Fashiona

Oh, it is the last day of September and we are over a week into the Fall 2008 Season.

Fashiona has been teasing you  with tidbits of Fall trends by dropping hints in her commentary - see Fashiona’s Date with Lucky.  She decided that she would list them out in one concise post.

…she is waiting for her applause.

Of course Fashiona  watches trends for men and women and reads about them ALL but only subscribes to ones that she like for herself or can conceive others.  If you have  reading for  a while then you know that she hates skinny jeans on men and  on “less than” skinny girls.  Leggings she hates for herself but condone   other people wearing them if their tops are flattering and long enough.   Her sis embraces this trend wholeheartedly and does it correctly.

Fall Top Trends:

• Lace and more Lace - Think Victorian era style rather than Madonna’s Desperately Seeking Susan days.  So think lace scarves rather than lace gloves.  A lace little black dress is an excellent way to pull this trend off. You do have little black dress, right?

• False eyelashes - Fashiona loves real drama  in general (one reason she doesn’t fully embrace reality TV, why watch angst filled  real life  when you can watch perfectly coiffed and dressed stars on… let’s say Lipstick Jungle or Mad Men). Lashes are great accents for evening and can add some real “WOW” to your look.

• High Waist Pants and Skirts- No more “Whale Tail” sightings and Fashiona is rejoicing.  Granted high Waist clothes are easier to pull off if you are taller but petite girls you just break out your platforms and you can too.  Oh… stop whining that  your feet and back hurt and think about how fab you look (with your built in girdle).

• Sweater Dresses-Sweater Dresses can REALLY  be cute if you buy them in the right size.  They should be form fitting but not sausage casing tight. Wear your Spanx or get thee to a gym (Fashiona does both).  Ladies there should be 2 count them bumps in our clothes, flotation devices (top) and seat cushions(bottom) that’s it-No muffin tops or spare tires.

• Wood Heel Boots- Fashiona is love in with the 1970’s anyway so this just fits right in.  And Good News, these can actually be comfortable if the heel is wide enough.
