Fall Trends: Feathers

Hope you had an amazing Labor Day. In case you didn't make to the mall over the weekend, let me bring you up to speed on all the fall trends to look forward to.

1. Feathers: Feathers are appearing on necklaces, earrings, hair pieces, and tee shirts. Here are two feather pieces that I particular like.
A soft colored feather necklace, like this one from American Eagle, adds something special to those solid white tops you usually stock up on. A solid color sweater, thermal, v-neck, or turtle neck won't look plain with a feather necklace.


Tops with feathers printed across the neckline don't require any accessories. But, I love that this tunic boasts a skinny belt with feather detail. This top is modern, casual, and figure-flattering--perfect for school or spending time with friends. Check out lovemode.com for colorful feather tops and feather necklaces.








2. Colors: This fall's favorite color for tops and coats is red, a rich rusty red. (Check out my polyvore set on fall reds.) Boots are coming in more camel, taupe, and whiskey hues. Last year I started to stray away from black boots and began to love grey, but it looks like these warm neutrals are taking the spotlight.

3. Body Con Skirts: These hip-hugging mini skirts aren't just for summer. Most body con skirts are made of a thick knit fabric that's perfect for winter, just add leggings/ stockings underneath and top the took off with an over sized sweater. Body con skirts also look flirty-casual with tight tops and long, lightweight cardigans. (More outfit of the day posts are on the way!)

Wear printed skirts, like gojane's sublimation elastic skirt in teal, with large knit tops and long statement necklace for day. When the sun sets, cinch your waist with an earth-tone belt and boost your bust in a bustier top.

Strictly casual, throw your most comfortable layering tanks, or tees, and a cardigan over this sultry stripped skirt. Layer a long and shorter length necklace to give the look a touch of your personality. Outfits that feature a lot of basics also look great with rings, so dazzle your fingers with all your favorite rings to finish the look.
