Fall Collection

So, thanks to being a student in the fashion department at school, I am surrounded by FASHION. Whether it's learning how a trend cycle (for any product, not just fashion) works, how to set up a visual for a big name department store, or just discussing a favorite designer with the people around me. Because of this, and because I finally cleaned my room the other night, I came to realize that I need to come up with a focus for my fall/winter wardrobe. Will I be buying a ton of new clothes? Absolutely not! I have no room! But I do need to find something worth channeling.
Thanks to it being fall/winter, I'm wondering if I should go the androgynous/ gamin route. You know the Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face type of look , allowing me to wear my skinny jeans and structured tops with big sweatshirts without looking to mommy-ish.

Or, Should I go the route of "Dolly-Kei" as it's called, and do the more feminine, girly, layered look. I just can't make up my mind.

Then it got me thinking, why not mix it together and do the ballet routine? Could be fun... I just don't know.

Because of my indecision I decided to do something smart for once and did research. Say WHAT!?!?
As always, Ralph Lauren delivered with this awesome gypsy look that brought the two aforementioned looks together with brilliant ease.

D&G usually makes me smile, but sadly left me hanging this time around. At least the "Scandinavian ski lodge" with belted sweater dresses was delightful.




Marc Jacobs did not impress, Chanel reminded me of Yetis, Betsy Johnson, while fun, was not entirely wearable...
I'm rather depressed by the line up. The designers I look at have a certain piece-y, classic, romantic feel to them. I just wasn't feeling the romance this season. Heck, I'm ready to call it quits and ask for a miracle sex change so I can just wear men's suits. No really. No matter what, a good suit always looks AMAZING. I love the suits we sell over at Express, they have a rogue-ish sophistication about them.

But before I can wish on a shooting star Christian Dior reminds me why I enjoy being a girl:
