Blue jeans, boots, repeat. As I was waiting in line for my Bongo coffee yesterday morning, I realized, we all look the same. Everyone has their pair of cognac brown boots or black leather boots pulled over a pair of medium wash blue skinny jeans. If you want to stand out from other girls on campus this year then pull on a pair of printed jeans. It might seem like a risk, but it is totally worth it. If you are worried you can't pull it off then here are some tips.

How To Wear It

Try something basic up top in a neutral color. For extra warmth throw on a leather or denim jacket. Finish the look with a pair of combat boots or booties with a chunky heel. If you want to try pairing them with another print go for stripes or polka dots, these prints will go great with floral jeans.

Forever 21 $24.50, Charlotte Russe $19.50, ASOS $42.22

Get My Look

My purchase of the week is this pair of flocked floral jeans from Arden B, on sale for $27.99. I paired it with a basic black Urban Outfitters top, a hand-me-down Gap denim jacket and my black combat boots. The burgundy color of the print is great for fall, and they are super comfortable. TIP: They are an additional half off in stores only. Online they are selling for $55.99.

We are all faced with the dilemma: it's cold, but it's not too cold. How do we accommodate? 

Outerwear:

Wear those light jackets that keep you warm, but aren't too heavy! That cute leather jacket, raincoat or even Tilly's Varsity Jacket. Fur bomber hats are also in, so keep your ears warm with Forever 21's "Fur Trim Trapper Hat" for only $5.99.

Let's face it, we just spent all of our money buying books for the fall semester, but we still have this overwhelming desire to keep up with fashion trends. The good news is it's totally possible to keep up and save money. Here are the trends I'm loving for this fall.

Denim

Who says you can't wear denim on denim? Whether it is a dress, a button down, a vest, a jacket or a pair of jeans, denim is in. But before you go buy a jean jacket at Urban or Forever, check out Goodwill or Thriftsmart. These places are denim gold mines. Here's a tip though, we can't all get our vests from the Goodwill in Berry Hill so branch out. I've been going to the one on Charlotte since high school and it's got the good stuff; plus, you can cross the street when your done and get a milkshake from Bobby's Dairy Dip and who doesn't want that?

We are two Belmont students, Jamie and Ashley, looking for fashion clarity in a town of honky-tonk and cowboy boots. There are definitely things to borrow from honky-tonk couture and we'll take you there and well beyond in  "Scattered Foxes." That's our new Nashville fashion blog that will offer a hodge-podge of thoughts and findings among today's fashion essentials. Fashion is both achievable and affordable in Nashville. 

Here are just a few of our own staples:

Jamie: My staples are just a few essentials for any outfit. A pair of worn, black combat boots adds a subtle edge to the outfit — and they're extremely durable for anything the day might bring, rain or shine! Bright red lipstick creates a more vintage look, 170 by Rimmel London is a great stain but stays matte all day. Last, the T-shirt is a great and cheap craft I made on a day off. Amazing what a T-shirt from the thrift store and a pair of scissors can do!
