Prints, Plaids, and Pleats – Go Get Them!

DSC 0227 1

The 70’s look has returned.
Wide leg slacks and jeans. And hats, hats, hats, especially Western attire. Snakeskin is very popular, particularly in purses and boots.

Fall is quickly becoming Winter across the country. As temperatures plunge and holidays are around the corner, we see an array of fabrics and designs making a resurgence.


As my sister and I recently walked 6th Avenue area and the Upper East Side in New York, the windows were a blaze with pleated skirts, long and short in length. The pleats ranged from thin to wide and were varied in colors for fall and winter.
Additionally, plaids were everywhere. Large print and small. Black and white and bolder hues of mustard and gold and bright blues.

Jumpsuits are all the rage. Whether for dressy occasions, or every day work and leisure, the variety of them range from solid to print and flowery.

Oversize jeans shirts and jackets are making a come back as is fringe.

Satin and velvet return for both everyday wear and more dressy occasions.

“Bandanas and silk scarves are trending due, in part, to their incredibly versatility. They can be worn as a belt, neck tie, headband, or bag accessory.”

Have you thought about putting Pink and Red together? If they are the right shades, they compliment each other really well. Try it and let me know what you think!
