Fall: Opposites

I can't wait any longer to chat about Fall 2011, even if it is 90 degrees outside. My magazine and catalog tear-outs are building up in a pile on my desk, waiting patiently to be pinned to the ever expanding inspiration board. So, let the excitement of wool coats, new tights, darling hats and long sleeves begin!

Do you remember "Opposites Game?" We used to play it as children. Anything someone says, we would say the opposite. It was terribly annoying but filled us with endless giggles. Well, as adults we can play opposites again, but with our clothes. Fall is filled with silhouettes and styles that are the antithesis of each other. You can mix and match these trends, just make sure that your proportions are correct. Flaunt a modern grunge coat with a soft as silk gown or try colorful tights with that structured minimalist dress. Grown up games are so gratifying, and much less annoying. Enjoy!
