How to Wear

You're all up to date on this seasons it items, trends and have the Visa ready for action. One problem...how on earth are you supposed to pull of this stuff?
I, personally, like wide-leg trousers. They're comfy and stylish (my favorite combination) but, how can you wear them? I say go for a hard core leather jacket. It evens out the look so that you don't look like you have too much going on on the bottom and not enough on top.
One of fall's new looks is polished. Wonderful! I've seen to many people try to go over the top, bigger is not always better. This look is all about beige, light brown, camel and mocha, all very warm colors. To make ti work try adding in some more gold, gray and other muted colors to make it polished not boring.
The military look is all about muddy greens, grays and blacks. It's also all about layers. To make this work add in some leopard print. It spices up the outfit and it's a great way to wear fall's trend of leopard print without looking cheap.
Parts to the military look include pencil skirts, jackets and cargo pants. Cargo pants are hard to wear to I say add some heels. It really can take cargo to the next level.
The school girl look is also coming back. To make sure that no one actually thinks you're a school girl (even if you are) wear something school girl, a skirt or sweater, with something a little chunkier or risky.
The one thing that I know I will be picking up is a trench coat for fall. It's an excellent fashion staple and, alas, I must admit to not having one. I highly recommend it.

Fall Wardrobes

It's that time of year again! Although I personally am hurrying to finish work for AP classes and preparing for my senior year of high school, I'm not talking about school. When I walk into a store I see the September issue of every magazine around me. They're practically novels. My issue of ELLE is 562 pages.
Fall, aka the New Year of fashion, is right around the corner. The fashion world is buzzing with the seasons new trends. What trends you say? Lucky for you I have the answers.
If there is one thing I have scene it's leopard print. I've seen sweaters, pencil skirts, jackets, min dresses, just about everything! This pattern is bold but pulled off right works wonders. As Patti Stanger, the Millionaire Matchmaker of Bravo, says "Men cannot resist animal print."
Also the school girl look is coming back. If your school requires a uniform you're in luck. Those pleated skirts, sweater vests and penny loafers are coming back. As well as the hemlines going down. Finally! After seasons of skirts that I would be afraid to wear without shorts underneath we are going down. The pencil skirt is getting a chance to shine.
As I gaze into my crystal fashion ball I see tunics! And lots of them. I love tunics because they work wonderfully with tights, jeans, and leggings. There is nothing I love more than getting a million looks from one tunic.
Frilly lace is the perfect way to create a feminine look this fall. Personally I find that white is good for day and night,a good soft look but for extra drama at night opt. for black lace. It really makes a statement.
But I caution you with this new style of showing lingerie. Personally I feel that my bra goes under my shirt for a reason. However if you are feeling riskay then be my guest. But remember, slutty is not the same a stylish. You want to show a little not the whole shabang.
I assure you that there will be more to come. After all it's still only August and I am sure that more trends will pop up. TTFN :)
