Purple, grey, pink and silver are at the top of the color charts this season, but not all aspiring fashionistas can get away with these color combos without breaking the office dress code. Fortunately, there are several ways to accentuate an otherwise simple outfit with Fall's top color choices, and all you need is a little creativity to sport some of the hottest looks for the season without pulling off a fashion 'don't.' Whether you're anxious to wear a pencil skirt or the oversized cardigan at the office this season, make sure you're choosing your key pieces in the following colors and styles:

The Grey Pencil Skirt
Pencil skirts are acceptable in most office environments and are a great match for Fall in either light grey, black or pewter. Pair the grey pencil skirt with a lavender blouse, purple cardigan or stick with the basic black top for a Fall-friendly look.

The Purple Vest
Purple is a top color choice for the Fall and winter season this year, so invest in some simple pieces in a deep purple or lavender color for an eye-catching, office friendly look. Purple knit vests can be coupled with a cream-colored blouse for a fresh look at the office.

The Pink Blouse
Pink with purple undertones is a hit for Fall and is a great match for an otherwise neutral office ensemble. Look for pink polka dot or printed blouses that you can wear under an oversized cardigan or wrap, or wear it tucked in with a pencil skirt for a chic and trendy look this season.

The All-Black Suit
The all-black suit is a staple of any Fall and winter wardrobe, and is one ensemble that will never go out of style. However, you can dress this up with the latest trends by wearing a contrasting v-neck purple shirt or sweater underneath the blazer, or wear it with a ruffled blouse for a fashion-forward, stylish look.

High-waist pencil skirts, ruffled blouses and knit vests are among the office wear must-haves for the Fall season. Invest in these key pieces to update your office wardrobe and show off some of the latest trends.

Somewhere to go and nothing new to wear... what's a girl to "shoes"? Jazz up a simple little black dress with a pair of colorful shoes in one of this season's brightest hues.

In seasons past, spring always represented corals, yellows, pinks and any other bright color in the color palette, while the darker shades were always left to fall. This year, we've seen every color down the runways, Cobalt Blue, Bright Orange, Fuchsia, whichever color you prefer, this fall season is anything but discriminating. The best way to make a fashion statement is to dress in a head to toe neutral hue and strap on a pair of bold bright stilettos.

We all remember Carrie's wedding in the Sex & The City movie (no not the big lavish one where she was stood up) but the simple wedding in city hall, with the "labeless" vintage white suit set and those stunning blue Blaniks. Re-create that same memorable look with a winter white romper and a pair of Cobalt blue sandals like Steve Madden's Taaboo or Trufle. These shoes make the ultimate stand out statement and feature a luxurious suede that's appropriate for the season.

If yellow is more your taste, opt for a pair like Report's Fillmore that look great against an all black ensemble. Michael Kors's Dauphin features a a platform and 4.5 heel for a daring look for the fashionably brave.

Shoes no longer compliment an outfit but rather complete them. Shoe designers are offering us everything from pumps to flats in a series of fun bright colors. So, the next time you feel like spicing up an outfit, take advantage of the latest trend and ditch the printed outfits and those overly eccentric embellished tops. The best styling tip of the season is to keep the basic outfit simple while drawing all the attention down to your beautiful feet.

As we head into the fall months, one classic style that remains for fall and winter is again making a big appearance on the runways. Tweed is a style that never goes out of fashion, but this fall and winter you will be seeing much more of the wool fabric.

When some people think of tweed, they think of the dowdy, matronly looks of several years ago. Tweed clothing has gotten an update and it can be sexy, sophisticated and elegant. No longer are you only given options of brown or grey tweed, but we are seeing more and more colors such as purple, pink, and blue.

You can wear this runway fashion trend several different ways. The most common way to wear tweed is with your outerwear. Picture a fitted tweed pea coat or blazer for this fall or winter. Another trendy way to wear this style is with a tweed dress or skirt. Instead of going for the basic brown herringbone pattern, look for a purple or pink color. For a great work outfit, pair a fitted blouse with a pair of tweed trousers for the ultimate in sophistication.

There are also several tweed accessories that can make an outfit. A tweed hat added to a t-shirt and pair of jeans can add some drama to an outfit, while tweed shoes can add some effect to a plain dress. Other accessories to look for are handbags and scarves.

The great thing about this runway fashion trend is that it is a classic style that will still be around next fall and winter. This is a reason why you should be willing to invest some money into your tweed pieces. Knowing that you can wear them for years to come, makes it worth it since you will be able to look great for years down the road. Look for well-structured pieces that are made of quality wool and that will last. Also, there is nothing more tacky when it comes to imitation tweed. Just don't go there!

