As a child, every year on the first day of school, I would pose with my younger brother for a photo in our new outfits. And while the school year does technically start sometime in early September, I find myself most nostalgic for my younger school days when the trees turn shades of orange and yellow and their leaves begin to cover the ground. Instead of going with traditionally fall shades, I opted for a fresher, more modern, preppy look with transitional pieces that allow for easy layering. The high-waisted denim skirt and white tights add a bit of whimsy balanced by the sweater with shoulder detail. The green cashmere scarf provides a pop of color and keeps away the Autumn chill.
A little Halloween twist.
