Flannels in the Fall

There is nothing better than wearing flannel in the fall season. It seems as if it is completely acceptable to wear flannels for any occasion during this time of the year, and I am not going to object.

There is something about the crisp air and leaves on the ground that makes me reach for one of my flannels on a weekly basis. I love having a flannel shirt as one of the layers to my outfits during this time of year. I really wear a lot of plain clothing that the colors and patterns in flannels really give my outfit that pop it is missing.

In the photo below, I am wearing a flannel shirt in the most traditional way possible, but these shirts can be worn in so many other ways. The number of unique outfits that you can create by having just one or two flannels in your closet is unreal.

• Red/Blue Checkered Patterned Long Sleeve Flannel
• Semi-destroyed Blue Jeans
• Brown Combat Boots With Fur Trim
• Rose Gold Jewelry

Never be afraid to experiment with clothes, especially articles of clothes that can be used as an additional layer. The worst that could happen is that one of your friends say it doesn't look okay and you take off that layer, problem solved. Let fun pieces, like flannels, help you express who you are.

There are multiple ways to wear flannels. Check out these 20 style tips that gurl.com shared about flannel shirts! It'll definitely be something you're going to want to bookmark or save!!

Fun With Leggings

I am not afraid to make a statement with my outfits. Every outfit that I wear represents who I am in someway. This week is me showing that I am a truly child at heart at the age of twenty-two.

I am a huge Disney fanatic. I can proudly say that I have all the classic Disney movies  that are still working as video cassettes. I love having fun with my clothes. Plus I own so many clothes that have Disney characters that it might be considered embarrassing for someone my age, but I don't care. I loved my childhood that was filled with some of the best movies and there is nothing wrong with that.

Out of many of the Disney clothing articles that I own, my Lion King leggings are one of my favorites. The pattern of the sky, stars and how Simba wraps around both legs is unique and creative.

In the photo I am wearing:

Excuse my excited self, I was having a little too much fun taking pictures of this outfit.

 I guess you could say this is my inner child acting out.

• Black Long Sleeve Shirt
• The Lion King Leggings
• Black-Spiked Combat Boots
• Silver Jewelry

 When wearing an article of clothing that is really bright and bold, it is important to let that article of clothing speak for itself. Do not dull its sparkle with more color. For this outfit I chose to wear a black shirt and shoes so that the leggings would stand out. 

I personally feel that people are afraid to step out of their comfort zone and wear patterned leggings. All I can say is that by owning patterned leggings they can increase your wardrobe and allow you to represent another side of yourself in a unique way.

A Hat Is Not Just A Hat...

I know I am not the only girl that gets up in the morning and thinks, "what am I going to do with this hair today?"

I do not like spending a lot of time getting ready at anytime of the day, let alone in the morning. I will take all the extra time I can to sleep, however it is still important to care about your appearance because you never know who you are join go run into.

I enjoy wearing hats because it allows me to express another side of me that many do not get to see. I love the outdoors. Any free time I get I am usually outside fishing or hiking just to get a break from all of the craziness going on in my life.

When I am tired and not in the mood to do my hair, hats are my go-to quick fix. I wear hats to class, shopping, and going out with friends too. As long as the hat you chose compliments your outfit, you will be good to go!

In this photo I am wearing:

• Brown Long-Sleeve Shirt
• Black Vest with Blue Undertone
• Black Leggings
• Brown and White Hiking Socks
• Black Boots
• Tan Penn State Fly Fishing Baseball Hat

I personally love rocking a hat with my hair down or with a pony tail. If you're interested in seeing more ways to wear hats you can check out this link that can give great examples of how to style your hair with a hat in 9 different ways!

A hat is not just a hat. A hat is the expression of a woman's soul.
