Fall 2012 Fashion Trends - Brocade and Such

Another fashion trend for Fall 2012 is anything ornate:  brocade, velvet, guilded, embellished, etc.  It's a baroque revival.  The key word is opulent!  Here are a few examples.

Brocade and Denim

As a stylist, I enjoy mixing denim with more formal pieces.  This lovely violet brocade jacket really dresses up the tailored denim trousers (both thrifted!).  The detail on the lace blouse is amazing.  Cream and gray pearls, a topaz rhinestone necklace, drop earrings, and patent pumps are a great compliment to the look.  I love how the rusted metal chair contrasts with the formality of the outfit.
