So, I told myself that I was going to try to wait until the week was over to do a blog post, but clearly that's not what's happening here. There are so many wonderful clothes coming out on the runway for Fall 2012, that I just have to share some of my favorites!
If there's any commonality among the clothing from this season, I would have to say that many of the looks seem to be inspired by the professional woman's look that pervaded office buildings nationwide from the late 1970s to present day. The looks are classic and the fabrics are luxe adding a bit of soul to formerly lifeless and monotone looks. All Images Courtesy of vogue.com
With this 1920s inspired maroon ruched dress from Tory Burch, I can almost hear the music playing from Gatsby's backyard. The form fitting ensemble is accentuated with elbow length leather gloves and spectator t-strap pumps.
This fall coat from Victoria Beckham's collection in taupe is gorgeous. The combination of patent leather detailing and military detailing in the shoulders and button work makes this coat a winner in my book.
This look from Thakoon's RTW collection is fully of color and texture. It's a little bit 1960s mod with the incorporation of hot pink and orange color blocking in the skirt, but the exaggerated bagged waist line makes gives this ensemble an otherworldly look.
Here Tory Burch pairs a burgundy textured leather trench coat with 70s inspired plaid slacks. Together with loafer pumps and a floral chain link bag for a pop of color, the look is perfect for a Sunday stroll in the park.
Soo, if you can't tell by now, I LOVE coats. This gray wrap coat from Carolina Herrera is accentuated with a distinct belt and dresses up any outfit.
Journey Smollett is seen here in an airy butterfly print dress. She's paired it with pewter leather clutch and soft gold peep toe pumps. This is a perfect day into night for the warmer spring months.
Selita Ebanks is seen here strolling the streets of New York. She sports a chic bob haircut, tan trench coat, leopard print clutch and snake skin stiletto pumps. By incorporating pieces and accessories from the same color family, she has successfully combined two animal prints.
When someone says "sweat pant material" I'm sure that it brings to mind visions of college students studying in libraries for their midterms. But, this material is no longer the bain of the fashion world's existence. Designers are now smartly incorporating soft knit cotton into a myriad of chic pieces for the fall. This is great for students like me that want to be comfortable, but prefer not to look as though I should be in the gym or brushing my teeth for bed. (I know! I'm abnormal for preferring to dress up while lounging around campus, but hey it's a lot more fun!)
This hooded french terry jacket from Forever21 combines comfort with style. The terrycloth material is comfortable enough for an all nighter in the library, while the constructed look of the jacket makes it formal enough for you to wear to your meeting with your professor.
These army jeggings sold by American Eagle have the strechiness of a pair of sweatpants without actually being a pair of sweatpants.
