Undoubtedly, mini skirts are a fall must-have, whether paired with patterned tights and sky high heels or ballet flats and a blazer. Even fall lookbooks from Zara and Elizabeth & James feature skirts and dresses that fall above the knee. This Fashionista chose to sport a knit sweater and gray booties with her fitted mini skirt. Heeled booties are fall and winter’s favorite accessory since they provide a good balance with a mini skirt. I also love how this Fashionista made her look more casual by sporting a slouchy knit sweater. I am loving all the trendy fall essentials in one ensemble!

CollegeFashionista: Tell me about your outfit.
Tanna Nelson: I’m wearing a simple peach t-shirt with a mini skirt from Forever 21. My sweater is Juicy Couture and it was such a great purchase because I wear it all the time. It goes with jeans or a skirt. I’m also wearing high heel booties.
CF: What is your favorite store?
TN: Forever 21 is probably my favorite store because of the trendy clothes and affordable prices. Certain pieces are worth investing in a well-known designer, but I like how I can get similar things at Forever 21.
CF: What is the most-used item in your closet?
TN: My most-used item is my flare jeans. I wear them all the time and I find them more flattering than skinny jeans. I was so glad when flare jeans became more popular this season!
How To: Look for a mini skirt, either fitted like this one from Zara or one that’s flowy, like this one from Topshop. You can pair it with tights are just go with bare legs if it isn’t too chilly out! For a great pair of booties, look at Steve Madden, which carries a variety of styles with different heel sizes. For the open sweater like this Fashionista’s, Urban Outfitters has a very similar one for a great price! Just combine all these items with a simple v-neck tee shirt and you’ll look fabulous!
