THE NECK BIG THING



Turtleneck that is.

This fall, they'll be making a come-back. If not from your mom's 1993-1996 wardrobe, then at least from my Village des Valeurs raiding of all the ones she consigned.

They could be so cute! Take your fave onesie from the summer. Throw a t-neck underneath it with some opaque leggings, et voila! You have updated yet another piece synonymous with high-wasted jeans and scrunchies!

Plus, they are cheap cheap cheap like a chicken and in these trying times, with this economic situation, when money is tigh... (wait, it's called, being a student) inexpensive pieces are a welcomed addition to my wardrobe.

Take the turtleneck and run! (Or maybe in this case, crawl.)

JUMP!


I LOVE JUMPSUITS.

A jumpsuit is so easy. Throw a onesie on with a cute pair of sneakers and you're set for the day. Kick off the sneaks and slip into heels and you are chic chic chic evening-ready. Jumpsuits are really part of an effortless look that many people are embracing. I think the West Coast is espcially great for this look because it lends oneself to the casual cool many of us have come to love.

Options for onesies this fall: Mensies (Jumpers for the boiz), blazers with onesie, and tweed. Wouldn't you just love to wear a light, tweed onesie?
