Translating The Fall Trends

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I've been feeling pretty under the weather this week. But while I was getting my rest in my comfy bed, I was tabbing through the recent Instyle magazine and had a thought...Not everyone feels like they can pull off the fall trends the way the runway suggests. So, here's my take on how to translate a trend through the use of accessories...

Trend: Leopard/Animal Print - Every season we see a few prints that become popular trends. This season animal prints popped up all over the runway. My suggestion is to take a simple black dress that you might wear to work and update it by adding animal print accessories. Here are some examples...

Betsey Johnson heart stud earrings

Kashmere Leopard Scarf

Echo Leopard Ruana - Five Hearts

Tory Burch Leopard Belt

Sondra Roberts Leopard Chain Bag - Five Hearts

Trend: Fur/Shearling - This clothing trend can become bulky as well as expensive to wear. By adding the trend through your accessories, you can buy a few pieces to update your wardrobe rather than one major piece.

Trend: Sequins - Sequins were one of my favorite trends to see this season...Evident through the numerous styles I bought for the store(whoopsy)! Personally, I see them sticking around.  But if you're not interested in making too bold of a statement then some of these accessories might be a better option for you.

Leather - Leather is really here to stay but a leather jacket isn't always for everyone. Here's some other options you could go with...

I've always been a believer in using trends as inspiration for updating my look each season.  I don't follow them too literally but rather add them into my wardrobe in a way that represents my style best. Have fun with the trends and make them your own!
