Here’s a few more things to look for when you are planning your fall wardrobe:

Long Leather Gloves – I know here in Orange County, that we don’t need gloves, but if you find yourself in a cold city this fall, invest in a pair of long leather gloves.  Find a pair of opera length leather gloves and pair them with shorter sleeved jackets and coats.  You’ll be stylish and warm!

Piped Blazers – We’re bringing preppy back this fall with the return of the piped blazer.  They are instant classics with contrasting trim that can be worn over a solid dress, with jeans, or dress pants.  This blazer will add just the right amount of oomph.

Camel Time – There is nothing classier than a beautiful camel wool coat, fantastic bag, or great pair of loafers.  This fall update your camel pieces and pair them with almost anything…especially the leopard prints I mention below.

Fall Fashion Preview for Orange County Women

Posted in Fall Fashion, baby boomer, baby boomer fashion, baby boomer women, fashion at 8:40 am07 by erinstafford

In case you haven’t noticed, while we’re outside sunning ourselves on the beach or by the pool, the stores are now filled with fall merchandise.  Wool skirts, coats, tights, long sleeves, they’re everywhere you look.  Although you couldn’t possibly think of wearing them right now during the heat, this is a great time to buy for fall, as you have the widest variety of sizes and styles.

Here’s what to look for this fall.

Hot shades of purple and pink – find yourself a great statement clutch, a pair of shoes, a couple bangles, or a loud scarf in either of these eye popping colors.  Save the head to toe look for the kids, but embrace these bold colors through your accessories to stay modern and on trend.

Cobalt blue is back! – It was in a couple years ago, and is making a come back this fall.  As this is an easier color to wear than the hot pinks and purples I mentioned above, you can indulge yourself a little more.  Find a great cobalt wrap dress or a wonderful winter wool skirt.  You’ll be turning heads in no time.

Add a splash of leopard! – Although many other animal prints are on the market, leopard is the classic.  Add a dash of leopard print in a belt, a great pair of heals, or an amazing scarf.  Pair these accessories with all black or all white for a truly classic yet modern look.  A little leopard goes a long way, so keep it in your accessories.
