One of the very few benefits of summer coming to an end is the fall fashion. I usually find that we over compensate in the fall with all of our accessories. Sure its exciting being able to mix and match hats and scarves, but you shouldn’t wear all of your newly purchased pieces at the same time. I know it’s hard with all the amazing trends that have popped up this year, but pace yourself, and you’ll be looking cool every day of the week.

Hats and scarves are a fall go-to, but this season try a fresh take on the classic pieces by opting for crazy colours, shapes or patterns. Scull patterns have been popping up all over scarves as of late, this rough and tough piece looks amazing when paired with a tailored leather jacket. As for hats, go for beanies with fun colours, pom poms, or maybe even cat ears, the crazier the hat, the bigger the statement. Not into the beanie look? Try going for a glamorous head piece. Although it won’t keep you warm, this gorgeous head accessory will have heads turning everywhere you go. As for jewelry gold, gold, gold is all over the place. Chunky gold bracelets, necklaces and even earrings have been all the rage this season, for all the right reasons. Yellow gold goes with just about every outfit and shines bright through the dreary fall days.
