Embrace the Season

As the fall season quickly approaches, we begin to pack away the tank tops that summer once encouraged and prepare for the approaching nip in the air. So while the cool temperatures force us to bundle up, how can we continue to glow like the summer sun?

It’s all about adaptation. Call upon the colors of your surroundings to inspire your look. Stand out by blending in to the scenery. You’ll be surprised at how liberating it is to wear what nature has already provided. Let your cheeks be blushed and your hair be tousled by the chilly winds of autumn.

So, for example, base your look off of Starbucks’ seasonal Pumpkin Spice Latte to warm up your wardrobe and make you feel cozy and radiant from the inside out. Be inspired to rock a burnt- orange lip color paired with a brown fringed bag to match your zesty drink.

The key to balancing your look with that of the season's is focusing on one feature at a time. If you feel inspired by the changing colors of the autumn leaves, try the ombre hairstyle which emphasizes a shift from a light to dark color as hair gets farther from the roots. Or maybe add one of fall’s striking orange, red or yellow shades to a piece of your wardrobe, like a bold chunky necklace.

 

So, this fall, don’t stress about what to wear or how to do your makeup; let your surroundings be your inspiration. Chances are you won’t have to look farther than outside your window.
