- 3. FROM THE EDITOR... Now that I told you a little bit about myself, I want to show you a sense of my style, and show you how I’ll be styling Back To School outfits. Throughout the July catalog and Style File you will see we are slowly transitioning back to fall. Back to school means early mornings and late nights, so I like to pick the most comfortable clothes in my closet; leggings, jeans, large tee shirts, cardigans and sweaters. To make my outfits stylish, I add belts, scarves, boots (with fuzzy socks!), and other accessories to spice up my looks. Fall fashion is definitely my favorite because it gives me a chance to layer up and have fun with my outfits every morning! Hey Fashionistas! It’s Biyce, the Store Operations intern from Burlington (336) writing to you all. Before I get into the styling for this month, I want to tell you who I am and about my experience here in the NYC Home Office! I’m 18 years old and will be starting my freshman year at UMaine next year. I have been working for dELiA*s for almost two years. I have been in the city for two weeks now and it’s been amazing! Everyone in the office is great; they’re so nice and welcoming. They’ve been teaching me a lot, and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend my summer. I learn so much more about the business, fashion, and New York every single day and could not be happier! It’s been a big adjustment moving to New York from a little suburb outside of Boston. Everything is so much bigger and faster in NYC. I’m still trying to get used to living here and finding stuff to do (other than work) but it has been incredible getting to know this beautiful city. Shout out to my Burlington Team back home! I miss you guys! xo, B Where I find inspiration?

- 4. JEANS ARE A GREAT SUMMER TO FALL TRANSITION PIECE. MOST OF US ARE NOT READY TO LET GO OF THE FUN SUMMER FASHION, BUT SIMPLY REPLACING SHORTS WITH A PAIR OF JEANS WILL ALLOW YOU TO TRANSFER THOSE SUMMER PIECES INTO FALL! Jeans can be dressed up or down depending on what you pair them with. Whether you want to dress to impress or have a lazy Monday morning, jeans are the go to item. When the weather cools down you get the opportunity to layer up your outfits in many different ways, giving you more room to mix and match different pieces. Accessorize outfits with headpieces, arm candy, deep nail colors, scarves, belts, bags, etc. and you’ll have perfect outfits everyday. Here are some helpful styling tips: SKYLARS OR THE LIVS 1. Wear your summer crop top or tank top with high waisted jeans and an oversized cardigan for boho chic attitude. 2. No fear denim on denim! Add a chambray shirt on top of your fave high wasited jeans. Tie the shirt tails together, and finish the look with a nice pair suede booties. DENIM
- 5. 1. Don’t wash your jeans to often. The less frequently they touch water, the longer the color will last. 2. If you need to wash your jeans, then wash them inside out, in cold water and with mild detergent to preserve the color. It’s best to let them air dry, and if they get a little stiff, you can put them into a dryer on low heat for a few minutes to soften them up. 3. White jeans can be washed in a warm to cold cycle, or hot water if you have stains. 4. To get rid of odor, hang your jeans on a hanger and mist with Febreeze to release odor. You can also put them into a dryer with a dryer sheet. 5. Try to not machine dry denim pieces. If you have to, turn down the temperature to the lowest possible heat setting, and remove before they’re completely dry. Lay flat or hang upside down to dry. 6. Add a 1/2-cup of distilled white vinegar to the final rinse cycle while doing laundry to maintain the wash of your favorite pair of dark jeans. denimtips OLIVIAS, JAYDENS, TAYLORS 1. Pair a nice top with skinny jeans, and flats for a pretty and polished look. Add a scarf and stack some bracelets together to finish the look. 2. Distressed skinnies look perfect with combat boots. Pair your white tee and top it off with a military jacket for a go to outfit good for any day. *** When picking out skinny jeans focus on fit to make sure it fits you like a glove. You want make sure it fits tight enough without looking baggy. MORGANS 1. Flannel shirts look amazing with boot cut jeans! Add a graphic tee underneath and add some Keds to get that effortless look in the morning, while still looking trendy. 2. Tuck a tank top or racer back cami into your jeans, add a nice large cardigan, belt and throw your hair up into a top knot. It’s probably the most comfortable fall outfit, giving you a cute grungy look. Throw on your favorite pair of flats and you’re ready to go!

