On my trip to New York the weekend before school, I was constantly on the lookout for some great outfits to bring back as inspiration to write a column on fashion this school year. Fall is coming up quickly and for most people, it is their favourite season to try some new looks. The following photographs and descriptions are two of my favourite looks from the weekend and some fall inspirations to get your brain juices working for fall fashion.

Spotted on the Steps of the Metropolitan Museum

The first picture is of Allie. She is from Washington, D.C.; she came to New York to experience art and culture. She has gone to many museums and art galleries on her weekend trip.

Her outfit is created from her own personal style. She chose her skirt as her statement piece because she loved the colour and the animal print. The length is classy, just below the knee. She accessorized with fashionable black and gold sunglasses and blue flats. For her, this is the ultimate museum-perusing outfit.

This length of skirt is ideal for the fall season especially for business casual situations. I saw a lot of skirts this length in my time there. I also saw a lot of crop tops with high-waisted shorts, pants and skirts, something I feel that will be a trend this fall.

The bottom photo is Augusta. She is traveling from Britain with her boyfriend. They are here to see the sights and experience New York culture while meeting other likeminded young people to enjoy their time with. She chose a cream romper that is versatile and comfy. She brought comfy sandals and sunglasses for the practicality of walking the city streets.

This romper could be worn in the fall season with a pair of tights, a scarf, and some brown boots. It is usually easy to make the transition from summer to fall with rompers and short dresses.

Her sunglasses are also a great example of a slight cat-eye style. This is a style that you will be seeing quite frequently this fall.

I also love that her hair is up with a high neckline. I find that this fall will see low necklines to accompany long hair and high necklines accompanying up dos.
