This years fall trends feel like anything goes. Not that there are not fun trends but lines seem to be becoming more and more blurred. What I am seeing more and more over the years is that the trend is YOUR personal style. This is really great because you are now able to dress in a style that really reflects who you are. If you love animal print great, if you are more artistic there is a way to create a fashionable trendy look, and if you are more traditional and like sensible clothing with more tailoring you are in luck too! The key is really taking the pieces you love and making them work for you and your own personal style.

The things I am loving for fall are: textured and patterned sweaters; jumpsuits (although since I am short they are hard to find); all the amazing winter coats; eye catching prints and patterns from animal, to floral to stripes and lines. I am so happy that mini skirts are the rage as I love them with tall boots and tights. I also love printed pants as it’s a great way to keep outfits very interesting.

So what am I
not loving? Well, I’m not as much of a fan of the boyfriend lace up flat shoe. I think they are very cute but it really must fit your personal style as they tend to have a very unique look–a look that is not me! So if that is your look you will love them as they are very comfortable. I also feel like the sporty pant (which is gathered at the bottom) that seems to be so popular is hard for many people. In order to pull off this look well, you really need to be tall and thin. Once you add some curves to those pants they have a tendency to look more like pajamas! I agree they are super comfy but flattering on most they are not!
Of course I am loving all the orchid and green colors in the store. It’s actually a pretty nice blend of color choices this season. I would say the one thing that is missing from the colors for fall is a lot of teal–it such a great color for everyone. However, the purple and greens that are in the stores seem to be offering a lot of choices. Remember when choosing a green color if your skin has warm undertones choose greens with more yellow in them, and if your skin is more cool choose a green with more blue undertones in it.
What I will say, is that there seems to be something in the stores for everyone this season. If you are ready to shop for fall and feel a little overwhelmed by all choices and variety let’s shop together and I will help you make sure your personal style matches your purchases.
