Fall's Fashion Trends


We all work to stay up on the latest fashion so here's my guide to help you navigate this Fall's fashion.  

          Clothes          

Neutrals are back - soft pinks, gossamer fabric, taupe, nude and white are all back so keep that self-tanner handy!  (As a side note Victoria's Secret self-tanning lotion smells wonderful and gives instant color)


Double Crepe Trina Dress - Shoshanna


Chunky woven sweaters that look all warm and cozy.  Pair with jeans or over a peter pan collared top.  Check out this one or this one, both from Abercrombie


Bittan Sweater - A&F


Kaylie Sweater - A&F


Peplum - dresses or shirts - this look can be dressed up or dressed down depending on your accessories.  A peplum top, a trendy necklace, and a pencil skirt is a classic, work-trendy outfit for fall


Keyhole Back Peplum Top - Charlotte Russe

Sheath dresses - channel your Jackie O. and give off the mature, successful vibe. This figure-hugging dress exudes elegance and it couldn't be easier.  Throw it on and go - you'll always look put together!  Pair it with a chunky necklace (raid that summer jewely box!) and trendy heels and you will have your updated look.  Look for ones that are color blocked, ones that feature '70s prints, or ones with subtle details like a cut-out back.  Check out these two:





Open Bow Back Sheath Dress - Forever 21


Belted Ponte Sheath Dress - Ann Taylor LOFT


Ankle length pants - slim fitting and classic, these pants stop at your ankle but create quite a statement.  Pair them with cute ballet flats, a cute top and a scarf or jacket for a polished look.  JCrew has some trendy options, I like these best


Cafe Capri in Tuxedo Foulard - JCrew


Leather : jackets or dresses with leather elements (beware of the leather dress, unless it's real leather it may look cheap and trashy)  I like this one, classic yet edgy


Cynthia Steffe "Dylan" Leather Yoke Peplum Dress - Nordstrom


          Shoes          

Smoking shoes - not just for Hugh Hefner anymore!  These flats are going to be one of the it shoes of the season.  Pair them with skinny jeans or a pleated skirt for a fall-appropriate look.  And if you're really into it, score a pair in a print (animal will be all over this Fall)  Buy them cheaply here at Wet Seal or splurge here at Nordstrom. (These combine the suede trend and the smoking shoe - two for one!)
                         
Jack Rogers 'Worth' Flat - Nordstrom
     
Smoking Animal Slipper - Wet Seal


Moto mid-calf boots - rugged, edgy and tough, these shoes aren't for everyone or every outfit, but paired with a flowy hi-low hem skirt or jeans and flowy top, these shoes can make you a fashionista rather than an unapproachable tough girl!  Suede, neutral and moto, these boots from Wet Seal are perfect for Fall


Studded Faux Suede Moto Boot - Wet Seal

Suede heels and booties are a must!  Any color is great, but perhaps challenge yourself and get colored ones to add spice to any outfit.  I love them all!


MICHAEL Michael Kors 'Cynthia' Pump - Nordstrom


Steve Madden 'Buzzer' Pump - Nordstrom


Steven by Steve Madden 'Astro' Peep Toe Pump - Nordstrom


Tacetti Open Toe Pump - Nordstrom




Sorel snow boots - Maybe not for those of you in warmer climates, but for those of us who will see snow, these are the must-have snow boot of the season. Prepare for winter now, maybe you'll get a good deal!
Sorel 'Joan of Arc' Boot - Nordstrom
