Fall Fashion Future

Even though it is still summer for another month or so and I am definitely not ready to see my favorite season end.....fall has definitely hit the stores. Though I haven't done my fall shopping yet (have to wait till some good sales start!) I have noticed some trends for Fall 2011.

1) Safari- animal prints (on everything from tops, bottoms, accessories, and shoes) , animal motifs (mostly elephants) , "adventure" clothes (cargo pockets, vests, etc.)

2) Polka Dots- such a cute fashion trend that seems to never be gone from the fashion scene for very long

3) Crochet- crochet everywhere: sweaters, trim on tops & dresses, scarves, etc.

4) Fall colors- LOTS of reds, oranges and golds.....just like the fall leaves

5) Jewelry- still seeing a lot of statement pieces- necklaces, earrings, etc. along with "rose gold" as the newest metal trend

I am sure that the fashion experts will tell you that these aren't the trends of the season but this is just what one very fashionable consumer (me!) has observed in the stores so far for the upcoming season. So everyone enjoy the rest of summer and we will see where the fall season takes us.
