Hi folks! Miss me much? How is everyone? You don't write or call...teehee just kidding.
Did you get your kids off to their first-day-of-school yesterday (well it was yesterday for me)? I'm sure you have completed all your back to school shopping which is why its time to focus on ourselves for a bit (rare I know...).
That being said, its Fashion Week here in New York so we are going to spend a little 'she-time' on tips for getting our wardrobe Fierce Fall ready for less with the help of our guest blogger, and image curator Monica Barnett from Blueprint for Style. Check out her post below and let her know what you think. Thanks Monica!
Fall Fashion With the Trend, Without the Cost

Fall Fashion With the Trend, Without the Cost
Chic doesn't always mean pricey and chic most certainly doesn't mean "lots". Chic is about choice - making a decision to look and thus feel, a certain way. I continually remind my clients & readers of my style blog, Blueprint for Style that style is about choosing wisely and being intentional.
There's no better time to test your fashion discipline and know-how than fall -- September marks the biggest month for fashion and for many, the biggest spending month in terms of closet acquisitions. What's hot this fall?

o
The color NAVY
o
Peplums
o
Prints (try mixing it up)
o
The color WINE
o
Menswear-inspired suiting
o
Pants
o
Pointy toe heels
You can get caught up in any/all of these trends pretty easily. Who doesn't love the ultra-fem peplum that creates shape for those without, and highlights curves for those already well-endowed. I took a few pieces and here's what you'll LOVE about this look:
o
It's reasonably priced
o
It takes advantage of a few of the current trends
o
The look plays nicely with other items you already own
o
The color goes wonderfully with your standard black but just as beautifully with your camels (from last fall season), and this season's navy
o
The look offers options to go from desk to date, and work to weekend
o
It downplays the mid-section concern many of us may have
o
Anything you choose creates instant polish and achieves an "effortlessly chic" look
o
The pieces can appeal to the most sassy or even the more conservative among us
Even without "mom" status this is fun, versatile, pulled together, easy & chic, and on-trend without going to far -- problems solved!
