It seems that each season there are a gajillion new trends. For fall 2008 I’ve chosen ten of the ones that I like best, so start stocking up! (And remember that although I love them, these are just examples of the trend I’m recommending.)
- The ‘Statement’ necklace; store your dainty chains for another season.
- Chunky knits. Even though I’m in SoCal, I’m usually able to eek out a few days in January for these.
- Tall, flat boots. Motorcycle boots are also hot, so I’ve chosen a style that combines the looks.
- Oversized bags - STILL. I happen to love big bags since I can throw all the kid’s stuff in with mine.
- Stilettos! The higher the better and combined with a platform, they’re a sexy replacement for your summer wedges.
- Plaid. I’m not really a huge fan but hey - all things in moderation.
- Lace and it’s EVERYWHERE; dresses, pants, shoes, bags, tights…lace accessories are an easy and inexpensive way to update your look.
- Bow tie blouses, but choose carefully - you want to avoid looking like a librarian.
- Full, calf length skirts can be cozy and chic with some bold tights, not to mention the perfect venue for your new boots!
- Camel, black and berry tones (Especially berry at night - go for bright!)
