Okay, it's Fall, so naturally, I'm broke. And, honestly who isn't these days? Paying for higher education, health insurance, food, pet food, and well, let's be real, we're all familiar with the words, "Bills, Bills, Bills!"
Being on a responsible and reformed kick, I no longer swipe to burn plastic-- with the state of the economy, the job market, and the stock market plunges, I cannot and will not go to the realm of "charge, and worry about it when you get the statement." So, while I still do shed a tear, when I see a must-have Chanel bag or Nanette Lepore cocktail dress, I have gradually gotten over my haute-couture shopping addiction.
Things I Love:
I love the whole steam-punk look, if done in moderation. These railroad conductor, chunky heel wedges are really cute, even if I'm not crazy about the wood heel (I would definitely change to black) to give it an edgier look. Think Edward Scissorhands meets Lydia Deetz; Jeffrey Campbell had the right idea, and the best part is that these Regis Wedge (Engineer Ophelia Platforms) are ON SALE! They we're originally priced at $158.00, now they're marked down to $99.95. Saving $60, not bad on these classic shoes, but if you're like me, something like a wooden (off-color) heel is enough to dim your love down to like.
Okay, here's another great and versatile tunic, the color is perfect for fall, and it's ideal for layering (the sides are crocheted, so you would probably want to go with a cami or tank (mustard yellow, gold, or chocolate/mocha brown), you can even play with sheer, metallic henleys or wear it as a dress with burgundy leggings (or tights), paired with a high-platform wedge-style shoe. I am not crazy about the hat with this outfit (as shown), but with tights, and the right shoes, would create more space, and allow for a better distribution of weight for a more balanced look. It's accessory overload. Just wear one dramatic accessory. You don't need ten. It's overkill.
This crocheted halter tunic, is a great buy because it's so versatile, and was made for layering. It's marked down to $19.95, and was originally, $88.00, so it's seriously a steal. It comes in two colors: Copper (above), and Charcoal (medium-light grey). Personally, I definitely prefer the copper one, since it has more mixing, color blending options. Plus, the Copper version really picks up on this season's color trends: bold, vibrant solid hues. Plus, it's all about high- impact, bigger, rawer and riskier jewelry and accessories this Fall. Being a shoe, scarf, handbag, and accessory whore, I would definitely play it simple, and spice up your personal style with really probably the most diverse range (styles) of accessories this year: from soft and romantic to bold and abstract, the options are virtually endless.
