“I wanted to create outfits that used popular trends from this summer and re-work them into looks appropriate for fall. There’s nothing wrong with packing away your summer clothes for a year, but for a student on a budget (like me), being able to wear your favorite pieces all year long really pays off.”

"Neons were everywhere this summer, so I’m sure everyone has a few really bright pieces. Pairing neons with black (or another neutral color) is an easy way to transition your favorite summer trend to blend in with darker fall essentials. I chose these electric blue jeans as an easy basic, and topped the look off with a cozy infinity scarf."

"I love florals, dots, and mixed patterns, but the look can feel a bit summery. I think that by layering prints on top, it creates a warmer look while still keeping the fun feeling. The ruffles on the top really add extra femininity and the jeggings are the comfiest pants I’ve ever worn!"

"Tribal-inspired and geometric prints were another fun summer trend that can easily be transitioned into fall. I loved the brown and black mix on this dress and played off the tribal look with black fringed moccasin boots. The faux-leather jacket added another interesting texture to the mix, and layered necklaces topped it off."
