Let’s Talk Fall Fashion Trends

Enough about politics and pregnancy, let’s talk fall trends. I have a tad bit of insight into this from my job co-hosting The Fashion Team on the TV Guide channel.

The Blouse To Have
With a bow or ruffle, it’s lady-like, sophisticated, and can be worn with jeans or a skirt. This blouse is part of the continued trend away from the big A-lines of last year, although on a fat day I loved those big lines.

Jewel Tones
Purple, magenta – have fun with color, saturated color. It is all about solids.

Bushy Brows
Every year there are a few trends I cannot partake in. This is one of them. I hate old pictures of me before I plucked. It may still work for Brooke Shields, but not for me.


Short Boot Shoe

Season two for these monsters. I am not a fan. Thankfully, my faves, the ballet flat, are still in.

Clothes I Can’t Give Up

Hey, I need your help with this. I was going through my daughter’s closet and I’m wondering what I should do with the clothes she has grown out of. It’s very hard for me to let them go. It might not be logical to keep them, but I imagine years from now when I’m an old lady living by myself–well, maybe with a cat–that I will be clutching Vivien’s baby clothes. Smelling them and thinking of when she was my little, bitty girl. And hoping she comes to visit…or calls? Would it kill her to call her mom once in a while? Oh, I’m getting ahead of myself. Do other people have a hard time letting the baby clothes go?
