Rakia's Style Nation: Falling Over Fall Fashion!
Rakia's Style Nation:
Falling Over Fall Fashion!
In Philadelphia, fall is marked by the changing color of the leaves, the influx of college students filling up the hip coffee shops, and the fashionistas moving from the bare leg to the ever-loving combination of tights and boots.
I'm always so excited to see what new trends will be walking down our sidewalks. This season I plan on buying staple must haves that can be worn a ton of different ways.
The Leather Jacket
It's a trends that keeps coming back better and better. This season pair your leather jacket with a flirty dress or jeans for your after work sip with friends. Go to to Franklin Square Boutique to find this must have staple for your closet.
Denim
I can't get enough of that skinny jean, which keeps getting skinnier and skinnier. Check out Franklin Square Boutique's skinny pant, which feels like a yoga pant instead of the classic denim feel.
Chunky Scarves
They can dress up any outfit and keep you cozy while walking from Rittenhouse Square to Old City. Find some cute chunky scarves at Knit Wit in Rittenhouse Square.
Cable Knit Sweaters
This season's hot item can be used to cover up everything you didn't lose this summer or to transform your look when paired with the right belt. To get Jakai's look, stop in Franklin Square Boutique in Old City and ask for Liz.
You can also head over to Knit Wit to satisfy all over your knit wear needs.
Flip through the photo slideshow to see all of my favorite fall trends!
