Fall Fashion for Back to School

I keep hearing about jeggings, jeggings, jeggings!! And, I'll have to admit- while I HATE the name, they are pretty awesome. They're about as versatile as the more "traditional" leggings, but they're more substantial.

These juicy couture jeggings are great, but if they're out of your budget don't be TOO upset. The word got out FAST, so you're likely to find them at any department store, as well as AE, PacSun, Aero, ect.

Jegging Tip: Opt for a jegging with pockets. Pockets are one of the benefits to wearing jeggings as opposed to leggings, so don't miss out.

Of course, if you want to REALLY be a fashion star when you walk into school this September, I suggest Levi's new Curve IDs. They're hush-hush enough that they're still exclusive to the Levi's stores, but people are starting to talk, so get them while they're still new. They may be a little bit more pricey, but they're SO worth it!!

More about Curve IDs: Each traditional size is now seperated further into three distinct "shapes." SLIGHT for women who's jeans generally fit at the seat, but are too tight in the waist, DEMI for women who's jeans fit but don't flatter, and BOLD for women who usually have a little too much wiggle room at the waist.

After jeans, cardigans are probably my favorite item of clothing. They're incredibly versatile and always fashionable. Those three-quarter length cardigans you wore last spring will transfer perfectly to fall. I love dark colors with ruffles like the cute one on the right for those days when you feel bloated, because it has a great slimming effect.

And the boyfriend trend is still strong. My suggestion for the fall: keep your eye out for extra long or oversized, longsleeved cardigans with large buttons, like the one on the left. A good place to start looking- Urban Outfitters. They'll go great with your jeggings ^_~

Plaid came up LAST fall and it has proven season after season to hold strong. So, if you've got any plaid from last year whip 'em out again! Money's hard to come by these days, after all. If you can recycle old clothes then by all means, do it.

My favorite use of plaid: plaid dresses!!! They're cute, casual, and just the right amount of feminine

Military/surplus. This might be my favorite new-er trend and though it popped up here and there this past spring and summer it fits much better with the fall season.

The fall/winter staple: An army/olive green military jacket like this one (up top) from Anne Taylor Loft.
