After being a full-time athlete for so many years, I am relieved to be able to attend class with dry hair and not smell like cholorine. I can actually take the time to look decent for class which I think is always a good thing. I don't see a point in wasting a closet full of great clothes to only wear on the weekend! I've also talked to my professors in the Textile and Apparel Management (fancy name for Fashion Merchandising) department and some have told me they can not stand it when they see girls wearing gym shorts and a t-shirt to class. Now, I'm not trying to say that we should all be wearing skirts, cardigans and Mary-Jane's to class. I just believe that it looks so much better and more professional when people take the time to get ready and not show up with half-curled hair from the previous night and smeared mascara or an oversized sweatshirt with leggings and Uggs (spare us all, please).
Also with the weather finally cooling down, I can pack away my shorts and pull out my jeans, boots, sweaters and scarves! I loved the warm weather year-round while I was attending Florida State but when I moved back to the Mid-West it made me remember how much I love dressing for cooler weather. You have so many more options with outfits. Layering, beautiful colors (burgundy, jade, taupe), tights, turtlenecks, and the list goes on!
I chose my outfit today based on the fact that this morning I looked out my window and was disappointed to see gloomy weather so I decided to brighten my day up with my attire. Enjoy!
I found these eye-popping red pants at Gap and knew I had to have them for Fall. I can't wait to pair them with some boots and a chunky sweater! The pants are so soft and comfortable! Find them on the Gap website here.
I found this blouse at Ann Taylor Loft and loved it. It's simple and chic. At first glance it looks like little black polka dots, but they're actually tiny stars! The tuxedo style with the ruffles adds just the right amount of feminine touch. The blouse comes in Navy, Red, and White, order it here.
These black flats are perfect for walking to class. They're easy and comfortable. I've recently become obsessed with Yosi Samra Flats which have a durable rubber sole and can fold up and be thrown into a tote or backpack if needed! You can find them at Swank Boutique or on the Yosi Samra website.
I think a black or khaki trench coat can add such a classy, polished look to any fall outfit! I wear mine all the time! I love the coats at Banana Republic. Check them out here.

I hope everyone had a great end to their summers and are enjoying the transition into fall! Football games, bonfires, apple picking, haunted houses...the list is endless of fun fall activities! I would love to hear ideas from you for things to do!
Also, I'd love to see or hear about your daily outfits!

Have a wonderful week, maybe you can enjoy your first caramel apple of the season!
Keep Calm and Monogram On
