Let’s toss aside our sandals and colorful pastels for now.  Autumn is all about dressing dramatically in rich fabrics and darker colors.

What’s in:

• dress ladylike; wear skirts (except those micro minis for now)
• Knits
• Purple and shades of plum, also gray
• layer necklaces, wear studded belts (a little rock and roll feel)
• funky wedge heels or platforms
• boots

Summer pieces you can still wear this season?

• capris (with blazer and boots) and  shorts (like Lindsay Lohan in this photo)
• summer dresses (with turtlenecks or long sleeves)

• tank tops for layering

• summer scarves and metallic purses
• open-toed sandals (yes you can with leggings)

• leggings
• beach tunics with wide belt and leggings
• rompers,jumpers and babydoll
