1. The Floral Dress. No longer relegated to spring or summer, a wispy floral dress now segues beautifully into autumn. Wear a thing layer under it and a cozy knight over it for a cool look. Be sure to match the sweater to a color in the batter.
2. Olive Cargos. Celebs such as Victoria Beckham are ready for active duty. They are comfy and easy to wear as denim, working equally well day or night. Dress them up with a black blazer and platforms for a stellar evening look.
3. Fur Vest. The new it item looks upscale but is totally accessible. Faux fur is almsot as woarm and light at the real thing, and it makes everything in your outfit a little more luxe. Layer and throw on with jeans.
4. Animal Print Cardigan. Prints can be worn as well with solids. Be sure to choose a bold print that doesn't clash but instead adds contrast.
5. Full Skirt. Don't fear a flared skirt, the season's freshest silhoutette. Pair it with a body-skimming silk blouse to offset the fullness and lend a relaxed air to the equation. Tie on a belt to define your waist.
Mix and match key pieces for the upcoming fall season!

Though we hate to say goodbye to Summer, it gives us the opportunity to look forward to less frizzy hair, no more bathing suits, and not having to worry if your make up is sweating off! With crisp air and darker hues rapidly approaching, we are forced to look into Fall Trends. One that I have particularly fallen in love with is the idea of cozy, but still chic! This is one of my favorites because it proves that you can be both comfortable and stylish all at the same time. How do you put such an ensemble together?
Leggings, leggings, leggings! Though the classic black legging has been trendy in the past, branch out and show your colors! Don't hesitate to stand out with a fierce blue or fuchsia legging under a solid tunic or slinky top. If you tend to stick to the darker tone, try "jeggings." These are leggings that are made to look like jeans. You get the fitted look of jeans without having to worry about squeezing in! You can accompany your jeggings with an adorned top. Think of jewels, floral accents, or add a pin for a bold look. Whether you chose a flirty shade or lean to a more classic side, you can accompany the leggings look with a great pair of boots! Flat for day and a heel or wedge for evening. Another way to wear this trend is with a pair of flats!
September will be here before you know it!

Bright hues are never boring, but they can be intimidating to those who've never tried them. It's summer, time to brighten up, be fierce, and stand out. Don't shy away from yellow! The solution? "Consider your skin tone and hair color," say stylist James Aguiar. Brunettes with olive skin look good in almost any shade, but platinum blondes should opt for midtones that won't compete. The same holds true for fair-skinned girls; Any extreme will wash them out.
Here are more tips for wearing them right.
Timing counts. The sun makes colors look much stronger, so for day, you want to choose paler, matte shades. For evening, you can experiment.
Lighter perspective. Afraid black accents will look too harsh? It's hard to go wrong with white or tan. They'll keep the look soft and subtle.
Sweet and Simple. Stay away from spandex and shine. Because yellow is so bright, the combination will accentuate every flaw. www.dressraleigh.com919.523.6021
