Fall Trend: Florals

Considering that yesterday was the first day of fall, I think it is appropriate to launch a series of posts highlighting the key trends this season. Starting with-

Fall Florals: 
Strong throughout the fall selection is a variety of beautiful floral and art prints. Find these pieces of art shining on dresses, blouses, skirts, coats and even handbags. There is an impressionistic feel to both of these motifs, which gives them a feminine summery feel. .

How to wear it:
-Transition summery pieces by adding opaque tights, chunky knits, slim jackets and boots in ankle or knee lengths.
-Consider layering a filmy frock over a fine gauge wool turtleneck for an eclectic look that is subtle and sophisticated.
-Mix things up by pairing florals with tweeds and plaids for a unique personal style statement
-Fall brings flowers to necklaces, earrings, even shoes and bags. Wear them against solid pieces where they can shine.

-Strong eye? Yes. Dark lip? Sure. Big hair? No.
-Accessories should be stark and graphic, try a solid clutch or square tote.

Don’t:
Wear jewelry. It is liable to be a distraction with the plethora of prints swirling. However, do choose a good, substantial shoe.

    Ick, those are down-right ugly. But, I guess that’s a matter of opinion. lol

    Yea, it’s a bit much for me as well, I won’t be venturing into the florals- but I’m sure someone else would love it…

    so all the more power to them!

    What styles are good for each body type? My Grandma who is an apple shape can wear bold flowery prints on the top but my mom who is classified as “curvy” can’t. Is there a general rule of thumb?

    I love the middle picture, the fuchsia dress!
    great tips, btw!

    Dear Jessica:
    One should always dress first and foremost for their body type. All of the trends will not work on all of the body types all of the time. (whew…confusing)

    Curvy girls should stick to smaller prints, too big and it will just make you look bigger. Also, opt for florals with more curved designs, paisleys etc.
