Fall fashion is in and at full swing, sadly, but quite gradually moving toward the warmer winter clothes as the week goes on. But before the weather turned Iowa into the tundra, I had a beautiful fall day with all colors of leaves falling and the sun out to capture the hot new trends in for fall.
According to stores all over the United States,
+Forever 21,
+PacSun,
+American Eagle Outfitters and many others, big sweaters and cardigans are the hot commodity this year for fall. In fact, if you check out
Forever 21 they are currently doing an Instagram challenge of 21 days of layers, where you can check out how to pair your large sweater and cardigans with many layers to fit in with the hottest new trend.
I had an absolute blast photographing Cassie. She was a natural and knows how to work it. Cassie wore a large speckled cardigan, with a plain black long sleeved shirt and black leggings. At first this might sound plain and boring, but when she wore a long thick necklace and tall black combat boots, to me it tied it all together. Perfect outfit, for a perfect fall day. The only thing that could make this exact outfit even hotter, is throwing on a burgundy beanie just to give it a pop of color. Now, I know some people aren't fond of the beanie look, which is perfectly fine because without the beanie the outfit is still adorable and if you are looking to add in color, you can change the shoes to a cognac brown boot which I had Cassie do later in the shoot. Although, I am fully in love with wearing beanies; I think it almost gives it a totally different look.
Even though big sweaters and beanies are only a few of the hottest commodities this fall, doesn't mean you have to wear it the way Cassie did, or someone else told you to. Make it your own style and wear it how you want. Fashion is one of the best ways to express YOURSELF! Have fun with it!
Huge thanks to my naturally beautiful model Cassie Sorensen. One of the easiest and most fun I've had with taking pictures. Check her out on twitter at @Cassie91S!
