Trends come and go, some stick around for awhile. Isn't it great when you can dig in the back of your closet and pull out last seasons trends that are still going strong? Here are a few trends from seasons past that you can still wear fashionably. Remember certain trends of this season, such as burgundy, polka dots, and saddle bags and combine two fall trends in one!
1) Peplums; on dresses or tops, dressed up or down, 2) Color-block; body slimming color-block sheath dresses are both stylish and flattering, 3) Capes; go for rich details like the black trim on one from JCrew, 4) Leather Sleeves; dressed up or down this blazer makes a statement, 5) Slipper Loafers; perfect for travel, tomboyish slip-ons look great with cropped jeans and are still big, 6) Envelope Clutch; still a hot accessory, 7) Cross-body bags; saddlebag versions are very popular.

Heels To Die For
I love shoes! Can't have enough of them really. Heels 4" or higher are my favorite and I'm going to insist I wear them to my own funeral, morbid I know but seriously true. Anyway, we've talked about Fall trends; patent leather, and color-block.Well, these peep toe slingbacks in patent with covered platform and block heel from Sole Society scream Fall. The "Andrea" features a mirrored metallic heel detail and metal buckle closure. The heel height measures 5", and the platform 1/4" and is just $49.95. Just thought I pass the love. Mwuah!