Even though summer season is in full swing, Fall is only a few months away which means it will soon be time to freshen up the office fashion closet. While you can get away with tailored capri pants and pencil skirts for a few weeks of Fall, the season's top styles include fitted blazers and suits, crisp poplin shirts and wide-leg black pants. Are you ready for a fresh new season? Here are some of the top Fall 2009 must-haves for any office maven:

The Purple Blouse
Purple is at the top of the color charts for Fall 2009, which means you can dress up any grey pantsuit or black skirt with a touch of color. Stick with the darker shades of purple to create a rich, luxury-inspired look, and balance it out with a set of pearls or simple silver jewelry for a complete polished ensemble.

The Grey Pantsuit
All shades of grey are in this season, and you can ditch the all-black pantsuit this year for a lighter, grey version instead. Look for tweed and simple knit basics for your grey suit of the season, and pair it with a stark white blouse and a long string of pearls for a modern and sophisticated look.

The Red Cardigan
Bright red is another hot pick for the Fall 2009 fashion season, and you can add some color and a stylish twist to a pair of black pants or a simple skirt with a bright red cardigan. Pair this with a white shirt or blouse for the complete look.

Wide-Leg Pants
Straight-cut, wide-leg black pants are an office essential for Fall, and these versatile pants can be worn with all of Fall's hottest colors. Wear these with a super-skinny heel for a chic and modern look.

The Patent Leather Handbag
Glossy patent leather handbags and briefcases return for another season, so if you still don't have one of these office essentials yet, 'tis the season to get one! The glossy patent leather handbag exudes sophistication and style, and you can find a variety of designs suitable for even the busiest office professional. Look for totes with hidden organization features such as extra pockets, dividers and compartments if you need to take along a netbook and other electronics along on your daily route.

Booties are back again for this fall and are definitely a staple to have in your 2009 fall wardrobe. If you recall booties (mini-boots) made a big appearance in the fashion runways last year and were all the rage with celebrities and fashion trendsetters. It appears that booties are not going anywhere anytime soon, but the booties for this fall and winter are all about the details.

A big fashion runway trend with booties was the addition of chains. A couple layers of chains running across the front of the shoe adds some dramatic appeal to the footwear. Another detail that was seen on the runways was the use of buckles on booties. Even though these buckles served no actual purpose, they added a great fashion design to the shoes and gave them more personality.

Following this fashion trend is really not that difficult. You can easily find yourself a killer pair of booties that can get you through all of fall and winter. If you really want to spice your wardrobe up, pick a pair with chains or a buckle detail. Booties come in all different colors and materials. They can be suede, leather, or even wool. If you want to stick to the basics, then you can't go wrong with a black or dark brown leather or suede pair.

Booties can be worn with several different outfits. Despite what you may think, it is a popular fashion trend to wear booties with skirts, preferably shorter ones. You can even add some tights or leggings under the skirt as well if you really want to go all out with the trend. If you would like to keep your fashion sense a little calmer, pair a cute pair of booties with a pair of bootleg jeans or tuck a pair of skinny jeans into them. You can wear the shoes to the office, to the park, or for a date night. They are truly a transitional piece that can be worn with just about anything.

I don't see booties going anywhere and can definitely see them lasting through 2010.

Airport Frump to Airport Trump
Be comfortable and chic while flying this summer. Trade in sneakers for comfortable and stylish sandals that let your feet breathe. Save the sweatpants for the gym and don a pair of shiny leggings and over-sized t-shirt. Wear a blazer or cardigan to keep you warm in flight, or to roll up and use as a pillow.

Watercolors, Not Waterproof
Trade in the day's bathing suit for a watercolor print dress, to go frolicking on the town with your sun glow. Watercolor print dresses look like they were lifted from Claude Monet, Matisse and Georgia O'Keeffe. This whimsical swirl of a dress could have been lifted from a Raoul Dufy canvas. Iris blues, fuchsias and teal flower print dresses and and skirts make a flirty statement.

Overdone to Undone
The best looks right now and going into fall are simple. A crisp white shirt, denim bottoms and a pair of black shoes is all you need. Consider an over-sized men's shirt and denim shorts.

Pre-Fall, Not Summer

Leg Warmers
You just got comfy in your shorts and sandals, but are you ready for the pre-fall season? Legs are your best accessory for the pre-fall season and leg warmers, tight, like leggings, will help you transition from summer to fall this year.

Hand-less Gloves
Cover arms in the same way with wrist to elbow gloves, and consider Kim Kardashian's one-glove wearing ensemble a tribute to the late Michael Jackson, and not the start of a trend. Stick with the same color as the leg warmers, although a different fabric and texture is encouraged. Wear the leg warmers and hand-less gloves together with your favorite short skirt outfit.

One Awesome Pair of Jeans, not Five
One pair of awesome jeans can get you through the rest of summer and into fall. Want the cropped look but love your boot leg or slightly flared jeans? Cuff them up the same way Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Alba do. When the weather cools, roll those cuffs back down.
