Fall Picks

My 14 year old neice called me today and asked if I could take her to the mall. It's the last weekend before the new school year starts and homegirl is facing her first year of highschool so you know she got to be fly. Tyra and the girls on ANTM ain't got nothing on the models that will be stepping off the big cheese, and stomping the yard on the first day of school. The three major components on the first day of school for us ladies will always be hair, outfit, and shoes. This day sets the fashion bar for the rest of the school year. Boy do I remember the days, while I was never the flyest chick in school,(it takes $$$ to earn that title), I was definetly stylish. I come from a long line clothes and shoe freaks so I've got style seeping from my pores. After talking to my neice I started thinking about pieces to add to my wardrobe for this Fall and here are just a few of my picks. I love textures, fabrics, and classic pieces that I can carry over to another fashion season. Check out these butter soft leather gloves I choose the red and the blue pair. Wide leg jeans have made a comeback and this pair of wide leg round pocket Joe Jeans remind of Thelma from GoodTimes, I've gotta have these. I've always loved polka dots so this ruffled lapel dotted wrap top with its wide side sash tie is not only cute as a button but also has an instant slimming effect to the midsection. Justin isn't the only one bringing sexy back this Royal drape back sweater is just the top I need to go with my knee length purple leather boots with a sexy pair of slim fitted jeans, that look will definetly have people talking behind my back. Next up is a great looking heather gray tunic length drape neck sweater with roll button sleeves and sweatshirt pockets, this will look great over a pair of leggings the 80's are back! Coats are the rave this season and I so want this double breasted mock neck trench. Berry tones are in this season and this suede and patent peep toe pump will look great with jeans, dress slacks, or even a dress you just can't go wrong with these. There's nothing like a crisp white collared shirt, this mid thigh length top puts a nice spin on the classic staple, with its slightly puffed sleeves, detailed bodice and cinch waist. We love anything that slims the waistline. Finally I told you the 80's are back I'm going to an 80's themed party next weekend and everyone is wearing 80's gear. Shell toe Addidas were where it was at. I'm thinking I'll rock the label out with my Addidas jogging pants a tee-shirt and these new styled shelltoes with a thick gold rope and a Kangol.Jam Master J this ones for you RIP!!! So whats on your Fall shopping list?
