READY OR NOT-HERE IT COMES!!!
By Cheri Soltis
Okay girls it?that time again whether you?ready or not, look out because here school comes! Auuugggghhhhh!!! Now that we have that out of our systems we can look ahead to the best thing about going back to school, shopping! So for your reading pleasure I have gathered some of the hottest trends for fall that will keep you looking fly until summer vacation starts again.
There are so many awesome ideas for clothing this fall so I going to try and cut the list down to just the bare necessities to start the school year. I know everyone remembers the Britney Spears baby One More Time video, and it turns out Britney was way ahead with this school girl look because this fall you are going to want to own a cute lil plaid skirt of your own. Then you could rock that look with a 3 fourth length sleeve white button down shirt and some thigh-high black leather boots. In any case, at least get the skirt. Other cute plaid items include berets, scarves, and shirts with a little bit of plaid trim on the collar and the cuff of the sleeves.
The next trend is going to just explode this fall and winter. Yes, its true animal prints are everywhere from shirts to jewelry. Leopard, tiger, zebra, and snakeskin look so cool in tight pants and short skirts. You may even want to go daring and buy some snakeskin boots! But a word of caution, never wear an entire ensemble of animal prints. If you wear the leopard skirt, dont wear the leopard shirt, and never ever mix your prints. Zebra and tiger so do not match. Jump on this trend this fall and winter because by next summer its going to be extinct.
Almost along the same lines as the animal prints is a trend that going to become like second skin to you: leather pants. Nothing looks cooler or more New Yorkish than some black leather pants. They go with virtually everything and when you see yourself strutting around in those pants you?be saying, man, I look good! and so will everyone else. A good fashion and good self-esteem builder all in one! You cant go wrong with these badboys!
In a general sense, you want to buy clothing in bright colors. Burnt orange, cranberry, corals, and dark green are popping up everywhere as the staples for fall and winter. Now the pastels of last year can still work too, but when you are in need of a color fix you are going to want to rock some of these eye-catching hues.
Now, onto accessories. Shoes, a girl best friend, well next to diamonds anyway. The shoes from this season have taken on many colors and forms. Shoes with cut outs & bows were seen in many of the fall fashion shows. Shoes with no back, like mules, or sling backs will replace the clunky shoes of last season. Also the heels and shapes are very sculpted and still very comfortable. Animal print shoes will be very cool as long as it not an overkill of material and classic patent leather becomes even more popular this season. Oh, and a good pair of leather boots can take you from class to the club so never underestimate their power!
As for jewelry, the cute rhinestone tattoos of summer can still be used in a clubbing or party setting so don?ack those up yet. Animal print, surprise surprise, shows up in cuffs and pony tail holders. As for the age-old debate of silver or gold, good news! You can rock either one this year. It is all about freedom of choice, baby!
Well, I hope this info helped all of you with your back to school shopping, and remember always wear what you?comfortable in. Good luck with classes, and hey, follow these tips and at least you will get an A for style!
