Do you ever feel like that whole ‘no white after Labor Day’ translates into pastels too? Well it doesn’t have to! Although dressing dark and warm feels essential for fall inspiration, don’t put down those baby pinks and light yellows just yet. Combining and experimenting with spring and fall colors, textures, and silhouettes can create unexpected looks that you will love. 

For a standard fall fit right out of Gilmore Girls, take a light-colored tank top and pair it with fall essentials to create a key cozy outfit in your fall rotation. Here, Djerf Avenue's Daily Tank Top Ribbed in Baby Yellow is paired with a chunky brown Zara cardigan, low waisted Levi's, Ugg platform minis and a Coach tote to create this perfect outfit for a morning at the farmers market. Buying your apple cider is much more fun in style. 

Another option is turning your frilly spring skirts into perfect fall going-out attire. Here, the Edikted Abrielle Tiered Chiffon Mini Skirt is paired with a cream asymmetrical top , an oversized brown leather jacket, an iconic Steve Madden boot and a mini purse from Michael Kors. The perfect mix of fall flirtiness for a girls’ night out where an espresso martini will perfectly pull it together. 

Having trouble styling your spring athleisure? Pairing spring colors with new fall color combos can create a comfy yet chic look for class. Here, the baby blue SKIMS pants go perfect with one of their brown long sleeves  and topped off with platform mini UGGs and a brown Coach tote! Paired with a tortoise shell claw clip and your favorite fall drink, you’ll be the most put-together girl in class this fall semester.
