Fall Fashion Trends

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Arizona chapter.

As September is quickly slipping away and October is coming upon us, I find

myself crossing my fingers that this dreadful heat will soon cool to a nice fall breeze.

However, I have to remind myself that my wishes are not so lucky and that the heatĀ 

continues to remain 365 days in Tucson, unless of course there is a casual monsoon.

There are so many exciting things to come during the fall season. Pumpkin

everything for one, along with the anticipation of Halloween and my favorite part,

trading in my shorts and tank tops for boots and scarves. Even though there is no

real fall season here in Tucson, a girl can pretend right? But who am I really

kidding, I am a Southern California girl and donā€™t know the actual meaning of the

changing of seasons.

Last year, I went on what seemed like a life long journey of finding my

perfect ā€˜fallā€™ boots. I finally reached my destination at the Tory Burch store shortly

after Christmas. Of course, only I would find my dream winter boots when the

season is pushing into springtime. Due to this unfortunate timing, I have still yet to

wear my boots, my fabulous Tory Burch boots. Maybe I will be able to incorporate

them into a possible Halloween costumeā€¦any ideas?

I have a new beat to my step that fall is within reach. The other day, I was

leaving class and instead of residing back comfortably at my house on Mountain, I

made an extra drive, totally out of the way, to go through the Starbucks drive

through on Broadway and get my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season! It was a

fall feeling at its best. Sipping on my latte as I ventured back home. I thought to

myself about the upcoming Kardashian finale, which reminded me that fall also

brings back my favorite scripted dramas. Gossip girl anyone? I am definitely guilty

as charged. Donā€™t get me wrong; I love a good reality TV meltdown as much as the

next girl but I canā€™t wait for a little sanity on television.

Tailgates are back in full swing and I love that my Saturdays are consistently

filled with the dominance of red, white and blue. Although sports arenā€™t a favorite

past time of mine, I can pretend for the tailgates right? There is really no spirit like

the Wildcat one.

I will continue to cross my fingers that this weather will soon take a turn for

the better. Weather where I can actually look decent after walking from my house

to my classes and not look as if I have just finished a marathon. Heat where I want

to do activities outside as opposed to drowning myself in my BTO, the coolest thing I

can get my hands on. Until the sun subsides, I will stare at my beautiful boots in my

closet for another year!
