Classic not Trendy
In this economy it's important to spend wisely on some classic and solid pieces which will not look dated in the months and years to come.
Bold Print Leggings for Plain Black Leggings
Show off your gams, and you favorite pair of shoes with boldly-patterned tights. A long top in a color matching the tights, paired with black shoes, and a pair of black nylon knee highs will complete your look.
Polished not Bedhead
For corporate days and fancy nights, pull your hair off your face a into neat ponytail. No longer just for bad hair days, a tightly drawn up-do, with all fly-aways smoothed down is a more serious look than tousled hair for this fall.
Covered Necks, Not Bare
Turtlenecks are a wardrobe staple in the cooler months, but they are not just for jeans and sneaker days. Wear a turtleneck with a long, ankle-length skirt, in the same color, a pair of white or glittery tights and pop on a comfortable pair of Two Lips Parker shoes.
Tiny Prints for the Rest
While bold prints are acceptable for two-tone outfits, fashionistas with a romantic flair will embrace the tiny prints making their way onto everything from striped pajama's to floral intimates, scarves, dresses and cardigans. Look for tiny flower prints of white and light blue on dark blue, or any white and blue striped top.
Subtle patterns and faded colors dominate this look, and it's okay to mix and match your patterns in the same color palette.
Goodbye Peep Toe
For casual wear, cover up those peeping toes and painted nails and wear a pair of bright blue or plum low heels.
Hello Cut Out, Hello Layers
The cut out clothing trend is perfectly acceptable for day wear or casual wear, as long as you remember that this time around, there should be a contrasting layer of fabric beneath. Pair a bright white shirt with a black cut out top for a bold effect.
