People look surprised when I say I can’t wait for summer to end and fall to begin. Aside from the fact that my favorite national holiday, my birthday, falls right in the middle of the season, how cozy it is indoors, and how beautiful it is to frolic outside as the leaves change color, I’m looking forward to fall because it means I can wear my best fall dresses. Just imagining all the different ways I can pair them with boots is enough to make me giddy.
It’s no exaggeration to say that fall is the best season for fashion. From clothes to bags to jewelry, this season’s trends prove time and time again that it’s the best season to have fun with fashion. There are so many styles to look forward to, from light textures to heavy textures, layered or not. Plus, there are so many cute and affordable(!) items to upgrade your style. And you can get more creative with your work outfits. See for yourself!
