Falling for the Trends

By:  Ashley Tucci, Guest Blogger and Mrs. Cumberland County for Mrs. Maine 2012

The long, hot days of summer are (sadly) over and being replaced with shorter, crisper days of fall.  The coming of each new season brings multiple trends that can leave many fashion-forward women drooling – and penniless.

The good news is this season’s trends and styles are a fit for everyone – it’s all about how you wear them.  Here is how to make a fashion statement no matter your destination or your budget. 

Headed out for a lunch date with friends?  Add a punch of color.  This season, red is making a bold statement.  Replace your skinny jeans with the colored variety or adorn your feet with a wedge bootie.  Red not your most flattering shade?  Try royal blue, purple or bright green.

Trying to land your next big client?  Wow them in a form-fitting midi wrap dress.  This season’s must-have length in a classic cut that’s ultra feminine and flattering on just about everyone.

Have a night out on the town?  Try adding some texture to your ensemble in the form of a (faux) fur vest or a sheer tie neck blouse.

My advice on shopping for this season is to think before you buy.  Ask yourself: am I going to wear this, where am I going to wear this and does it fit within my budget.  Happy shopping!
