Fall Fashion Trends

Fall is my favorite time of year for fashion.  Here are a few of my top choices for "most wearable" fashion trends for this Fall.

The Working Girl Dress
Miu Miu

Chunky Sweaters
Rodarte

 
60's Inspired
Bottega Veneta

Maxi Skirts
L.A.M.B.

Plaids and/or Graphic Prints
Ferragamo


The great thing about these trends is that they are all available in your local thrift shop.  So whether you are financially challenged, desire a unique look, or just enjoy the hunt...you are in luck this season. 
 
And here a few other fashionable trends for Fall:  polka dots, capes and ponchos, duster coats, fur, and anything jade green or mustard/camel/rust.

Thrift Shopping: Vintage and New

I have been going through a bit of withdrawal since my favorite Goodwill store is closed for remodeling.  Thankfully, we have a good variety of other thrift stores within an hour drive of my home.  Here are a few of my recent AWESOME finds!!  I can hardly wait to wear them and/or use them for a shoot!!

Thrift Heaven

For those who regularly follow my blog, you already know how much I love thrift shopping for myself and for wardrobe items for photo shoots.  The closest thrift store to my home has always been 30-45 minutes away. Well, my dream has finally come true.. a new Goodwill just opened 15 minutes from my house.





Today was the Grand Opening of the Collierville, TN store.  It is roomy, well organized, stocked with loads of merchandise, and staffed with helpful smiling faces.  It gets and A+ from me.  I was really surprised to see so many people there since it is located in a rather affluent suburb of Memphis.  But, thrift shopping is no longer taboo among the rich.  In fact, it's rather in vogue.  I arrived 30 minutes after the ribbon cutting and the store was completely packed with shoppers pushing baskets brimming with terrific finds.  Here are a few of the great items I spotted...that were still on the racks!    

I'm into lace up boots right now...and the floral design adds a girly touch.


Black and Silver Ankle Strap Wedges by Newport News


Stylish pewter flats with bows by Loft



Suede Airwalks for those casual days.



Roomy Black  Handbag with tassel



Terrific faux leather purse with brass studs



Fabric hobo - Love the fall colors



Tweed double breasted jacket by Loft 



Camel velvet jacket by Gap - Love the tiny buttons



Olive military jacket with floral design on back



Mint chenille looking bolero (tags attached) from To The Max



Fabulous periwinkle paisley blouse by Talbots - not the least bit classic!


This was my size, so it came home with me...hippie style tiered long skirt


Warning:  Thrift shopping can be addictive.  Buy only what your really love and really need.

Hippie Style Fashion Photos (Part 1)

I mentioned a while back that I had a hippie themed photo shoot coming up. It took place a little over a week ago.  We shot three outfits.  Here is the first.
