While the weather continues to shift from sunny to gloomy during these late-fall nights, street fashion has seen some extreme highs and lows as well. Last week, for example, we spotted many people wearing their pajamas out and about. But this week, our street-style prayers were answered when we spotted Madison Morris, a Pueblo native and student at Metropolitan State University of Denver who has a unique taste in accessories.

Continue reading to learn Morris's autumn anthem, which style icons influence her aesthetic and, of course, what's inside her bag. See also: -What's in your bag? A Swiss army knife, hairspray and more! -What's in your bag? Texas IDs, journals and more! -What's in your bag? Jackalope carries flatiron, antlers, makeup and more!

This Lacoste Beanie is Morris's favorite accessory, which she picked up at Nordstrom. "I planned to give it away as a gift, but I liked it so much that I ended up keeping it for myself," says Morris. These black leather boots are made by Jeffrey Campbell and feature leather fringe around the silver steel toes. "I usually buy my shoes online; I love this website called karmaloop.com," Morris adds.

Go to page 2 to see what's inside Madison Morris's bag!

This is Morris's black leather briefcase with leopard-printed fur detail. It is at once sturdy and sleek, functional and fashionable. Let's take a gander inside, shall we? Inside of her briefcase we have the essentials: black Almay eyeliner and classic Burt's Bees lip balm. Since final exams are next week, Morris has her biology notes printed out in slides to study. "I really don't have much with me today besides my keys and phone," she says. Style analysis: Although Morris travels light on this particular evening, what she lacks in objects she compensates with exciting style. Her belted, gray fur vest is her favorite color and channels Andy Warhol superstar Edie Sedgwick, who also had a penchant for furry coats. Morris mixes high-end fashion brands like Lacoste and Jeffrey Campbell with basic blue jeans and a black, long-sleeved shirt to allow her fine accessories to shine. She takes inspiration from the streets of downtown Denver and creates her own look that boosts her confidence.

Be your own mover and shaker on the streets, Denver.
