Hiya!
It’s fall ya’ll! Or at least according to the calendar it is. The thermometer is reading differently!
Now that it is “officially” fall it may be time to start taking a peek at your fall wardrobe and fill in some items that are missing or need to be replaced. One good way to update your wardrobe is by updating your accessories. I’m an accessory girl! Accessories can make or break the outfit. Plus changing up and updating your accessories does not need to cost a fortune. Or at least maybe not as much as buying a bunch of new clothes to update your wardrobe for fall. As Michael Kors says “I’ve always thought of accessories as the exclamation point of a woman’s outfit.” I couldn’t agree more!
So what is trending this fall in accessories? Depending on who or what you read, here are just a few I am personally going to embrace. And most of them are already in my closet!
Seeing how I am a jewelry artist, and the fact jewelry is one of my favorite accessories along with shoes, I of course looked to what was trending with jewelry. While dainty, barely there necklaces and earrings have been staples for quite some time, and in my opinion will continue to be, sturdier, more industrial styles are becoming increasingly popular. As a jewelry designer this is great news! My designs are mostly “big,” with an avant-garde, architectural, industrial feel, and look.
Shoes are probably my favorite of favorites when it comes to accessories. I love heels! This fall hot pink is taking over as the must-own bold heel color. I won’t even have to look for a new pair. I already have 2 pair in my closet.
Even though I would buy these!
I’m finding since I have moved from Houston, TX to Hillsborough, NC I am definitely wearing a whole lot more sneakers. In large it is due to the fact that I no longer live in a concrete jungle with smooth pavement and not a whole lot walking! Over the past few seasons chunky sneakers have dominated.
But this fall sleeker styles and retro lines have made a comeback. Sneakers paired with rolled cuff jeans will always be a sporty, chic look. Sneakers are quite chic and fashionable worn with a skirt or dress too!
Do you have a favorite foot attire? I do! That would be boots. It don’t much matter the type, knee high, ankle, rain, hiking, booties, mid-calf, I love them all! At last count I own 40 + pair. Yes, I admit, I am a shoeaholic! I thought maybe I would invest in a pair of square toe boots that are the “it” style for fall, only to discover I already own a really cool pair.
If you are a big bag kind of gal, you are already on trend for fall. Large bags are in for fall in a huge way. Their size alone makes them a statement piece. Time to ditch your little bag and opt instead for a large statement piece bag.
These are just a few fall fashion trends. Just because these are considered what is “in” right now does not mean you have to go out and purchase every single item mentioned. Or for that matter you may not purchase any of them. Fashion is fickle! What is in yesterday is so old news today. What is important, is that you develop your sense of style, and then own it!
Until next time,
ENJOY!!
