My Top 10 necessities for the fall

Hey..long time no write. I've been real busy- working crazy hours, trying to get back into doing charcoal drawings and sewing new threads, handling school stuff, and drinking mimosas. I must say I am super excited for the fall. Maybe a little more than usual. New Orleans never really get a fall season. It goes from 99 degrees one day and the next day it drops 30 degrees. This past week its been feeling real fall like and less humid. I think we may actually have a fall this time around!

I wanted to do a list of my Top 10 necessities for the fall. These are the things I have, I must get, or will continue buying more of throughout the season. Lately, I've been really into the 70s, ever since I put down my flat iron in April and have been wearing a curly afro since. I've always loved the 70s but I never really acted out on it. I've always admired everyone outfits in Dazed and Confused and secretly wished I could be apart of that movie. I always preferred 80s inspired clothes and colors compared to the 70s since I was about 13. The 70s are rapidly taking over my wardrobe this season!

I've also become deeply interested in 1940s Glam Hollywood. I want plum lipstick, finger waved hair, slinky low cut dresses, and dark nail polish.

Here are my top 10-old favorites and new favorites, in no particular order.

1. Hair Accessories(oversized and subtle). This includes huge bows, barrettes, flapper inspired headbands and clips, bandannas or colorful scarfs tied like a classic housemaid.
2. Fringe( I personally will sew myself a fringed long brown buttonless vest soon)
3. Ruffles( the more layers the better) Let's over-exaggerate it!
4.Zippers( I love zippers in unexpected places for example exposed zippers, zipper pockets, belts and shoes with zippers)
5.High Waist Super Wide Leg Jeans(dark or light wash- I need two pairs and I have yet to find my perfect pair)
6.Oversized scarves or multiple scarves
7.Open toe boots/platform ankle boots/ Gem- colored platform heels
8.Opaque and sheer tights in deeply saturated colors( black,grey, dark greens and purples)
9.PLAID, PLAID AND more PLAID!- Yes -Buffalo,gingham, unstructured,multicolored, monochromatic.
10.One-sies(floral, solid, long, ruffled, pastel colors,plaid)
11. Mini Dresse( ok sorry one more.) I can never live without these. I love them especially 90s styled! I'll throw some tights,boots and a jacket in for the fall.
