Dear Julie,

Depending on what you read, you'd think that there was a whole new look for fall. But it's really just a variation of last year's look.

So, which came 1st, the wardrobe or the pieces? (You know, like the chicken or the egg story) Well, you need the pieces to make the wardrobe, but they have to be the right pieces, not just any pieces, to create a functional wardrobe. Am I implying that there are some less-than-fully-functional wardrobes out there? Don't fret. We all have a few 'orphan' items.

To have a great wardrobe, you must take an inventory 1st. Right now would be a great time to look at last year's coats, boots and gloves. Sounds early, but the best boots are gone by the time you really need them.

In the meantime, here's a quick overview of what's out there.

COLORS
Black , berries, plums and purples, red and brights

SILHOUETTE
Dresses are mostly slim Skirts are knee length bell shape in soft fabrics and flowy hemlines OR they are pencil. Coats are knee length and A-line Pants have very wide or very slim legs

With Style, Julie
