3 Fall Closet Staples

Do you ever just look in your closet and think..."oh what the hell?" Because I do it about 30 times a day! Sometimes picking out what to wear can be such a task, especially in the fall. I mean, ladies, you can only wear Ugg boots and leggings with your favorite sweater so much before all you betches start to look alike!

So far it hasn't been cold enough to wear cute little tights, so we're transitioning into the colder weather with tall socks. Thigh high, knee high, wool, ribbed, you name it. The best thing about them is that they go with everything, dresses, skirts, jeans and even shorts! I'm totally obsessed  with them, pair it with the right shoes and you look fab but even better, still comfy!

Also, we all know it's a no brainer that boots for fall are everything! Every fall and winter I notice the same thing...that betch that has those old, water stained, foot leaning to the side...UGGS. Then you take a look at your own and think hmmm, maybe mine are a little beat up too...Well, it's time to put those babies AWAY. (It has become a personal goal of mine to not wear them a whole lot this year.) I feel like you should at least 3 types of boots this fall, short, medium and those badass knee high boots. They are a closet staple!!!

Last, but certainly not the least fall favorite, jackets! I mean duh, common sense! These past years I've had a hard time of buying a jacket then finding myself just hating it the next month. But I won't let that happen this year! This year you just have to have a leather jacket and utility jackets! I have become obsessed with utility jackets this season because they look good with anything!! That just doesn't happen. Also, leather is everything this season! And when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING, I'm completely obsessed!! So since I'm obsessed with the two, why not combine them?

Pictures are all below.

Trend alert: snakeskin

Wait...did she really just say snakeskin is a trend this year? YES, I did! As crazy as it may seems, snakeskin is a very popular theme this year. The print is making appearances in ads for Gucci, Prada, Roberto Cavalli and many others.

I find myself strangely drawn to and yet repelled by snakeskin. Some smart betch said less is more, and that saying right there should be your motto for this print. Accessorize people, I can't say it enough...accessorize, accessorize, accessorize, ACCESSORIZE. That's the most important thing when pulling together a look. I mean everyone knows that, it's in the fashion bible, duh!
Accents will be key, shoes, purses, clutches, jewelry, & phone cases are the cutest way to throw in this pattern to tie your whole look together.

Who is PA fashionista?

     Hello my fashionistas! I've been contemplating making a fashion blog for some time. To let you guys know a little about me, I'm 5'11, a fashion enthusiast, model, and current cosmetology student. I'm from Pennsylvania, hence "PA" Fashionista. This blog will be about my number one love, fashion. Fashion is something that has made me happy and inspired since the day I can remember.

     My overall goal is to write about trends I've been loving and seeing, things in magazines, books, street style, anything fashion related. And of course keep you up to date with trends that are great and trends you should stay far, far, away from! SO, to sum everything up, anything that deals with fashion...I'm your girl! I'll be keeping you updated on the East Coast's style world ;)

     Stay tuned fashionistas, your favorite long legged chic betch.
