Adopting Fall Trends

When new fashion trends emerge, I typically choose one or two that I’m interested in trying.  Of course, they have to work for my body type & suit my own personal taste.  Some things I absolutely love (flared leg jeans) and others I can do without (feather hair extensions).  So now that we are looking towards fall, I’ve identified the items I want to incorporate into my wardrobe.  And I’ve chosen my favorite style-crush to serve as an example (does she ever get it wrong?):

Bow-Front Blouse

This comes as no surprise since I’ve previously professed my love for these (and already purchased a couple).  I love the way Olivia Palermo styled hers with wide-leg trousers and simple accessories.  And although this may be viewed as a more sophisticated look, you could easily wear it untucked with skinny jeans, boots & a cropped jacket for a fresh, modern approach. 

Lace-Up Booties
The ultimate in versatility – they work just as well to balance out a sweet dress as they do with a casual denim/slouchy sweater combination.  They’re comfortable & more supportive than a basic pump, making them a perfect choice for the cold weather that’s coming.  Choose some in a soft neutral color that will be easy to pair with pieces you already own.

    Olivia Palermo always nails it! I can definitely see you in the boy front blouse, and you are right, you can make it as sophisticated or as casual as you like!

    I adore booties! And I have to admit, I did the hair extension thing for about a month. I really did love it. That is until every girl in my town got them. That was my cue to take mine out.

    Gah, I totally agree – Olivia can do no wrong in the fashion world! I am big on lace up booties for this fall too! So cute!

    Asos.com has some great affordable options for the bow-front blouses and I've recently discovered Urbanog.com for low-priced trendy footwear (you can also check DSW). Hope that helps!
