Haute or Haunting?

[Stephanie Klein]

Fall trends. I'm a psycho and love nothing more than an organized closet chockablock of folded fall favorites, eager for a crisp day for their debut. But I do have to wonder, as always, which of the trends are fetching, and which leave you retching? Thoughts? Feel free to post your own questionable or must-do/must-try fashion statements in this forum.

"You could be a farmer in those clothes." --Clueless
Balenciaga: Leather and wool bag, $1,995; at Bergdorf Goodman

Gloves should be worn in cold weather, not with a sweater or vest. With an evening dress a la Audrey, perhaps. But otherwise, I think they always look fantastic on other people, but very out of place and huh? on me.

Oooh, just found this floral print and wondering if I can wear it with leggings and boots. Love it.

I love this (the floral)! LOVE it. It would, however, make my ass look incredibly flat(ter). Moreso than it already is. I might not care.

As for the OP, I think it all looks fabulous...on someone else. I would look ridiculous. Especially in the dress. It would be frightening.

Legging and knee high boots. It would look fabulous.

I like this. The right kinda boots will make it. Not sure about the tights though.

Holy Shiznit, I just saw the price for this dress.

I'd definitely wear this with leggings and boots. But with the right boots as quoted by emmalyn.

Although not too sure about the neck line though...
