5 Key Trends for Fall 2007
Fall Must Have Items for the Fall/Winter 2007 Season:
A Structured Jacket
A really great structured jacket is the defining piece in your fall wardrobe. Not only is it a necessity for the coming month's weather, but it will also be pulling your entire look together. Find a jacket with a cut that really flatters your shape, so that you can wear over blouses for your work day, and over a sexy shirt for evening. This is the piece of your wardrobe that others will see most, so make sure that fabulously cut jacket couples with a comfortable fit.

The Sweater Dress
It just doesn't get any easier to dress for fall than throwing on a cozy sweater dress. It is almost easier for me to reach for my cashmere blend sweater dress and warm leggings when getting comfortable, rather than sweatpants and a t-shirt. There are tons of selection out there, so grab different styles in various colors. Throw on a pair of tights and flats, knee high boots or booties, a scarf, and you're good to go!

Plaids
There's something about this time of year that brings out my inner school girl. Plaids are sophisticated and smart. And luckily, plaid is everywhere: jackets, coats, blouses, dresses and head-wear. Just one piece in your outfit will turn on the prep, and give others something to think about.

Leg Wear
Tights and leggings are the new jeans. Fall calls for something a little more grown up than your standard jeans and trousers routine. There are so many stockings or leggings to choose from. Cable knits, metallic, opaque, crochet, stripes....would you like me to go on? A darling dress, black tights and heels will elongate any leg. Yes, girls under 5'9 included! And the longer the legging, the leggier you will appear.

Booties
Booties.....my favorite trend for fall. There is just nothing sexier than the bootie, in any sense of the word!. Worn over a pair of stockings, leggings, with skinny jeans or a dress, you just can not go wrong. No one will second guess a girl wearing a fierce pair of booties. Wearing them takes a girl with some attitude, so show some courage and grab a pair, or two! There are some really beautiful booties out there!
