Hey everyone!

Today i'm going to point out a couple cute items for this fall, and some common lies that are spread.

First, the must-haves:  

1. Scarves!
   scarves are a great way to spice up an old outfit. Grab those jeans, that ugly old t-shirt, and a funky scarf, and it'll look better than ever.
2.  Big Bags
   Purses are a great accessory as well. And now it's "bigger is better" all over again with bags! Find a funky colourful purse. It can change your entire wardrobe!
3. Jeans
   Ok, this sounds basic. but there are lots of different kinds of jeans. Skinny jeans, flare, bootcut, etc. I'd say get whatever looks best on you. when you're buying your jeans keep these considerations in mind:
   (a) Quality= how ripped up or thin they are. Get thicker jeans. If you want to get ripped jeans, watch where the rips are. No rips on the behind area.
   (b) Tightness= if jeans are tight, they're going to make your thighs look big. it's a fact. but then again, if they're too loose they'll do the same thing. Make sure your jeans fit snugly--but not tightly--around your legs.
   (c) Rise= if it just barely goes over those panties (unless they're granny panties) it's too low. When you bend over if you can see your underwear, it's too low. Anything that is more than an inch and a half below your bellybutton is too low.
   Remember, even if you have to buy  a size up in jeans, it'll look better than a size too small!
4. SHOES SHOES SHOES!
   I have a challenge for you: buy more solid shirts, or not so big prints, and funky shoes! buy polka dot or striped flats, or plaid converse (on sale of course, since they're insanely expensive) and go wild! You can often find awesome shoes at Winners at the end of most seasons, or at any liquidation store. Go check it out! shoes are awesome. Look for sales. that's how I treat my self. I save up like 30 dollars and go buy 1 or 2 pairs of awesome shoes.

Now the lies:

Before I start, disclaimer: I AM NOT TRYING TO OFFEND ANYONE AT ALL. THIS IS SIMPLY MY BELIEFS ON THIS SUBJECT, AND IF YOU THINK I'M WRONG, I'M SORRY.

Ok. now let's go:

1. Leggings are not the way to go.
   If it's too immodest without the skin-tight leggings, it's too immodest with leggings. Leggings are too tight to be considered modest. They cling to your skin, letting people see every outline. If a skirt is too short without the skin-tight leggings, it's almost worse with them. Besides, the long skirts are coming back in fashion! and they are so much prettier than jean skirts anyway. In my opinion. Don't layer leggings, and don't wear leggings unless you wear them under something you can wear on its own. Respect our brothers in christ, girls! They deserve better than that.

I can't think of anything else I'd like to say against some fashions... but if you see any please tell me.

thanks for reading!
