FALL'S "IT" DRESS...MAXIMIZE YOUR STYLE WITH A MAXI DRESS

Maxi dresses can be chic for fall.  Change the color, style, and how you accessorize it to make it work for this coming season.  A cropped leather jacket is a great edgy piece to add over the dress.  Go with basic black, or add a pop of color with a bright deep blue or red jacket.  A jean jacket is a casual, cool way to wear maxi dresses into fall.  Great for brunch or a casual weekend outing.  Animal prints, chevron, and bold fall colors, such as mustard, emerald green and burgundy make a statement this fall.

7 MUST HAVE LOOKS FOR LADIES

Every woman has events in her life that you will have to attend.  Each requires a different look.  Try having a few dresses that go from dressy to casual that you can change out the jewelry and shoes to glam up or down your look.  Brunch, BBQ, Cocktail Party, Office, Bridal Shower, Date Night, and Wedding are events most women attend

Brunch- Sundresses and rompers are great for brunch.  Keep the jewelry and shoes simple for a more casual look or glam it up for a dressier brunch.  Prints look great for brunch.

BBQ- Wear a romper or casual sundress.  Pair with strappy espadrilles to dress it up or flip flops for daytime.

BCBG Scarf Print Romper, $198

Cocktail Party- Every woman needs an "LBD" a.k.a. little black dress.  To capture someone's eye and look fashion forward, try a bright color or interesting detail, such as feathers, beading, one shoulder, sparkles, asymmetrical hemline or shorter in the front longer in the back hem.  Any unexpected element gets you noticed.

Office- Try a bright colored blazer with a pencil skirt.  Fuchsia, deep purple, and bright blue are versatile colors that work with all skin tones.  A pencil skirt in a pattern or white looks crisp for summer.  Pair a printed pencil skirt with a white blouse to stay more classic or a bright colored blouse to be bold.

Date Night- The key is to show off your best assets.  Whether that be your shoulders, bottom, chest etc. showcase one.  I'm loving the look of embellished short shorts.  This looks very trendy and fun but shows off your body.

Wedding- If it is a daytime wedding, try something in a brighter hue or with a flouncy skirt.  If it is an evening wedding, a more fitted silhouette works well.  Embellishment is great for nighttime as well.
