Everyday Casual Fall Outfit Inspiration

Hello my friends,

It's been a hot minute since I did an outfit-centric post. With Fall in full swing, I think it's pretty much obligatory to do one now. I feel like most of us are in the process of building our fall/winter wardrobe at this time of year and a little bit of inspiration can always be appreciated.

When it comes to the colder months, it is that easy to get lazy and opt for jeans and a jumper everyday. I get it. But with a little help you will find that once you put some effort in, the results can go a long way. We've all felt that little bit of satisfaction when we come home after a long, exhausting yet fulfilling day and look at ourselves in the mirror and think: hey, I looked good today. It definitely gives you a fuzzy feeling of confidence and self-love.

Whenever I do these types of posts, I try to keep the outfits realistic for a woman who's in college or work. I also make the effort to address all ages, however I don't suggest that there's only one specific way to dress for each age. I'm simply trying to give options. Take from them whatever works for you.

I think a button-up shirtdress is very versatile item to have since it can be taken from office to bar in a pinch. This particular military button-up style is very on-trend at the moment and flattering on all silhouettes. The over-the-knee boots give the otherwise conservative look some edge while keeping the legs warm, but if this kind of thing isn't appropriate for your workplace or school, short booties are just as fine.

Power Dressing: What You Need To Know

Hello readers,

Since our routine has finally settled in and we're already engrossed in school, college and/or work, I found this as a perfect opportunity to introduce you to this thing called power dressing. 

Fall and Winter are the time to get all business-like and put on your best front to impress and make things happen for you, whether that has to do with your scholar, academic or professional career. 

So..

have you ever felt inspired by these capable and apt women, like Coco Chanel or Margaret Thatcher who had the guts to break the rules and make history? What makes these women iconic, is not only their work but also their impact as personalities, the effect they had on people and that, a lot of times, has to do with image as well. Imposing yourself on others is a matter of attitude -and skill of course-and style can be a significant part of that I'm-going-to-take-over-the-world attitude.

I know a place where the grass is really greener..

No, I'm not talking about California and west coast (I borrowed the title from Katy Perry's new song "California gurls" - I'm in love with it!), I'm talking about my school, one of the most beautiful schools in Athens. Yesterday was the last day of school technically, since it's the start of the exam period (ughh..). These are some shots I took with my friends! It's was really fan sitting on the lawn and laughing...
