Fall means boots, even to those who do not consider themselves experts on fashion. This fall, over the knee boots, ankle booties, lace up boots, and wedge boots are the must have boots. With over the knee boots, a major plus is to have a pair that is convertible, meaning they can be worn over the knee, or folded or pushed down and worn lower. Pair over the knee boots with dresses hitting the mid thigh such as Free People's Velvet Foliage Dress or Kimchi Blue Strapless Sweetheart Dress found at Urban Outfitters and a bomber jacket. Also, try pairing over the knee boots or pairing booties with thigh high socks -another trend this fall- with a skirt such as the Pins and Needles Circle Skirt and a structured blouse.
"Go modest with high necklines and granny-chic, loose-fitting dresses.
Tone down the color palette and focus on layers of textured fabrics like lace and pleated silk under a heavy wool coat.
Look for jewelry that resembles a well loved flea-market treasure- nothing shiny and no bling." -marie claire, November 2010
Other fall trends include faux fur, chunky sweaters, leather jackets in fall hues (plum, tawny, olive, brown), oxfords *flat and heeled*, crossbody leather purses-especially a Vintage Coach Crossbody (pictured right), cuffed skinny jeans, high-waisted skinny jeans (cigarette pants), cords, bouncy mini-dresses, peekaboo zippers, anoraks, and military and majorette jackets. When shopping, always invest in higher quality materials. Avoid fake leather, unless you are vegan, and anything mostly polyester, as these "fake" material do not allow evaporation of sweat and cause body odor. It is much better to invest in a quality item than to buy several items with a nice style, but cheap material.
Live by this rule: Quality Over Quantity.
