Fall Fashion 2011

I recently made a trip to New York to check out the Fall Fashion scene.  Buckle up!  This is what I found:

The new trend is Feathers:  Feathers on clothes, shoes, jewelry.  Anywhere you can apply a Hint of Color, Feathers are the way to go.

Long beautiful earrings, chunky cultured necklaces, hand cuff bracelets, pearls Pearls, PEARLS…shiny, simple, natural or gaudy.  All will do.

Color – lots of deep rich dynamic colors are in.  Burnt red-orange, Indigo blue, yellow, smokey grey, Jet black and more.  Color blocking is also creative and it’s back – different shades of color from the same family on the same skirt of blouse.Fall Fashion

Scarfs, swags, capes, crop sweaters are in. layer, Layer, LAYER:  Nice sweater fabric on the outside, silk or shim-ice blouse on the inside.  The more the merrier.

Skinny jeans and lots of leggings are still in.  The fancier the better.  The glitz and glamor ones are more dressy:  Like orange, gold, green, electric blue, army green and indigo denim.  These are very easy to do.  Buy a pair of plain leggings, go to the fabric store and pick up some accessories such as buttons, eyelets, lace, cords, diamonds and put them on the leggings.  A little bling goes a long way.

Bags and shoes – Tall fitted, riders style with buckles and zippers.  Brown and natural or black leather.  Different color shoes are in:  nude, shiny or patent leather black, purple, blue.  Rainbow colors are in, the more the better.  If you can’t swing the heels, just get something comfortable for you.

 

I know 🙂   Lots of options!!  Just go for it and pick the style that’s suitable for you!
