Here's MY take on Fall 2011 and remember just because it's a trend doesn't mean its cute (at all)
TREND #1-the "MIDI " skirt
It’s an A-Line skirt that hits at the most awful part of your calf... I say do a pencil skirt instead
or just stick to dresses - they are soooo easy.
TREND #2-"MAD MEN"
I'm not a fan of the 1960's look for women (or all the house work they had to do back then) but I am a fan of day drinking-so skip the unflattering dress made of a floral curtain and have a martini.
TREND #3-COLOR BLOCKING and MIXING PATTERNS
so a bright pink pair of pants with an orange sweater and a yellow blouse or a stripe skirt with a floral top-that is TRYING WAY TO HARD - like the J Crew catalog - are you really going to wear that many layers? I'd get a cute yellow bag or a great color blocked shoe and call it a day.
TREND #4-FUR
LOVE IT-I can't get enough. I totally get that people don't want real fur because it's mean so get faux fur (those are the same people who are wearing leather shoes and belts-
where did they come from the leather tree?)
TREND #5-LEATHER
LOVE IT MORE-I'm in the process of designing a leather line which should be out of manufacturing as soon as hell freezes over (and you thought that the Northfield Starbucks was SLOW...)
TREND #6-ANIMAL PRINT
What a shock-I've been doing this for 10 years and it’s been a trend every fall (and some Springs too)
so your investment here seems to be safe
(yet way over done)
My LOVES... wide leg trousers, sweater leggings or any leggings-wear them instead of wearing
workout clothes all day (pet peeve), my beloved Jane Tall Cuff boot from FRYE (buying another color this season) and capes-check out my new line of capes –
gotta have one.
I am done with -one shoulder anything, colored denim (don't please unless you are a
Victoria Secret model or if it's Halloween), jeggings (as my daughter's gym teacher calls them "jeanos")
