You don’t need to spend a ton of money every season; just buy a few key updated pieces. For instance, if you don’t have any animal prints in your wardrobe, you can perhaps buy some cheetah print accessories or shoes to add an updated punch to your jeans, skirts or slacks.
An important update for fall 2011 is the re-emergence of fur and faux fur in women’s clothing. You’ll see plenty of it in stores very soon. Be very careful how you wear this as fur adds bulk and you should be conscious of where you add bulk!
Tuxedos and tuxedo-inspired clothing is strong this season as well. You can be bold and go for the whole look or perhaps just buy a great tuxedo jacket. In any event, make sure to make it feminine by adding a soft blouse, lace top or pretty shoes!
For accessories, the news this fall is solid jewelry; choker necklaces and cuff bracelets. Metals in all colors that are clean, simple, minimalist and modernist.
I love to take what’s new and make it my own by adding it to pieces from my existing wardrobe that look good on me. This makes it much more wearable. Take this advice and you’ll soon be branching out and taking more chances with fashion. Don’t be afraid to do something new and remember to have fun!
The choice is always yours, make it a good one!
