It's hard to believe it in this stifling heat, but Fall is just around the corner. To prepare for this season (which is my fav) I'm breaking down the trends - Petite-style.
I Love
Yves Klein Blue

I absolutely adore this colour. If I could wear it every moment of every day I definitely would.
But that would be weird, so I won't.
I love that it's a bright jewel tone, the perfect pop of colour for a bleak fall day or even in the dead of winter, when you're trudging through a snowstorm - who could hate that when you're wearing such a gorgeous, upbeat, sophisticated colour?! Not me, that's for sure.
Polka Dots

I've never met a dot I didn't like. So, you'll imagine my delight when I saw that it was one of the trends for fall. Classic, clean with a hint of fun, this is a print that I can never get sick of - best of all, polka dots look amazing in pretty much any colour combination.
I Like
Graphic Tartan

Ah, tartan... brings me back to my youth, growing up on the West Coast, where all they play on the radio is Pearl Jam and Nirvana - seriously, they still think "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is the greatest song ever, but I digress.
The tartan pieces that walked the runways are definitely not your '90s plaid. They are a class above. They are the perfect mix of feminine with just the right amount of edge. I can imagine pairing this trend with anything from pumps to combat boots, or snow boots given the day.
Mid-Calf Skirts

Although this hemline can at times be very unfortunate on a petite, I still really like it. There's something extremely ladylike about these looks... and isn't it all about the ankle right now anyways?!
Brightly coloured pants

Of all the trends, this one scares me the most, but also intrigues me. I always admire other people who can pull of the bright pants look, but I never have the courage to do so myself. But who knows, maybe this is the season... if I can find some in that Yves Klein blue.
So there you have it. The trends I'm loving and liking for Fall 2011.
What are your favourite trends for fall?
I love royal blue- it adds such a great pop of colour! I also love traditional autumn colours like burnt orange, olive green and tan!
ReplyDeleteI have to say this is the season I am most excited about - the trends and colours are fantastic. I can't wait, even though it means the cold is soon coming.
