Deep Fall Blues

Tis the season of spooks and pumpkin spice. It is the special time of year for long sleeve dresses and matching the aesthetic of dying leaves. Fall gives us the opportunity to get creative with the clothes summer has forsaken. I have long awaited the perfect weather for me to wear this navy, Fashion Nova dress. The scalloped trimmings on the sleeves and end of the dress add a level of cuteness and creative detail. Along with the red and white detail on the v neck lining elevates this dress from the average. It can be worn off the shoulder or perfectly hugging the edges of your shoulders. I paired the dress with white platform FILAs, as they go well with literally everything, and white rolled tube socks. Nothing says fall like a short dress or skirt and exposed crew socks. The bag is a Brandon Blackwood Kamal Bucket Bag in brown, which has a short handle or an extractable, extended strap for when your hands are lazy. I accompanied this look with lashes, a brown smokey cat eye, and a bold, glossy, red lip. I thought that less would be more to compliment this look. With the addition of a bright red scrunchie, this look is instantly an American classic.

As the season progresses, some of us meet a special kind of seasonal depression. If you’re in need of someone to talk to, remember that it’s always okay to seek professional help. It’s normal and happens to the best of us. Some ways to help combat these feelings are going outside and spending time in the sun, taking vitamin D pills, doing things to make you happy and feel good, or my personal remedy, getting lost in a Mariah Carey song. On the bright side, you can stroll the streets or bless your therapist in a beautiful, fall outfit. If no one has told you today, I love you.
