Fall 2012 Runway to Everyday Trends Translations!

Happy Hump Day Everyone! Hooray! The weekend is almost here!

                It’s getting colder at night, the days are shorter, its pretty clear that Fall is coming! I even unpacked my sweaters last night, I don’t know about y’all but I am ready for boots, cardi’s and sweater dresses!! Take a look at my Fall 2012 trend translations, because we all know the runway looks cool, but who gets to really wear it?

1. Red - Red is supposedly the hottest color this fall, any shade! So make sure you stock up with a number of pieces, the good thing about a red piece is that it’s perfect as the focus for an outfit. Here are some red tops worthy of the spotlight:

2. Gold- Gold is set to be a hot color this season, this can be a hard look to pull off, stick to muted gold for daytime or go all out and shine at night!

One-Shoulder Sequin Dress by Calvin Klein $178	Sequin one shoulder dress at Dillards.com $58	Sequin Dress by City Triangles $40

3. Velvet- OK, I had a face on when I read this, but then I saw the green Gucci velvet dress that’s been going around the internet anddd its kinda grown on me. I think these are some cute velvet fashions that won’t remind you of a terrible prom bomb, plus side velvet is thick like corduroy, perfect for Fall and Winter

4. Bold Geometric Patterns- Matching top and bottom geometric patterns are all over the runway, again, I made a face, but it takes some translating from runway to everyday. I think these patterned outfits are stylish, flattering and fashion forward.

7. Leather-Leather is always a good look for shoes, coats, but do you own a leather dress yet? To avoid looking like a biker babe (unless that’s your thing) I like to choose leather styles that are still feminine and girly even in a tough fabric.

8. Peplums- These aren’t the peplums from the 80’s… or are they? Well no, they aren’t. Alittle shorter, more structured, peplums are really making a comeback this year. A lot of people are scared of them because it makes your hips look big, but remember big hips equals little waist, and everyone can see your just peplumming! (copyrighting that)
