Part 2 Fall Trends Based on Your Style

Modern Retro. Definitely sounds like an oxymoron, but really it's not. No one wants to completely resurrect the fashion failures of the past. Think crimped hair, linebacker shoulder pads, bras that come to a sharp point. Uhn-uh! What we want to see this season are graphic black and white prints, flat scrunched boots and A-line dresses. These styles are updated, tweaked to be revived into the modern look that fits todays fashions. Notice how the scrunch boots in the photo do not resemble the pirate-esque scrunch boot of the past? A perfect example of Modern Retro. These boots look great with leggings, and a long tunic or shorter dress.

For a dressier look you could try Diviine Modestee's MaKenna dress. With its color-block styling and its A-line silhouette this dress has the perfect taste of retro. Pair it with a great pair of heels and a chunky beaded necklace and you are perfectly read for work or play! One little fashion hint, however: please don't wear the scrunch boots with the dress, although if you must, choose the cream boots. :)

Next up...Bohemian style.

Fall Trends based on your Style

Each time the seasons change a new wave of trends hit the fashion scene and this fall is no exception. There are so many cute new items out there in the marketplace, how do you decide what trends to try and which to forgo? The answer is to find or select your fashion style and then pick the trendy items that coordinate with that style. Some of the fashion styles we see are:

• The Romantic Look
• Mod Retro
• Bohemian Style
• Classy Black
• Military Chic

Many prefer to stick with one style that they are comfortable with, others celebrate a different style for each outfit. How you choose to express your style/s is of course, entirely up to you. But regardless of your style preferences we've outlined a few trendy pieces that you can add to your wardrobe to either create a style or update the one you already have.

The Romantic Look
The Romantic Look is characterized by ruffles, poet sleeves, 3/4 length Dolman sleeves and high collars. Delicately printed dresses and skirts, especially floral prints are hot items for the romantic look. A jacket like this cute one from Tabeez totally fits the bill...it has both ruffles AND beautiful sleeves. What could be better? You could also pick the Ruffle Blouse by Diviine Modestee (shown above). With its ruffled high collar and satin bowtie sleeves this blouse is the epitomy of the Romantic Look. It can be paired with a skirt (I posted previously about the lady I sat behind who wore this blouse with a velvet grey skirt and it was GORGEOUS!) and even jeans. Add a great silver chain necklace with an assortment of soldered silver charms and you are set.

Next post....Mod Retro. Stay tuned!

Wardrobe Basics for Fall-

Fall is definitely in the air and with it comes the new trends and styles for the season. One of the best ways to showcase a trendy addition to your wardrobe is to pair that trend piece with a few simple basics that every wardrobe should have. Make these basics the best quality you can afford since you may be wearing them often.

1. Denim jeans, preferably skinny or straight leg

2. Pencil skirt-Black or a neutral tan

3. Black Leggings

4. Skimmer or ballet flats

5. Cardigan-This season's trend is the 3/4 length sleeve

6. Long layering tanks and tees (white, black, cream and/or grey)

7. Camisoles-Again start with the basic colors listed above.

8. A great pair of boots

Personally my favorite discovery this fall is the legging. What a great way to make what would normally be a too-short dress into a trendy, modest, hip look! The legging used to be strictly for Hollywood Elite or teenagers, but not so any longer. And not only does the legging make a dress modest, but it covers up that extra thigh flab (not that I would know. *sshhhhh.....*)