- 6. Camis and tanks are a must have for ANY season! During summer and spring they add a great pop of color to any outfit, and can be used to make summer outfits a little more appropriate if they have large cutouts or an open back. During fall or winter, they can be used to keep you warmer as the weather is cooling down. Wearing them with your lace tops will allow you to transition your summer look into fall, while looking stylish (and keeping you warm). Layer them up with flannels or cham- bray shirts, and button the shirt half way, so you can see the tank under- neath, but aren’t showing too much. The options with plain tees are endless. They can be worn all year round for any occasion, whether your have a laid back day at home or going to the movies with your friends. Plain tees are my fa- vorite because they are super versitile and look great just An oversized plain tee looks great with leggings and a nice thick scarf. finish your look with any jacket that suits your style. A fitted plain tee can be added on to jeans, with any shoe, from flats to boots, all depending on your mood.warm out. Graphics are a dELiA*s signature. We have a whole wall dedicated to it, and we have different tees to match different personalities. Graphics are a must have piece to fall outfits because they are great for layering, just pick one that fits you and put your own style into it. The concert tees look amazing paired with a leather jacket, and fitted distressed skinny jeans. Finish the outfit with combat boots for an edgy old school look. The graphics with different quotes are definitely attention grabbers and are great with cardigans, leggings and riding boots.Chambray and flannel shirts are a nice alternative to the classic jacket. They still look good paired with tees and tanks but there’s more you can do with them. You can tie them in front with skirts, or, layer them with leggings. I love chambray shirts with black denim jeans (or double up the denim with blue jeans) and flats or boots. CAMIS/ TANKS PLAIN TEES GRAPHIC TEES
- 7. Sweatshirts and sweaters are my go to pieces whenever I’m feeling a little lazy. I can not wait to go home and change into my loose comfy sweaters after a long day at school. There is nothing better than grabbing that worn in sweatshirt or sweater and feeling like you’re in your blanket all day. Adding a thick infinity scarf is always a great way to be even more comfortable while spicing up your outfit. Jackets! Jackets! Jackets! There are so many of them to choose from! Military, varsity, denim, moto, bomber, leather, cardigans the list goes on and on! They are the outer most pieces to any fall outfit, and pull the whole look together! 1. Pick the perfect jacket for the perfect outfit! If you’re feeling edgy, add a leather jacket. 2. Sporty, go for the varsity jacket. 3. Boho, grab that oversized cardigan. See how you’re feeling and choose accordingly. My ABSOLUTE favorite item during fall and winter are leggings!!! They feel like sweatpants but look a lot cuter! Love wearing them with oversized items such as cardigans, sweaters, sweatshirts, flannels, etc. Its keeps the outfit nice and simple and give me the opportunity to add on accessory pieces like scarves, beanies, long necklaces, boots and bags making the perfect fall outfit. Summer is not the only time for skirts and dresses! They are a perfect transition piece! Adding sweater, cardigans, and tights transforms those cute skater skirts and dresses from summer to fall. It’s a go to alternative in your closet for the days you want to dress up a little more. I love wearing my skater skirts and dresses with tights and ankle booties, or boots with a little wedge when I go out to dinner with friends celebrating the end of a long week.

- 8. The fall is the time to layer up simple items. You want a nice jacket or cardigan with a shirt and bottoms, whether that may be leggings, jeggings, jeans, or a skirt. The key is comfort. The accessories are what take the outfit to the next level. Whether it’s a statement necklace or boots, accessories are a girl’s best friend and fall is the perfect time to stack them up! BEANIES are a great add on onto your outfit, whether your going to school or going out with your friends. They hide any bad hair days, keep you warm, and they’re super cute!!! SCARVES are the perfect item to grab when you’re rushing out of the door after sleeping in until 8am. They add a little something to the outfit and keep you cozy when your dozing off during class. Putting your hair up into a topknot with a cute hairpiece, like a headband or a bow also looks great while hiding your bed head! A BAG is an essential no matter where you are going. Leave the boring black back pack at home and grab one of these cute printed ones! BOOTS! The go to shoe during the fall and winter. Whether it’s riding boots or combat boot - boots are the best! They are comfortable and they look SO good! Invest in a nice pair of boots, it will be the first thing you grab as you run out the door, because they go with any fall outfit. KEDS OR CONVERSE look great with any kind of jeans, dresses, skater skirts, or leggings. You can pair them with any outfit. You can be sure that they won’t hurt your feet while you’re walking from class to class. *NOTE beanies are great for going out and school, but please keep them off the sales floor, they don’t meet dress code!
