What's Your Fall Style?
POSTED BY melissavest, Aug 26, 2008 AT 12:59 pm
I'm just curious, what's your fall style? Do you prefer fitted pencil skirts and wrap sweaters, paired with a stacked heel, to complete a very pulled together and chic style? Or do you like to throw on a pair of flared trousers, a chunky sweater, and some boots to carry you through the season? Share your favorite fall fashions, your inspirations....
I adore both of these outfits for the fall. I would love to entertain the idea of going to the office every day in the first outfit, but I just don't know I am always up for that. So, I'll keep some more casual clothes in my closet too. One thing I know for sure is that I'm going to invest in some opaque tights from We Love Colors. They have every color under the sun, and I think it's the cutest way to add a pop of color in the fall. Plus they come in an array of sizes too. That means they're perfect for everyone!

Black and Blue

I've always thought that black and blue together was somewhat of a fashion sin, but I truly think that fashion rules are meant to be broken. (Especially if they can look this chic!) I really love this combo of a steel colored blue, with black. It's quite sophisticated, and since this dress is only $29.80 you can afford to get some great accessories to go with it.

How Do You Feel About Uggs?

Let's hear your official opinions on Uggs? Do you love to hate them, or are you a convert to their super comfy style?
I happen to own a couple of pairs, and I love to pair them with jeans in the fall and winter to get around town in. I know I know, they're not neccessarily the prettiest things on the planet (However, they ARE soft!). I was recently taking a look at their site and I was happy to see some quite stylish pairs that have been added. I'm a big fan of some of their new boots and love the tweed flats. This way I can have the comfiness, with perhaps just a little more style!

Banana Republic Sweaters and Coupon Code

I don't know if it's such a wise fashion move to buy all of your fall sweaters from one place, but I'm so in love with every single one of these sweaters from Banana Republic that I might just have to break down and get at least a couple. I'm really liking the sweater jackets because they have such great button detailing. I also like the new short sleeve sweater styles, they're in most of the magazines this season.

Why settle for a boring watch, when you can have one that has all the fun? I love all of these funky watches, they are perfect if you want to add a pop of color to your outfit. At under $100 you can afford to have one or two... I like the idea of wearing one of these on the weekend with a bright tee and some worn in jeans.  (Would some Converse be too much?) :-)
