Your Fall Going Out Checklist

September 1, 2015

 

Fall is here and whether you’re displeased with the departure of summer or thrilled at the arrival of Pumpkin flavoring, we’re going to have to deal with the weather change. Fortunately we’re not freezing quite yet, and we can still afford to show off a little skin. Sadly we must say our farewell to the white rompers we wore on a bi-weekend basis, but it isn’t too bad when you think of the amazing fall fashion out right now. This is what you need. 

1.) a hot body suit.

Perfect for the girl who can't quite get away with the criss-cross down the front #busty.

2.) night-approved flares

The fact that these jeans exist is proof that dreams do come true. The "Maria" is my favorite style of skinny, so you can get your bottom dollar I'll be investing in these.

Typically I am one to say jeans should be an investment, not a bargain, but if you aren't positive about the flare trend... at least we have F21.
