Speaking of FALL...we are almost in one of the most interesting fashion seasons of the year! But before I introduce you to some lovely fall fashions, I have to get on my little soap box for two seconds. I was introduced today to the wonderful marvel that is Pinterest.com. You really need to check it out if you haven't already. But in a nutshell, it's a place where you can collect images and ideas from all over the internet and keep them "pinned" on your collection of bulletin boards. It is basically a breeding ground for creativity so of course I'm all over that. Anyway, I created a board for fashions that I adore so I was trying to find images to pin onto it. I came across a website that had Pretty Little Liars inspired fashion ideas, which I pinned to my fashion board.

But it was on this website that I became somewhat clued into the fall fashion scene for this year. Not that I agree completely with what they are saying, but I thought it would be fun to clue you all in too and commentate while I'm at it.
So, the first thing that this website mentions is the colors that are in style for this season. Among them are taupe, deep plum, silver, dark teal....and mustard yellow. Okay, so some of these aren't so bad. I love me some dark teal quite often actually, but there is just never a time and place for an overload of taupe and mustard yellow. I think those can be great colors as accents and for small pieces in your wardrobe or even for accessories, but for heaven's sake (and mine) please do not buy a mustard yellow trench coat.
Bleh. School bus is the only thing that comes to mind...
Then I clicked on another article about the actual fashion styles. Apparently the things that are so "in" this fall are camo print, peplum silhouettes, plaid and polka dots, colored pants and chunky sweaters. The peplum silhouettes are, in my opinion, the only thing that is really going to fly in the progression of fashion. The others are either so overused (plaid/polka dots), so 2001 (camo print), or so obnoxious (colored pants). I must say though that I am looking forward to buying a cute chunky sweater, because let's be honest. It get's really cold here and I need every excuse I can get to bundle up and stay warm and if that excuse so happens to be that collegefashion.net said it was in style this fall, then so be it.
I especially like the blue and green ones and even the TAUPE one on the bottom left...shocking, I know.
