What We Learned from Pre-Fall

Now that the pre-fall collections have come and gone--and we wait with baited breath for the fall '11 presentations in the beginning of Feb--I think it's time to take a moment to see what we all learned. Now, as a disclaimer, just because we learned something doesn't mean you have to do it or wear it. I like to think of it all as just a jumping off point from which you can adjust your own style and get inspired. Ok, now moving on...Camel was a HUGE color for fall, and that doesn't mean you shouldn't keep wearing it, but primary colors are WAY in and I am loving the pairing of two bold colors (pinks and oranges together, you get the drift). Skinny pant legs are gone and making way for boot cut trousers and flared-leg styles. Hallelujah. The list goes on but here are some of my fave photos that deliver the message of what we have in store. Take a look and get inspired--or start planning your outfits just like me!
