Well, a couple of months ago I asked how people were wearing liquid leather leggings. Since I didn’t get the trend, I wanted to see how others were embracing it. I’m happy to say, you have had some very good ideas. It basically breaks down like this:

In your 20’s: The girls in their twenties are wearing them with fluid tops and chunky heels. For the most part, this age group is wearing them at night. There were some who live in a big city that are wearing them in the day with a more casual top. Overall, this age group is dressing them down a bit and try to balance out the glimmer and shine.

In your 30’s: The girls in their thirties have been giving the leggings a more sophisticated party girl look. Pairing them with sequin tops or a top in a bold color.

In your 40’s: At first I didn’t believe women in their forties were sporting the trend, until someone sent me a picture of Victoria Beckham wearing a pair. Victoria is only 34, but her outfit is a good example of how someone in their late thirties - early forties should wear the trend. I must say, she did it well. She added a classy feel to a funky pair of leggings by pairing them with a fitted blazer. She also added upscale elegance by carrying a Birkin bag, and a pair of Christian Louboutins.

While this isn’t a trend I think I’ll be wearing, I can appreciate how the look will work for others. Thank you for sharing your ideas with me.

We usually associate Fall with colors like brown, red, green, and deep yellow. This year we’re seeing shades of purple appear in Fall collections across the board. A color that was once associated with royalty, wealth, and power is now to be worn by woman everywhere. It’s commonly thought that people who embrace the color purple are creative, eccentric, independent, and mysterious. This intriguing color brings sophistication to our usual measure of fall colors. It works beautifully with grays, blacks, and denim. It’s a quick way to update your wardrobe for the season, without having to spend a fortune. Try to work at least one piece of purple into your story this season, even if it’s only a scarf. Be a bit mysterious, and let out your inner royal. Let the majestic color work magic on you!

Have you met her? The girl who has the entire room watching her as she walks past. The one who has the power to stop you dead in your tracks. She has a confidence that makes others uneasy at first, but also an illuminating warmth that holds you close. She explores and appreciates all forms of art. She embraces individuality, and finds joy in expressing creativity. This freedom of expression comes across in they way she presents herself to the world, it comes across in her style choices. Bohemian style is no longer about peasant skirts, Birkenstocks, and unshaved armpits. It’s about mixing it up, and making fashion your own. It’s not predictable, and the fact that it doesn’t work makes it even more fantastic. It’s an intriguing style, that draws us in. She’s different, she feels the freedom to take risks in fashion, and own it. That… is what fashion icons are made of.
