I love summer….like really, really, love summer.  I never want it to end….I want sun dresses, and gladiator sandals, and cropped tank tops to last forever.  Reality is that I live in the Northeast, and fall is lurking at my doorstep.  I can already feel a change in the air.  While the days and bright, warm and sunny, the evening temperatures are on a steady decline.  So while I am going to hold onto my summer wardrobe as long as I possibly can, I know its time to start working some of these trends into my wardrobe.

Flares

That’s right.  The 70’s are back, and better than even.   Give your boyfriend jeans a break and start wearing flares!  Pair them with birkenstocks or clogs for a super easy going retro feel.

Late up Pointed Toe Flats

These easy and wearable shoes look great with skirts, shorts and culotets.  Get your hands on a pair as soon as possible, and get as much wear out of them as you can!

Statement Earrings

Really, bling in general is in, but earrings top the list.  So find yourself a great big pair that take your breath away for a moment and wear them every chance you get  If earring’s aren’t really up your ally, consider a broach or another form of statement jewelry!

Functional Black Boot

Last year’s brutal winter seemed to influence some of the shoe trends this year!  I am loving this jodpher boot style.  Not only is it functional, but its so cute with a pair of skinny or boyfriend jeans!

Pleated Skirts

Longer hemlines, and narrow pleats let these skirts accentuates your curve with out looking over the top.  Besides, its almost as fun to shake it in these skirts as it is fringed skirts! On that note, fringe is still in as well, so please, continue to shake it in that as well!  Really want to follow the fashion trends? Try carwash pleats!

The Skinny Scarf

Its a new take on those big, bright prints.  These skinny scarves look fresh, and cool, and update your look instantly
