Bottoms Up

Fall is my favorite season. I love the softer light and cooler temperatures. And of course, the sensational fashions. This season it’s an evolution of previous trends. You’ll see some new twists and some old friends, all done in fabrics to keep you warm and glamorous.

In a Kay Thompson moment, pencil skirts have returned to fashion. I toppled over once trying to get on a bus in a mid calf version, so check your range of movement before purchasing. Just below the knee is flattering and comfortable.

There is always something so refreshingly “We’re going to do this my way, thank you very much” about menswear inspired trousers for women. Look for a fuller leg in tweed this season.

Tights are an easy and inexpensive way to update your wardrobe. Patterns a big trend right now and you can pull them in with a pair of stockings. Wear them with skirts and dresses you already own for instant “fall 08″ style.
