This blog is a continuation of the Pantone Colors of Fall 2017.  Be sure to read both posts to decide which is your favorite color of the season.

Neutral Gray

If you love wearing Gray, it is always interesting to add a pop of color to your shoes handbag or scarf.
Even black and white adds drama to the look, as seen in the photo.

Shaded Spruce

This is my personal pick. I have always gravitated to teal blends. This color is gorgeous in shoes, boots,
handbags, overcoats, dresses and silk blouses. It is strong, beautiful, and makes a statement.

Golden Lime

This yellow-green shade will compliment you Fall wardrobe, with necklaces, earring, scarfs, and handbags.

Autumn Maple

Have Fun this year with this rich vibrant, and exciting color. Don’t be afraid to mix a variety of this years
colors from Pantone into your outfit.  Pairing it with her orange tote adds some  trend to her outfit.
The Drama and excitement of this rich orange tone adds personality to your outfit. This rich vibrant color
makes a statement, when paired with your favorite black dress, slacks or dress.

Linda Eisen chose her tote to add some trend and  punch to her Red Jumpsuit.

Have Fun In Your Closet with colors this Fall/Winter season.  Here is a reminder of all the wonderful colors you can choose from.

Try a shade that works with your skin and eye color. Some colors are universal and looks good on everyone. Try something new and get out of your comfort zone.

If you need any help selecting your fall outfits or deciding which colors would work best on you – give me a call.  I would love to help you look and feel your best this fall.

PANTONE Fashion Color Report Fall 2017

My clients are so excited for a new season. Shopping and planning for your wardrobe now will give you a good start for the Holiday season right around the corner. You will begin to notice the incredible colors available to you in the stores.

I am happy to share with you  Fall 2017 seasons color choices as introduced by
LAURIE PRESSMAN

Here is an overview of the new fall colors.

For this blog post we will review the first half of the colors.

Grenadine

Red is eye catching. Remember Julia Roberts in her beautiful red gown in “Pretty Women”

This years color Grenadine gives women the confidence to wear red.

Linda Eisen looks confident and beautiful in her jumpsuit.

Tawny Port

Try a leather jacket in this rich color or even a boot. Pairing it with this years Neutral gray, in a scarf or silver jewelry will give your outfit polish and finish.

Ballet Slipper

This color is soft and can be added as a lovely accent to any outfit this Fall. Even the pink sneakers adds some fun and trend to your weekend attire.

In this photo I paired a cotton Ballet Slipper top with this rich Marina blue vest. The pearl necklace adds a touch of Neutral Gray.

Butterum

Imagine an entire outfit monochromatic in this beautiful shade including your handbag. Remember to think texture to give your look dimension and interest.

Navy Peony and Marina

I love combining and mixing and matching colors. Try these two shades together. Imagine a deep wash jean or a pencil skirt in Navy Peony with a Marina floral top. Add a handbag or shoe in these colors with silver jewelry and you have a ready to wear outfit.

Check out my next blog post for the review of the remaining colors.

Accessories have the power to make a plain look exciting. When I visit clients at their homes, in their closets it is obvious that for many women choosing the right accessory can be somewhat frustrating. That is why I always come prepared with pieces that will work with many outfits and personalities.

-Add a scarf with fringe or a tassle this year for a touch of trend.
-Layer a variety of long and short necklaces.
-Peruse your jewelery drawer and you will find a treasure trove of pieces you have not worn in years to layer.

Getting your closet ready for the fall is not an easy task. Positive Reflections can help you prioritize and organize your closet for an updated look. It is the time of year again to put away your sandals and take advantage of boot sales.

Today boots come in many different shapes, heel heights, round toes, pointy toes, half boots, ankle boots and shoe boots . There is a boot for every personality and style. This season, pairing boots with a slim fitting dress and a great pair of tights (textured or plain) can give you a fresh new updated look.

Below are examples of what is on trend as well as comfortable, clunky, and funky styles for people on the go. Also I have included some of my own picks for fall footwear. Shopping also begins with the proper footwear for my client’s lifestyle. Remember: comfort always takes priority over fashion.

Please comment or email me, I’d love to hear your questions about your perfect fall wardrobe.

• -Skinny leg pants are still on trend this year, but not for everyone.
• -Pair your trousers with a blazer for a professional appearance. For a more business casual look, try a turtleneck sweater, cold shoulder, or oversized.
• -Wide leg and flare pants are fun for parties and events. Paired with a sequin black top, flares and wide leg pants are great for holidays!
• -The classic straight leg in jeans, wool, or a blend are the perfect choice for a casual or professional look.
• -Try a mid-length or long duster. They can be found in a variety of colors and fabrics. Some have long sleeves and some are vests. These are a wonderful layering items for the Fall.

When it comes to jeans we all have our favorites. Some of you may not even want to wear jeans. Happily, this year higher waisted jeans are easy to find and way more comfortable. A high waisted jean in the right size and fit is the perfect way to avoid the dreaded muffin top.

• -Avoid torn jeans for the office, even if they are on trend.
• -A dark wash will take you from day to night. And has a more polished appearance.
• -Straight leg jeans work well for curvy body types.
• -Flare jeans are easy to wear and comfortable on your calves.
• -Pair your flare jeans with boots and booties for the perfect fall-ready look.
• -As always, try on a variety of skinny jean brands and sizes to find your perfect fit.

I was shopping with a friend the other day and she suggested that I do a blog post on bras. I agree because we all have issues with finding proper fitting undergarments. Sometimes they are so hard to even get on that you feel that you are in a vice.

The first thing I do when I am with a client in a their closet or dressing room is discuss undergarments.

Even more important than the clothes you wear is what you put underneath.

The right bra and body shapers can transform any outfit.

Underwear:

As with bras, not all undies are created equal. Your underwear should hide your flaws and accentuate your features. Your body type, your problem areas, and the clothes you wear all dictate your choice of underwear. Again, the golden rule is fit, be sure that your underwear, no matter the style fits you properly and is flush against your skin. By far a visible panty line is the number one outfit killer.

Shaping Up:

Shape wear has certainly come a long way from grandma’s girdles.

When selecting shape wear, always choose a size a little larger so it doesn’t dig into your skin and cause extra bulges.

As always I am here as your personal wardrobe and image consultant. Call or email me to get ready for fall!

As a blonde I know how important it is to keep the tone of my hair just right. As a woman over 50, I also love long hair, but when my hair gets too long I tend to feel dragged down. It’s important in the fall if you don’t have a good hairdresser to find one that understands your hair, your personality and your style.

-Consider a new hair style by shaping and eliminating split ends.

-If you are ready for a change from long to short, here are a few ideas:

As part of your wardrobe consultation we can discuss hair options that can elevate your new look as we transition to the colder months!

And just a reminder of some things that are inappropriate – you should always avoid

• Flip flops
• Worn out shoes
• Wrinkled clothing
• Dress or skirts too tight or too short
• Showing clevage
• Too much skin
• Some outfits are cute and adorable for a picnic or party, but never meant to be worn to the office.

If you are not sure if it’s suitable for work, then select something else from your closet.
