Now that the summer's hot humid weather is fading, its time to turn our attention toward the fashion trends that are popping up in stores around the country. Here is a quick look at what's popular this fall/winter, with the exception of bird embroidered shirts and those over-the-top 80's sweater/sweater dresses, which are both popular, but I just don't know how I feel about them. I hope you enjoy these great looks, as well as my recommendations for pairing jewelry!

Fall Fashion Look 2: Themed Garments
Every season we see some degree of themed fashion, but this year designers went to extremes, and they are delightful! Here are the top 4 themes:
- 1960's - The 60's are back with fun Mod designs and micro dresses.
- Western - Western chic is alive in bold black and whites, muted monochromatic colors schemes, and muted pastels.
- Gothic - Take the best part of Gothic, a fierce design and elevate it to run way perfection this fall!
- Mythical - Take your boho-chic to the next level with fantasy inspired mythical designs.
Jewelry Suggestions - Keep it simple. Try some basic mixed metal stackable rings, like the rings pictured here, in contrasting colors to finish your look without distracting from the theme.
