Easy Updates for Your Fall Wardrobe

Now that I have almost fully recovered from my birthday, which was fabulous by the way — fun party, fun friends, oodles of goodies, including this scrumptuous bag from dad and mom, or momZ as we now refer to her (apparently some sort of mid-life/rapper/gangsta crisis which we won't even go into at this point); anyhoo, at least she has (thankfully!) retained her innate sense of style. But I digress…where was I? Oh yes, recovery. As I was saying, now that I have begun to functionally deal with the erstwhile transition deeper into my twirties, I have taken this opportunity to reflect upon my life. And by reflect I mean take a critical and unbiased look at, and by my life I mean my closet.

Ergo, I have spent the past two weeks rifling through my extensive collection of stylish suits, classy coats, drop-dead dresses, flirty skirts, killer denim and terrific tops, weeding out the unnecessary, the unflattering, the superfluous and the occasional what-was-I-thinking. Which has left me with a very organized although somewhat barren closet, with more than a few fashion holes to be filled.

I have the essentials covered, since I always buy top quality basics such as blazers, blouses and the ubiquitous lbd in classic and timeless styles that will carry from one season into another, so my current fashion search is focused on updating the classics that currently reside in my closet.

Winter Neutrals. Remember when your grandma would tell you that you should never wear white after Labor Day? Well, that fashion advice has gone by the wayside, along with "never wear black to a wedding" and "only tramps wear open-toe shoes". I do, however, love the look of warmer neutrals during the fall and winter. Shades from cream and bone to camel and ecru all add a bit more warmth to an ensemble than basic white. You can even add a little neutral spice with saffron, caramel, cinnamon, earthy brown and deep chocolate hues.

Turtlenecks and Buttondown Shirts. Not only is this a very classy look for fall, but it is also sensible as well! A very stylish way to keep warm. Keep the turtleneck sleek — a lightweight cashmere or silk works especially well. As for the blouse, a crisp white cotton is the way to go. This ensemble makes a great office look when worn with a tweed skirt, tights and sleek booties, or is equally chic as a casual style when worn with jeans and boots.

Classic Denim. It goes without saying that every season demands new denim. I mean, denim is the staple of most women's wardrobes after all. But denim is a fickle creature, no? One season it's all about the skinnies, then next thing you know slouchy boyfriend jeans are all the rage. So what's a stylish girl with her eye on her checkbook to do? Stick with the classics darlings! Classic bootcut jeans are always in style, and can be worn with absolutely anything and everything. And the best thing is that all of the denim designers know this, which is why you can always find classic bootcut jeans. Just choose the brand that best fits and flatters your figure. It's worth it to spend an afternoon at a department store like Bloomies, Nordies or Saks, trying on jeans from every designer and taking notes on what fits and flatters you best. That way you are armed with the correct sizes, styles, fits and washes and can take advantage of the fabulous online sales, designer discount sites, and designer sales sites when your favorites go on sale!

Velvet. In the famous words of George Costanza, "I would drape myself in velvet if it were socially acceptable." Well darlings, not only is velvet socially acceptable, but it is all the rage this season and I am all over this trend. Although I must advise against completely draping oneself in velvet (too much of a good thing and all that.) One exquisite piece is all you need. A great pair of velvet trousers topped by a silky blouse, or perhaps a pair of indigo jeans, a white blouse and a classic velvet blazer. My pick for the season: this gorgeous velvet dress, which I will pair with sassy gator stamped heels for one hot evening look. If velvet isn't your thing, apparel-wise, take baby steps with a great velvet and bead necklace, or an elegant velvet bag.

Black & Winter White. You know how it is, there are those days when you think you just don't have a thing to wear. This is where a great ensemble in classic black and white (or winter white!) will fulfill your fashionista fantasies while allowing you to retain your chic style. This season I am going for a bold effect with this gorgeous cowl-neck dress in a soft creme, paired with opaque black tights, a pair of gorgeous black suede wedges and cinched at the waist with a sleek black belt. Accessorize with a bold bracelet and something fun to till in the cowl neckline. Finish with a great handbag and you've got one haute look!

Well darling girls, that's should get your wardrobe off and running in style (we'll tackle footwear another time because that's an entire newsletter in itself!) Happy fall shopping girls!
