Welcome to #WhoWhatWearing, a series where we highlight you, our stylish community of readers. Each of the following looks came straight from the photos you tagged us in on Instagram. Want to be featured next time? You guessed it: Use #WhoWhatWearing on the outfit posts you want us to see.

When I was younger, jewelry was always an afterthought—something you threw on right before you walked out the door as the finishing touch to an already well-thought-out look. But with age comes wisdom, and I’ve realized that jewelry should not only be part of the equation from the beginning, but it can also be the focal point of a standout outfit. The right pieces can level-up even the most basic outfits. Simple jeans and a tee can suddenly become a look.

Fashion girls are already proving that this theory rings true by pairing the season’s biggest jewelry trends with outfits on all ends of the spectrum. From the ’80s earring trend making a major comeback (the most extra of accessory trends, in the best way) to the seashell trend carrying over from summer, below we’re breaking down the six biggest fall jewelry trends we’re already seeing all over our most stylish readers. We’ve also shopped out each trend, you know, in case any or all of these really speak to you.

Street style is known for being a bit, well, out there. To those of us who either work in the industry or are simply fashion-obsessed, the shock of these outside-the-box outfits kind of just wears off over time. But to someone like my 93-year-old grandmother, the street style looks we don’t bat an eye at have her feeling some type of way. In an effort to really get a rise out of her, I decided to pull 10 street style outfits we’ve seen over the course of fashion month that even I was shocked by. If these looks were causing me to do a double take, I could only imagine what my grandmother had to say about them.

To preface, my grandma is quite a stylish woman and always has been. For her most recent birthday (the one where she turned 93), we took her shopping because all she wanted was some new animal-print pieces to add to her fall wardrobe. In other words, she is pretty open when it comes to trends and variations of style. Ahead, I had her rank the 10 street style images I chose for her from her personal favorite to her least favorite. In addition to naming each of the looks, she provided a brief explanation for each. Her commentary is both extremely spot-on and extremely hilarious, so I highly encourage you to scroll all the way to the bottom to see which street style outfit resonated least with her personal taste.
