Fashion: It’s Sweater Time!

It’s here everybody, the time of the year a majority of us look forward to.  Fall season is here, and, of course, that means sweaters!  Everyone loves a good cozy sweater, whether it’s big and baggy for those cozy indoor nights or a little different, like a crop-top sweater for those nights out with your friends.  Either way you’ve got to rock it your way. 

This past weekend was the Columbus Day weekend, so all the stores had really good sales going on.  Forever was having their “Buy One Get One” free sale, along with H&M having all clearance items for 60 percent off.  

Victoria’s Secret had 40 percent off select warm up wear, and of course we can’t forget The Gap having 40 percent off an entire purchase. 

But there was one store having an even more amazing sale than all the rest, a store that I would never have walked into before: Aeropostale.  Yes, I said it.  I bet no one has walked into that store since we were all 8th graders and freshmen in high school, but, believe it or not, it’s not the same as it used to be when we were all younger. 

Their sale was overall amazing.  All sweaters were 60 percent off, with outerwear for up to 70 percent off.  Graphic t-shirts were all $10.  Talk about a weekend blowout sale. 

With the weather changing now, this sale at the Mall was great because I can’t think of a better way to get those great fall looks at a discount price.  

This Fall it’s all about the baggy sweater pairing it with a leather jacket and those cute combat boots.  

Another stylish trend is knee high socks.  It sounds weird, but when you pair them with shorts or a high-wasted skirt, plain shirt and your favorite cardigan, jacket, or vest, they really bring this look from being basic to making it you.

You should always make the trends your own and put your personal style into it.  Never forget that trends come and go, but your style will never be seasonal.
