Cuse Closet: Fall's comfy cool style

Cuse Closet peeks inside the staff's wardrobes to find out where we're going and how good we look getting there.

Today's closet: Lydia Shahmoon

My goal for this crisp autumn day was simple: make it to Psych feeling comfortable without looking sloppy.

I decided to channel the season with some classic fall colors. An oversized maroon tank - coupled with my favorite pair of dark skinnies - was an easy way to bring the rich colors of fall to my outfit. 

I spiced up the deep hues with a sparkly gold cardi in keeping with the autumn palette. A pair of my most comfortable black leather boots was a nice alternative to the Uggs that are all too frequently sported around campus (you know who you are).  

I accessorized the look with a tarnished dark silver necklace to play off the bright gold cardigan. Lastly, it was time to add a bit of interest to the outfit with a tan belt, shown off with a half tuck of my tank.  

The half-tuck is a great way to look effortlessly polished; it is the perfect mix between sloppy and chic.

As per usual I was running late for class, so I grabbed my tortoise shell Clubmasters for a finishing touch and cruised on over to class.
