Just in case there are some of you that still have not gotten your wardrobe together for this fall/winter I have comprised a review for you. In fact, those of you late shoppers may make out better then the early shoppers because most stores are beginning to prep for the Spring .. Therefore, winter items will soon begin going on sell .( You know the fashion industry is always prepping way in advance for the next season.)
Okay so if I had to describe this season in one word it would be Retro . This season seems to be a melting pot of styles from the 80’s, early 90’s, 70 and 20’s . With this variety, fashion for this season is sure to be fun and exciting. There are bold colors, eye catching patterns and sleek and sexy shoes. So I hope to give you a feel for the looks of this season, and will hopefully get you eager to enhance your fabulousness.
Denim
Denim is going to be the most fun that it has been in decades because this year its about a variety of looks. There is going to be so much that you can do with denim. First lets start with skinny jeans. Skinny jeans were really big last year, and are going to be even bigger this year. This fall, skinny jeans are available high-waisted, in various colors, textures or patterns. They are a must have for this Fall because they look fabulous on just about every type of shape, especially curvy shapes.
Wide-leg jeans offer variety to a wardrobe. They are great for times when you want to look chic without much effort. They especially look great high-waisted in a dark colored denim.
Straight-leg jeans are a classic type of jean that will probably always be in season. Therefore, they are a great investment because you can count on being able to wear them next fall. They also look great on just about every type of shape.

Outerwear
Its all about the new revised pea coat. There is such a great variety of different cuts and patterns, such as tweed and wool. I must admit that it is very difficult to just pick one. I personally love the Houndstooth pattern and pea coats with a high collar. Another great thing is that you can find pea coats at a great bargain. However, this does take some bargain hunting.

If you are not into the pea coat style then you may prefer the puffer coat, which does not seem to ever go out of style. In fact, it gets better every winter!

Accessories
This fall its all about accessories that accentuate the outfit. Accessories should tastefully add to your masterpiece , not interfere with it. This means that if you are already wearing a bold outfit, you don’t have to put on several bold accessories. Subtleness can go along way, especially with an already fierce outfit. So, for this Fall be on the look out for bold colored tights, skinny or wide vintage inspired belts that come in bold hues in either suede, leather or patent . For the hat lovers, there are cute berets and beanies. For the daring , there are knee length footless tights, fingerless gloves and long elbow length gloves in bold colors. As for jewelry , the must haves are long necklaces with unique charms, colorful bangles, gold and silver bracelets, and exotic rings.
Bags
When it comes to bags this fall, its all about clutches and big bags in deep colors, such as teal, royal blue, purple, mustard or chocolate. Big bags are great for us college and commuting fashionistas because they make it possible to carry heavy textbooks. laptops and beauty products. Yet, you can still look fashionable. However, this does not necessarily mean that your bag should be bigger then your body. A medium to large size bag still looks just as great.

The clutch is another fabulous addition to a Fall wardrobe because they allow for versatility, and look great when dressed up or down.
