Embrace Being a Lady This Fall...

HELLO AGAIN!!! agirl2shop4u is alive and well.  She has just been MIA in her recent move to Hong Kong (more to come on agirl2shop4u in Asia ;)) but she is back!!!

For now let's get straight to the trend for Fall that has been on my mind lately and we are seeing it from big name brands all over the world. What I like to call Ladylike and Lustful at the same time.  No more is the "dirty" casual glam rock of the highest priority on the fashion list however this season it's all about embracing being a lady.

The fashion house that embodied all that is Ladylike and Lustful in Fall 10 is Prada. A nod to the 50's and what it is to dress like a woman.  All looks that went down the runway were classic: bold silhouettes in dresses, full skirts, and just a touch of ruffle. Looks that embraced the figure of a woman while also showing just a little bit of skin.

So now the question...how to apply this look to your wardrobe?  What to look for?  And...above all where to find it at the right price?

Personally in these adding pieces to my fall wardrobe I look for 2 things:
1. Dresses in bold silhouettes that accentuate the figure
2. Full A-line skirts with feminine appeal

Here are a few of my favorites anywhere between $30 and $240...

DRESSES
WHAT TO LOOK FOR: Dresses with higher neckline and boat neck should be shorter in length while dresses with lower neckline should be full in the bottom and longer in length

(Removable halter strap so you can wear it two ways!)

Nordstroms Maggy London Silk Dress $148

SKIRTS
WHAT TO LOOK FOR: A-line, A-line, A-line!  The more volume the better! Pair it with a tucked in button up woven with military inspired pockets and rolled sleeves OR with a camisole and cardigan. 
(Wear it anyway you want!  This skirt has bendable metal so you create the shape)



From one fashion enthusiast to another don't forget everyday is a new adventure-- Dress like it!
