Here Comes Fall!

So guess what? Fall weather has arrived here in Virginia! For most people that means scarves, sweaters, boots, and jeans. But when the cold weather first peeked around the corner I was rather worried. Fall is that weird time when you can't wear shorts and t-shirts anymore, but long sleeves are often to hot by midday. Places like magazines and Pinterest make it seem so easy, but its not.
 So what's a girl to do?
   Fantastic Fall Outfit For High Fashion Women
See? Doesn't this look nice? But if you are like me you 
will be melting by noon.

Love this sweater! The whole outfit. Lots of other pretty patterns too. | Antrorse pattern from "Journey" by Jane Richmond & Shannon Cook
A lot of people will try this look for the fall. Its cute but
 it has one problem. I hate to break it to you 
 but leggings and tights aren't pants. Please don't do this!

"Fall my way" by ktbookworm96 on Polyvore
Since I failed to take pictures of my outfits, I created two outfits on a website called Polyvore. Here is my basic idea. Sheer tops allow you to wear long sleeves without boiling your skin. Thin sweaters or "holey" sweaters allow a bit of cool fall air flow. I myself have never been a sweater wearer but I rather enjoy sweaters like this. Leggings can be worn in the fall but under a skirt, as pictured, or long shirt/dress looks best. I didn't put in any scarves only because I don't really prefer to wear them. If you like scarves go for it! They are often the choice fall accessory.   

That's about all I have got for now. I will hopefully post some more pictures soon!
