Fashion & Business

It's finally starting to get a bit colder here in Texas, and that means fall fashion! Every fall season we seen tons of new trends come out, and this year is no different! Here are five fall fashion trends that I've seen all over social media lately! 

1. Cowboy Boots 

    This is a huge trend that I've seen a lot lately. I noticed it during the summer all over Instagram, and it's     definitely coming into the fall as well! I love the look of cowboy boots with a huge chunky sweater dress or even skirts! Cowboy boots are pretty versatile and can be dressed up or down! 

    Here are some links to some cowboy boots I've found!

       Emery Rose Black Boots

       Red Cowboy Boots

2. Leather Everything!

    Leather has been a very popular trend this year! I've seen leather pants, oversized leather shackets, and leather blazers. I am obsessed with this trend and can't wait to see how influences continue to style            look! I especially like the look of oversized leather blazers with a simple top underneath! There are            definitely so many ways to style it!

    Here are some links for some (faux) leather items!

          Princess Polly Leather Pants

          White Fox Brown Leather Pants

3. Sweater Vests

    This is a particular trend that I have completely in love with. I've found that especially with the warmer     Texas fall, sweater vests provide the perfect compromise! Sweater vests can be worn everyday or even     dressed up! You can go with a more oversized, dress look or opt for something more cropped! Either way, sweater vests are so adorable!

    Here are some links for sweater vests!

4. Tall Black Boots

       I have seen this trend all over Instagram and TikTok, and I am so obsessed! My favorite way I've seen        these styled has been with a cute black skirt and an oversized blazer! I think these boots are extremely        versatile and can be worn throughout the winter as well!

       Here are some links for boots I've found!

5. Shackets 

    Shackets have been around for awhile, but I've recently seen them a ton on Pinterest! I definitely see the     whole oversized look being big this fall, and shackets fit that perfectly! There are ton of different                options for shackets so they can be worn a ton of different ways. My personal favorite are the plaid            ones!

     Here are some links for shackets I've found!

~Meet Kara~

 

FAB: Why did you join FAB & how has being a member helped you?

KARA: I was in search for a new organization to be involved in on campus for my last semester. So when I had found FAB, I was so excited because the members are cool and we all love fashion. It's been a great opportunity to be around more like minded people especially since the fashion presence in Houston is small. With FAB, I have been able to go to fashion shows, meet fashion professionals, and just talk to people who have a similar interest as me. 

FAB: How would you describe your personal style?

KARA: When I'm shopping or if you look in my closet, I don't really follow a trend. I shop for comfortable clothes, clothes that make me look and feel good, clothes that not only are affordable, but good quality. Mostly neutral colors and a pop of color every now and then.

FAB: Who inspires you in the Fashion Industry and Why?

KARA:  I wouldn't say that there is someone who specifically inspired me in the fashion industry. I’ve just always had a love for shopping. Anyone that knows me knows that it is my favorite thing to do. To be honest, I think it’s because my mom also loves shopping for shoes, so I would always go to the store with her when I was little. However, instead of shoes, I loved clothes and so the obsession begun. Now, I follow a lot of fashion bloggers on Instagram such as @missenocha, @sarahjoholder, @notjessfashion, etc.

FAB: What does Fashion mean to you?

KARA:  Fashion is a form of art, a way to express yourself. It can reflect your personality, mood, and thoughts without even saying a word. It personally makes me feel good when I look good and it acts a stress reliever on a bad day.

FAB: What is your dream job in the fashion industry? 

KARA: My dream job is to plan and coordinate events in the Fashion and Beauty industry. I have always loved fashion shows and other events that revolve around fashion and beauty. After researching, my "dream job" would fall under the Fashion Marketing aspect of the Fashion Industry.
