Fall 2009 Fashion Preview

By Sarah Conley · July 16, 2009 · 4 Comments · 602 Views
Though our thermostats may tell us otherwise, it's time to start shopping for fall. After paying close attention to the fall runways at New York Fashion Week, I've been looking forward to the luxurious fabrics, rich textures and saturated Autumnal hues all Summer. Silhouettes's pre-fall selections just went live, and I am already making my shopping list! Check out a few of the pieces I am excited to wear!

Melange Knit Dress - $69 If purple is your favorite color you're in luck this Fall, because the hue is back with a vengeance. Inverted pleats from an empire waist are also incredibly flattering.

Gillian Grey Soft Pleat Cardigan - $59 There are certain pieces that you fall in love with at first glance. For me, this gorgeous draped cardigan falls into that category. It's casual but has enough detail to make you feel effortlessly chic.

Swing Jacket - $74 Menswear detailing turns this ultra flattering jacket into a key piece for Fall. Plus the swing shape, bell sleeves and inverted pleats help streamline your silhouette.

Print Ponte Dress - $74 Although this dress is described as an "earth toned abstract print", every time I look at it, I see Monarch butterflies. Pulled together by the black cuffs and hem detail, set this dress free on a sunny Autumn day.

Beaded Shell - $44 Who says basics have to be boring? This beaded shell makes every day glamorous and it will transition beautifully into holiday!

Request: Please make/offer more skirts in the circle/A-line/multiple-gore styles - mid-calf length would be nice. In good (wool/cotton/linen) fabrics/blends. My full-bottomed/smaller-waisted body cannot wear straight skirts no matter how I try, and I look miserable in pants.

Compliment: I like the menswear cascading open front jacket a lot!! More like this in softer fabrics would be great. Thanks

Lovely things, dahling. I only wish that one or two pieces had a natural waistline, which seems to be the bugaboo of the plus-size business. There are large hourglasses out there and it would be lovely if some of the dresses had something other than empire waists.
