Black, Brown and Gray

blog shoot 2_07web

This fall you can expect to see an unusual amount of gray, brown and black. It seems that muted color palettes and neutrals are the colors of choice this season. Maybe a pop of oxblood here and there and definitely pops of navy mixed with black, but other than that you won't see too many bright colors.

In the past autumn seasons we've seen a lot of gem tones and sequins. I don't think they will be completely out of stores by any means, but the more fashion forward palettes will be simple. Fashion always has a way of turning 180 degrees from what has been popular.

This outfit features the cropped sweater trend I talked about yesterday and the simple fall color palette. Polkadots and stripes always go together in my book, so I really enjoy this fun pairing with my striped Agnes and Dora pencil skirt.

Styling Harem Pants

blog shoot 2_02web

Every once in awhile a fashion trend comes along that I laugh at, and a year later I find myself wearing. Overalls and harem pants are two trends that took me a year to embrace, but now love. Rompers and jumpsuits on the other hand...I couldn't get enough right away.

The drop crotch of harem pants isn't that attractive. In fact, men hate and will always hate harem pants. But you guys, they are SOOOOOO comfortable and are far more stylish than sweatpants. Who cares what men think? I dress for myself!

Agnes & Dora make SUPER cute harem pants in all different patterns for moms and kids. I love the mom and kiddo combo, and I also like that you can wear these pants with a simple t-shirt and heels and look super fashion forward. I added statement necklace from 31 Bits and a bracelet. I thought the tribal quality of the jewelry complemented the pattern of the pants.

I would rock this outfit for a ladies' night out, First Friday art walk or to the mall.  But, if you don't have the confidence to rock these pants in public you can wear them in the comfort of your home.
