LoveBrownSugar Chic: Back to Cool

Seeing as the weather has already started to change up here in NYC, it’s about that time for me to retire these summer dresses and ease into my Fall wardrobe…

The “Back to School” season used to be my absolute favorite time of the year. New teachers, new classes, new clothes. I would get SO excited. And every year, my Mom bought me a new backpack. Fall just didn’t feel real without a new backpack.

I wore this one on the first day of NYFW and through Fashion’s Night Out. Best decision I ever made. It’s okay to pull from retro classics every once in a while to update your look.

Another thing I love about the season’s changing is how nature responds. Obsessed with leaves and trees – can you tell?

What were your Fall staples as a child? Would you ever bring them back?

  1. A backpack during NYFW is a must. This year I went without. That was a mistake, even though I had a big bag…a backpack is just so much better. Yours is really cute.

    1. Thanks Ria! It was a super cheap find too, only like $30. This was my first time wearing a backpack to NYFW so I was wary at first but def was the best decision I could’ve made! Lol

  2. I like your whole look, especially your gold jewelry and your watch. There is something about a good watch that just screams, “I’m wealthy.” Even if you’re not necessarily wealthy. Great backpack!!

  5. Love that Bag and the accessories! The look is so cute.

    My mom is a teacher and growing up she made sure we had a new bag pack and sneakers lol. That was my go to thing.
