Talk about getting the ball rolling early!

I know it might seem like a contradiction to step out of your comfort zone during a season where the weather calls for being anything but uncomfortable, but fall is the ultimate statement-making season to show off your stylish efforts. And although it's much easier to slap on a pair of sweats and call it a day, fall is the quintessential time to unveil your inner fashionista, even if it only makes an appearance one day out of the season.
