Seemingly out of nowhere I've become a woman who now likes, no loves frocks. It's always been about separates for me, but this summer I wore dresses more often than not and really enjoyed it. So, I guess it was time for me to change it up - love having fewer pieces to coordinate to achieve that pulled together look. Erica M Blumenthal's article in the Times highlights several eye-catching styles for Fall; just add a statement shoe, boot or bag and you're done!
When exploring the fashion looks of each season I always find it helpful knowing what's new or trending. No need for an entirely new wardrobe of course, but perking up what you already own with an on-trend piece or two keeps your look current with minimum effort.
It's mid-August and high time for me to start thinking about Fall/Winter clothing as most collections are now in stores. After taking a quick whip through Style.com to see whose collections I'm interested in, my first port-of-call is Bergdorf's. It's my favorite store in New York because it carries just about all the designers I'm interested in and although edited from what's shown on the runway, there's always a broad enough selection for me to understand the collection and choose from. In recent seasons I've been focusing on finding a special piece or two that adds to my closet and keeps my look current.
