Fall Trends


This fall, it is hard for me to choose which new trend makes me happiest. I am always giddy when it comes to fall. New school year, new chances, new start etc. BUT, there is one little detail that cannot go unnoticed, and that's fall fashion!! I love fall season's clothes the best by far. Earthy comfortable clothes with just a bit more sophistication to them then the Short Short Mayhem that is summer. So, as I'm inspecting the Internet for major fall trends this year, what is my favourite? And, just as important, my least favourite?

Stylebakery.com calls the colour purple this season's 'go-to' colour. That in itself made me grin. I absolutely love purple, and I'm excited that there'll be more of it around.

I've also noticed, just by browsing through racks of clothing in my local mall, (despite my not-so-full pockets), that there are a lot of different layering pieces then before. Cute puffy vests, t-shirts over long sleeves, eclectic accessories. That made me almost as happy as ankle booties! {Though, admittedly, I can't see myself buying them, they are sure fun to look at, and cute as all heck!}.

So, now that I've clarified my favorite trends for this fall, there is one which I simply cannot participate in. Now, I'm okay with print. I have a frilly black tank top with wide straps and colorful floral print on the neckline. But, that top (which was an impulse buy, and I do love it) only has the huge flowery print on the neckline, and it's not extreme. This season, however, there seems to be a lot of dresses that are nothing but large, colourful, florals. Ew. Now, is it just me, or have we been strongly opposed to large floral patterns covering our entire bodies since about 1991? Albeit this being mostly against pants, I don't think this season's floral print dresses are much better. Honestly. They're...weird. This Purple and Gold Dress is anything but my favorite, and the gold in it looks almost like an icky brownish color when the shadows hit it.
