I’ve never really loved rules, especially fashion rules. Fashion is about expressing yourself, wearing pieces that help you shine and oftentimes, breaking boundaries. That’s why I’m excited to talk a few rules that you should DEFINITELY be breaking.

 

Don’t Mix Prints

I really applaud the person who one day decided to mix a floral pant with a striped shirt because it was simply genius. To rock this trend, it must be done boldly and confidentially. Rule of thumb, stick to stripe and a pattern.

Don’t Wear White After Labor Day

This rule is the absolute worst, an all-white look is one of the chicest looks, especially for winter. Think white wool, cashmere, mohair, flannel, silk, and leather materials for layering.

Silver & Gold Jewelry Don’t Go Together

We can credit the fashion blogger sphere for re-defining what’s right and wrong when it comes to jewelry. There’s no rules at an arm parties. We’ve seen beautiful images of Pinterest, Interests of countless bloggers who says YES to mixing metals. You should too.

Denim On Denim Is A Fashion Faux Pas

An all denim look is always a win. Pair various washes or colors. Check out my recent post layering three types of denim here.

Sweatshirts Are Strictly Casual Wear

There’s no easier way to look effortlessly chic than a sweatshirt. It says “not trying” while looking endlessly cool with a long maxi or fancier skirt. It’s an easy way to dress down any outfit for day.

We are so happy to showcase a post from one of our favorite blogs, Style Wax Poetic! Kristen is such a style icon and we are dying over her Fall fashion picks and think that you will too!

By Kristen of Style Wax Poetic

It’s time for pumpkin flavored lattes, chic oversized sweaters, boots and layering. We love fall fashion. Getting ready for fall is easier than you think, you’ll just need to add a couple amazing staples that you’ll wear throughout the season, which will make you feel excited and renewed.  As as a fashion blogger, I spend A LOT of time thinking of what pieces are the best investments and how I can take what I already have in my closet and make it new again! Re-inventing what you already have in your wardrobe is key. Here are a few pieces I’m coveting for the season.

 

Y.A.S Henni Coat in Orange – this color is appearing everywhere! I’m a big supporter of color, after moving from New York to LA, I realize I have way too much black. Make a statement with a beautiful coat that will brighten up a possibly gloomy cold day. Orange isn’t your color? Try Tibi’s Bonded Shearling Fencing Coat or Club Monaco’s Carolyn Jacket I love the multiple materials and colors. Another goodie is this Jenni Kayne Pony Panel Coat, with just a touch of leopard.

It took me a minute to re-adopt the idea of plaid, but after seeing how cute it can be in a dress with boots or adding a touch of color with a plaid scarf, I’m totally on board.

Over-the-Knee boots are SO the item this fall. Worried about looking like Julia Roberts in Pretty Women? Don’t worry, as long as you don’t pair them with a skin tight dress, you wont, trust me. Wear them with skinny jeans or leather leggings and a huge over-sized sweater for a chic, cool and sexy look. These Chinese  Laundry boots are super chic and just the right price.  Also, these Alice and Olivia boots are to die for.

To stay in the game this season, it’s key to bring your hat game.  From leather caps to fedoras, I’m loving them all. This grey number by Michael Stars will literally go with anything. Or, wear a leather cap with any dressy look to tone it down a notch for daytime.

​Seriously, how effortlessly cool does she look in this l vegan leather top by BCBG? L​ea​ther is another must​-​have these season and seasons to come. From leather tops in black or tan, leather leggings with boots and a casual t-shirt, or caps hats​, you’ll make a statement with leather this season!
