In an ideal world, fall weekends would be comprised solely of tailgates, brunch and the pursuit of pumpkin-flavored-anything. Unfortunately, we must face the harsh reality that weekends usually consist of studying, inhibiting us from spending all our free time pining over pumpkin spice lattes. Nonetheless, one can always spare some precious time in their weekend to get dressed up, no matter the occasion.
Thanks to my newly acquired caffeine addiction, my usual lazy Sunday afternoons have been given a newfound purpose as I search for the best caffeinated drinks. I now understand the hype of looking your best all for the sake of finding a place to sip coffee leisurely. As many brunch aficionados know, the most exciting part of this day is crafting the perfect outfit. Grabbing brunch with friends provides an opportune chance to showcase your personal style.
My look centers around my beloved floral bomber jacket (because yes, florals are still relevant in the fall). While still being such a comfortable piece, bomber jackets add chicness and versatility to any wardrobe. If you don’t already have one of these in your closet, I highly suggest you start searching now. Many stores currently carry different variations of this trendy piece, with my favorites being Zara, Topshop and Urban Outfitters. With a multitude of styles to choose from, opt for the one that best reflects your personality.
For accessories, let the brilliant colors of fall foliage inspire you as I did. I chose to wear my suede saddle-style bag in a trendy burnt orange color that mimics the turning leaves. To add contrast and a touch of femininity, I layered a sheer lace top under my bomber. My coveted Rag & Bone boyfriend jeans balance out my outfit by dressing down my lace-up black booties.
Whether your favorite fall activity lands you at the pumpkin patch, a trendy coffee shop or anywhere in between, put together a fall look that captures your personality. So, go ahead and break up the monotony of a long week of working and studying and show off your fall style!
