Megan’s pick

With so many unique, beautiful pieces at every turn, pulling from the Fashion School Store wasn’t easy. But when I spotted a pair of charcoal wide-leg pants, I instantly knew I wanted to use them for my pick this week.
Let the pants do the talking by pairing them with a simple dolman tee. For texture and interest, throw on a chunky knit like this beautiful sweater with green flower detailing by Eileen Smith. Add a printed silk scarf of a coordinating color combination to pull the look together. Tucking a necklace underneath the scarf enhances the elegance of the look and adds a playful luster. Finish the look off with a pair of low-key pumps to emphasize the incredible silhouette of the pants and you’re ready to go.

Shibori printed scarf (Carl Belfiore), $60.00
Black crew dolman, $25.00
Wide leg pant, $85.00
Sweater (Tie my Bow – Eileen Smith), $68.00

 Julia’s Pick

Pair a drawstring skirt with a comfy sweater for a quirky and playful look perfect for transitioning to fall. The skirt is adjustable in length using the drawstrings on either side, and the sweater is long enough to wear by itself over a pair of tights.

Zero waste design skirt (Kara Cronley, Nicole Greer, Natalie Pfenning, Abigail Roos), $65.00
Sweater (Tie my Bow – Eileen Smith), $68.00
Red Earrings, $25.00

 Ashley’s Pick

Dress down a sophisticated skirt with a graphic tee for a perfect casual daytime look. Wearing a long necklace as a belt is a fun way to accessorize your look while saving cash. Studded loafers are a perfect addition to make any look more edgy and glamorous.

Geometric print skirt, $35.00

Ashley’s Pick:

Wearing a belt around your waist adds subtle structure to your look. Mixing patterns is a fun and effective way of spicing up a two-toned outfit. When wearing pieces with many prints, finishes or embellishments, go minimal on jewelry.

Embellished star print top, $16.00
Asymmetrical belt, $15.00

Julia’s Pick:

Pair a classic, black and white printed dress with a loose-fitting colored tee to. Tie the tee to give it a more laid-back, casual feel. Accessorize with chunky beaded bracelets and layered necklaces, making this look very customizable. Dress it up or dress it down, and take this look from day to night.

  Megan’s Pick:

Spice up a black and white polka-dot dress by layering it with a sheer, cobalt blue blouse to add a pop of color. Emphasize the loose-fitting silhouette by leaving the bottom two buttons of the blouse unfastened. Throwing a neutral sweater over the combination really pulls the look together and makes it appropriate for fall. Accent the look with a statement necklace that hugs the neck and sits perfectly with the collar of the blouse.

Sweater: Exposed seam stripe, $34.00
