Breaking the Rules this Fall

Flipping the pages of the August issue of InStyle magazine, we came across an article that might make some of your grandmother’s gasp.  Now, being good Southern girls, we aren’t telling you to wear white after Labor Day, but there are a few rules that fashionistas may want to check out:

•  Mix metals – silver and gold, you heard it correctly, mix your metals in jewelry and accessories.  You’ll give off a radiant hue.
• Belt anything but your pants – Add a belt over an evening jacket, top or dress.  Even our moms-to-be get into the game with one of our hottest sellers:  the “boobie tube” by Notice in a b&w zebra print.  The wide, black leather belt adds another dimension between bust and belly for a totally sassy look.
• Don’t put away your pastels – they work a little magic with this Fall’s dark hues and can be perfectly paired with charcoal gray, chocolates and any shade of black.
• Grab your fine tooth comb – big hair is back.  Okay, so maybe it never left some parts of Texas but you can give your flat iron a little break and add some lift at the top and back.  Can’t break the flat-iron habit?  Use it to smooth out spots for a perfectly coiffed mane.  Just make sure you don’t resemble your high school yearbook pic.
