Believe it or not, back to school is my favorite time of year. I love fall, football games, and boots! Fall fashion is the best, expecially since blush is the color of the season this year. To keep my school shopping on track, I go through my closet and get rid of things I don’t want, then make a list of things I want to look for. I’ve already done a little bit of school shopping and plan on doing a haul when I get most of it but for now I’d love to share with you guys some items and trends I’m digging for the fall/bts season!
This Monogrammed Sherpa Pullover from Marleylilly is so cute for fall! It looks super soft and comfy, perfect for chilly nights. I like that it’s tunic style so you don’t feel bad wearing it with leggings. I’d style this with leggings or jeans and my Sperry duck boots or riding boots.
This trend has been around for a little bit but it’s still going strong into fall. The distressed look makes a casual outfit more interesting and unique. I love this top from Forever 21 (pictured above in maroon). It’d be perfect to wear with jeans and an oversized cardigan to school!
This is another trend I think is super cute. I’ve been seeing corsets popping up since Kim K caused controversy by putting little North in one (which I thought was adorbs). This corset tee is a great way to try out this trend. Styled with a choker and jeans, as pictured above, this trend can be fun and school appropriate.
A cute plaid skirt is a closet staple! I love this one‘s a-line siloette and the fact you can wear it on your waist rather than hips. As a petite girl, I wear my skirts up a little to make me look taller and better proportioned. I would style this skirt with a button down or neutral sweater and a thick headband for some preppy Blair Waldorf vibes.
My last piece is more of a want than a need considering I own a billion pairs of shoes, but these are only $22.99! Mules are the hot shoe this season and Target has stepped up the game. These mules are the perfect pair for fall. I love the buckle detail on the top! And for that price? How can you say no. These would be so cute with the plaid skirt I talked about before or a casual pair of jeans.
I hope I’ve inspired your back to school shopping and made you all excited for fall! If you have any style questions or just wanna chat feel free to message me on Instagram, @styleby_jessica. Until next time ❤️

I discovered this products last summer and haven’t stopped using it since! Maybelline Dream Pure BB cream is the best BB cream I’ve used. It’s light but still gives great coverage. I have combo skin and although moisturizing, it doesn’t get greasy after a few hours. If you want a light, everyday BB cream, I would totally recommend this one. You can get it at Target, Ulta, Walmart, or anywhere drug store makeup is sold.
My next product is a bit of a splurge, but for random breakouts or dark spots, totally worth it. Boi-ing concealer from Benefit cosmetics is an amazing industrial strength concealer. I love this product because you can throw it in you purse for emergency coverage and it blends so easy. It’s normally $20, but at right now at 
Another more expensive product I think is totally worth the cost is Buxom Full-On Lipstick. I own it in Dolly (pictured), which is a lovely reddish nude color that I’ve never seen anywhere else. It’s plumping, but doesn’t tingle like some of the other Buxom products. Also, they’re matte, yet super hydrating which I haven’t seen in any other matte lipsticks. I have it in the shade Sydney too, which is my go-to nude lippie. They’re $20 at 
Mascara is a tough product to find a great one and stick to. I always found myself picking up a different one every other time I went to the store; until I found this one. L’Oreal Telescopic Carbon Black mascara is the AMAZING!!! My lashes have never been so long and natural looking. The carbon black line from L’Oreal is really great, it’s pure black and comes off easy in the shower. I’ve also tried the Voluminous Carbon Black mascara from them, it was a good mascara too, but I favor length over volume personally. You can get it from Walmart, Target, or wherever drugstore brands are sold for around $8.
My last product is the Too Faced Natural Eyes palette. These shadows are perfect for beginners or people who like a more natural eye look. It comes with a pamphlet that shows you how to do three looks: day, classic, and fashion. The looks are super easy to do, or you can mix and match to make your own look. I’ve had this palette for years and it’s always my go-to. It’s $36 at
