Chic and Fabulosity: Fall Trends

With fall fast approaching, I'm sure you lovely ladies are wondering what the trends will be. Well, I've got them for you! [Courtesy of MSNBC that is!]

1. PLAID

Plaid is going to be the print of the season! [Please don't think catholic school girl skirt plaid, that is NOT the look we are going for! :P ] Pencil skirts are just one of example of how you can go plaid this fall.

2. Layering

In my opinion, layering will NEVER go out of style, so it is great to always have your key pieces for layering. And they don't have to be expensive. Get you some white and black tee's and tanks. Add whatever kind of shirts over it you want. A [color] such as a red will always look great with black or white. Or if you want to brave it up, get another bright fun color, such as yellow. Bright colored layering spruces up any outfit!

3. Shape shifters

Most outerwear pieces you see this fall will be full and flowy. They give your body type a different shape, hence the name. They look great paired with skinny jeans. The bubble skirt is an example of this as well. However, don't invest alot of money into a "bubble" piece, it is not a trend that here to stay too much longer. I personally don't love this trend, but hey, to each his own!

4. Sweaters

Sweaters are definitely making the come back this fall. I personally love the sweater look. I have already invested in a few sweater dresses for fall. You can dress up a sweater dress with leggings and/or boots. Another good example of a chic sweater piece is a cardigan. Such places like Old Navy, Charlotte Rusee, Forever 21, Torrid, etc. all have fun cardigans for girls of all sizes.

5. Boy meets girl

Menswear inspired looks are a must for the many business women in this world. Now, designers are starting to make a more feminine, chic look for those women. More designers are making curve hugging blazers, chic accessories, and pleated shirts, so that women can look more stylish when going to the work place. Now, this look is not just for business women. It's for any woman who wants to look clean cut and presentable, but in a casual kind of way. Pairing a curve hugging blazer with jeans look fab!
