Dare to Wear: Plaid Outerwear

Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of toggle coats. On the other hand I do love plaid, so I may give this trend a try (I'm still undecided) but what about you? A quick disclaimer, first of all, while I do love Gwen Stefani's look, I have never tried to emulate it. And these coats look is 100% Gwen. So, by all means, if you wish to illustrate this look, do so with this cute coat that is definately growing on me...

Out with the Old, In with the New!

As we move into the Fall season we must, simply, clean out our closets! Here are three ways to make a perfect transition into the new season!

Hats: Lose your Oliver Twist topper in favor of a more glamourous fedora.
Lose: Newsboy Caps
Keep/Buy: Fedoras
http://www.thefedorastore.com/Bailey-Smooth-Finish-Luke-Center-Dent-Fedora-p/3822.htm

Patterns: Shy away from an eclectic mish-mosh and keep lovin' your sophisticated plaid.
Lose: Mixing Patterns
Keep/Buy: Plaid
http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=Outerwear&product%5Fid=2039463819&Page=1

Bottoms: Leave you leg warmers back in the '80s but keep your jeans tucked into boots for Fall '07.
Lose: Leg Warmers
Keep/Buy: Jeans Tucked into Boots
