The seasons are changing once again, driving women to their closets to assess their readiness for the coming weather, and quickly henceforth to their favorite retailers to fill in the clothing gaps. In the spirit of "back to school," whether they are students or not, autumn is the perfect time to tap into the atmosphere of new beginnings and reassess fashion's direction as well as personal style.
This quickly approaching autumn, fashion is falling hard for laid-back, earthy, boho-chic looks with a neutral, 70's-inspired color pallete. Fashion is in the mood for delving deeper into the art of texture-mixing, a trend started this past summer.
If you're in the mood for some wardrobe-reinventing, some key pieces this autumn are dolman tops, cozy striped sweaters, and patterned scarves. Combine or simply purchase these three pieces with 70's tones such as olive green, peach, skin tone, white, cream, navy, dusty rose, or gray.
Some of the easiest ways to adapt this autumn is accessorization. It will be hard to over-accessorize this season! Explore footwear-- menswear-esque shoes, oxfords, and vintage, suede ankle-boots are the upcoming "it" shoes. Resist the urge to be matchy-matchy; try a Native American-inspired piece (hair accessory or earrings) and an animal-pendant necklace.
Try adding a touch of turqoise to stand out from the neutral colors. Spring for bright eyeshadow or a turqoise stone bracelet. The color is refreshing in light of the coming winter months!
Good luck, and don't shy away from taking a fashion-risk!
