sweater weather! There are so many trends this Fall that I am super excited about, starting with suede.

High- end designers such as Moschino and Chloe have been a huge influence in society when it comes to incorporating suede back into our lives. This season it's all about being retro. Suede jackets are retro but they also have a cowboy feel to it (especially if it has fringe on it!)  
Paula Pointers: Want a suede jacket but are a broke college student? Thrift stores are the perfect place to find retro suede jackets for a really low price!

The next fall trend I am obsessed with is corduroy skirts. I have always been an enemy of corduroy pants. I think that they are very heavy and unflattering but who knew skirts would be a whole different world!! They bring a flavor of fall while not completely detaching from the summer. Again, this trend is very 70s, continuing to show us that retro is very new school this season.
Paula Pointers: Always check your mom's closet before going out to buy any of these retro trends. Who knows, she may have something saved from back in the day!

The last fall trend I am going to talk about is over-sized, men inspired blazers (or boyfriend blazers). I cannot wait for it to be in the low 60s so I can wear my oversized blazer. Its very classy yet edgy since its not fitted, and it will look great with almost anything! So when you're too lazy to get dressed for your 8 am class, just throw on some yoga pants, a t-shirt and your over-sized blazer and you will be the most stylish girl in your class without a doubt.
