Outfit Two – Transition to Autumn
Name: Ellen
Now that August is here, I am trying to make the most of the end of the summer, and I also I find myself thinking about how I am going to transition my wardrobe into fall once September hits. I want to keep wearing the new floral skirt that I just bought on sale,yves saint lanrent!
Where do you draw fashion inspiration from? “My inspiration comes from many places,Fox Racing Hats, from models in fashion magazines to unknown people on the streets. I am inspired by anything that can make me think ‘Yes, this is it!’ (and one of the places is definitely College Fashion).”

The Interview
What three clothing items or accessories can you not live without? “As a five foot tall girl,christian louboutin sandals, I have to say I can’t live without my high heels. Skirts would be the second must-have item – I need them for my feminine style (although it’s true that we can be feminine without wearing skirts). The last one would be any clothing or accessories featuring bows – they’re my signature!”

What is your favorite summer trend? How are you rocking this look this season? “I love floral prints right now because they add a touch of feminine to my style. I usually rock them with simple pieces like a plain t-shirt or a boyfriend blazer.”
Fortunately, Ellen’s look is easy to translate into fall, with the addition of a few key items. First, add a black blazer with bold white buttons to keep you warm in the morning,cheap Transformers Hats, as well as a bright red scarf. Knee socks are a hot fall trend,Mulberry Men's Messager Bags Sale, and they will look great with a pair of oxford heels. However, if you have a long day ahead or are just not comfortable in heels, opt for flats instead. This outfit will utilize your fun summer skirt and bright bag in a new way that is perfect for the fall season!
Next up, accessorize with multiple bright hues by adding the bright marigold bag – it really pops when paired with the scarlet shoes. Add a black skinny belt and a vintage pocket watch necklace- both with golden accents that reflect the metallic striped shirt, to tie the whole outfit together with ease.
Fashion advice? “Be yourself. Wear what you love,Chras Bromn Hats, not what’s on trend. On the other hand,Cheap Florida Marlins Hats, don’t assume you can’t rock a specific trend if you haven’t tried it yet.”
