Back to realistic fashion.

With classes starting soon and fall weather soon to come it's time to get back into more covering
clothes. I like other people wear barely anything during the summer. It's so hot down here who wants to wear clothes anyway?! For just going out my summer fashion isn't very interesting. Really short shorts, Tee shirts, sandals maybe some kind of jewelry (nothing metal) and a summery scent. That's all. I'm a totally different person when it comes to fall and winter. I love these seasons and I spend all year looking and buying stuff just for these few short months. Summer is so simple so the fall gives me a chance to put my brain to work. (I work more on my outfit than I do school work) You can't achieve your goals unless you look good. Fall is all about layering and color coordinating. Layering especially if it gets as cold as it does here. Usually for the winter it's bright colored socks, jeans, boots, belt to match boots, dark button down, tie and a really warm coat; that takes a lot of brain power.
In case you haven't read any of my other stuff I'm going to add this. I have a strong hate for the classic Burberry check. It's not that I don't like it's the fact that people go and buy the classic check just so other people will know that it cost money... I hate that. It's called a 'label whore'. I also happen to love Burberry so I  stay away from the classic checks. So if you aren't obsessed with people knowing how much money you spent on something go for a less noticeable Burberry design.
J.Crew trench
Fall equals trench coat season. Trench coats are the one thing everyone must have! It doesn't matter how short, tall, big or small as long as it fits, you will look amazing, you should have no problem with it!
Burberry is the king of trench coats! Christopher Bailey is great at his job! I realize everyone can't run out and buy a 900 to 5,000 dollar coat! So I did some digging and found a trench that wasn't Burberry! To be honest I am having serious thoughts of buying this one myself! The coat I found was very simple (like all trench coats) made by J.Crew! J.Crew is great for just about anything. You can find just about anything to wear for any occasion in J.Crew! I chose this coat because it isn't double breasted. (double breasted is only good for pea coats). It also has that classic tan color that most people look for in a trench coat! I couldn't find the jeans he has on but they look amazing; I'm probably going to ask someone about them the next time in J.Crew! Bottom line J.Crew is a great choice for anyone who can't throw it down at Burberry. I am not saying that you can only look good buying the expensive brands. I'm actually saying the opposite. You never have to spend a lot to look good. Who ever says you have to shell out to look good is ridiculous; they have ego problems.
