Autumn Fashion Preview, Fall is looking up!
Some seasons, I hate the fashions designers shove down our collective throats. Remember a few years ago, when everyone’s midriff was exposed? I don’t have a bad middle section. I do work out. But I don’t want to look like Brittney Spears Barbie, while hustling the kids off to school with my belly hanging out on a cold day in November. I despised that style.
Then there were the various episodes of the opposite extremes. What I can only gently term, “maternity wear for all occasions style” (baby doll tops capable of hiding a 10 month baby belly) which fashion designers proclaimed the “in” look. (Unless you were a teen or truly pregnant, these styles were on my “ick” list, too). Thankfully this year, we’ve got a few decent choices.
Baby doll tops are still alive and well, but not as loose. They are more streamlined and actually are a viable choice for real women. Jeans are darker, more traditional in cut and comfortable (without worrying about posturing so pieces of midriff or backsides aren’t hanging out). Plaid shirts tossed over a cami, are a welcome casual look for any female. Purple and shades of rich plum abound. You might actually like shopping this year.
Take a gander at the newest fall styles, and nab some savings while you’re at it, thanks to Gap and Macy’s.
