Hello, Fall

Welcome back, baby.  My closet and I missed you! After much deliberation, here are the season's top 10 trends worth jumping up and down about it. Yes, happy dance. Style on.

STYLINGSTAGE suggests:

#1: FLARE LEG JEANS/WIDE LEG TROUSERS:
Style it: a tucked in blouse, tall stacked heel boots and a chill vibe. It’s all about the 70s.  Right on for the extra inches!
"Transcend - Bell Canyon" Flares, Paige Demin:




















#2: Y-NECKLACES AND LEATHER STRAP WATCHES:

Style it: the necklace with a pretty knit sweater or v-neck t-shirt and bottom of your choosing. The watch with a dainty cuff and any unserious outfit.
La Boheme Rose Gold/Black face Watch, Cluse:














Incognito Y-chain Necklace, BaubbleBar:



















#3: BUCKET BAGS:

Style it: your weekend outfit of black jeans, t-shirt and blazer or sweatshirt dress w/ booties. Burgundy is big now but black still rules. It’s small, so just the basics.
Mini Bucket Bag, Rebecca Minkoff:











#4: POINTY TOE FLATS:

Style it: seeing the foot it key. Opt for a casual day dress or shorts/sweater and ear climbers to show your hip factor. Croc, patent, lace-up, cutout, you decide.
"Finest" Pointy Toe Ghillie Flat, Topshop:












#5: LONG VESTS:

Style it: go for menswear or raw edge and pair with skinny or girlfriend jeans, short sleeve tunic, booties and some arm party.  Make sure length doesn’t exceed mid-thigh.
Raw Edge Long Vest, Trouve:




















#6: CULOTTES:

Style it: go for a solid color and pair with a turtleneck, tall knee boot or classic pump and studs. It’s a toughie to pull off but looks chic when done right.
Faux Leather Culotte, Zara:




















#7: FRINGE:

Style it: any outfit you want to mix up. Go for a neutral-colored suede.  If rodeo isn’t your thing, opt for a crossover bag or short booties.
Juneau Booties, Dolce Vita:














#8: SOFT TRENCH/DUSTER COAT:
Style it: with anything! A great layering piece for all body types. Try a warm color in suede to break up the usual.
Gideon Soft Trench, Club Monaco:




















#9: ROUND SUNGLASSES:

Style it: swap them for your oversized or wayfarer rims for a fresh, updated look. Again, goes with anything.
50mm Round Sunglasses, Ray-Ban:




















#10: DARK ROMANCE:

Style it: think lace and dark florals. Dresses usually do these textures/prints justice. Pair with deep red lip/nails and neutral lace-up heels. 
Printed Dress Black, Zara:



Until we meet again!
