Fall ‘06 Fashion “it” List: My Picks
September 2, 2006 at 11:16 am , by shelley
1. Capes /Capelets (or a cropped military jacket with bell sleeves)
2. Stacked Heel Shoes 
3. Fab Kneelength Flat Boots
4. Animal Prints
5. Multibuckle Belts
6. Layers of knits
7. Red Splashes
8. Cropped trouser (& a pair of slouchy trousers) – with a crisp white shirt
9. Pencil skirt – with a crisp white shirt
10. Jet Jewels & Luxe Gold ala Tiffany’s Frank Gehry 
(Guggenhiem Architect!)
Dresses: It’s the season of the dress. A sweater dress is the best choice (and you can warm up with leggings underneath. Legging rules – cover your bum!).
Gold: Gold hardware, around your neck (layers of chains), shoe details, and fabric. It’s a rare woman who can mix silver and gold -so be safe and retire the silver for a little while.
Boots: Knee-high or little booties – just keep in mind the heel is flat or chunky (no stiletto). Cuffs & buckles galore.
Skinny Pants: With so much layering volume on top, you want your bottoms slim. The only skinny I’ve ‘really’ liked is the velvet skinny.
Menswear-inspired Trousers: If skinny and leggings don’t do it for you -your answer is plaids and pinstripes in wide-leg or long Bermuda short-style.
Sweaters: Since skinny is the look below – the counterbalance is big up top. Oversized flowing knits.
Red accents: Red is the No. 1 accent color for the season, says Gregg Andrews, a fashion director at Nordstrom. Buy a red coat, or a red handbag. Wear red lips.
Black accents: Coordinate jet onyx beads and crystals with just the right sparkle to subtly stand out on black.

[...] I noted these in my Fall 2006 picks, but thought they’re grand enough to be featuring in a solo post. I don’t know who is designing for Aerosoles, but has this shoe company ever found some new soul (sole). [...]
