Recently, Shellie and I had a fun day when we went to a luncheon and a fashion show. I admit, it was a stretch for both of us as Shellie is more comfortable on her back porch with a few kids and a dog running close by and I’m more comfy at my computer or hanging on to one of my new great-grandbabies. But, we were invited, so we went! And it was so much fun.

First of all, it was decorated so elegantly you would have thought we were at a mansion in Mississippi instead of a giant tent hauled in accommodate the hundreds, maybe thousands, of visitors that make their way to Jackson, MS for Mistletoe Marketplace. Mistletoe is one of those amazing fundraisers put on by the Junior League of Jackson. I would say it consists of some of the best shopping this side of the Mason-Dixon Line. Vendors come from all over to give us southerners an opportunity to get a head start on our Christmas shopping. And we did that too!
But, back to the fashion show. Can I just say I loved the fall looks! We all know there is nothing new in the world of fashion, but somehow, designers manage to tweak what was old just enough that we have to buy new things each season. Can I get an AMEN? I do have a few items I’ve saved long enough that they are back in style! I consider that a win-win!

Here are some of the looks for fall we saw on the runway and loved. All of these items could easily be added to your wardrobe. I’m going to show you samples from Zara because I love Zara. It is trendy, but reasonable prices. If you’ve never shopped at Zara, give it a try.

Wide leg pants. Yes, they are back in a big way and so much fun. You can wear them cropped or full length. Either way, super fun and classy looking at the same time. These at $35.90 at Zara and would be great with a sweater as well. 

Velvet is back! I love the feel of velvet and it was all over the runway. As you’re thinking about a holiday party—think velvet. This little velver top is only $17.90 from Zara. You can’t get better than that!

Jackets in every length are a big trend this year. I do not like to be cold so I always have a jacket with me. This puffer jacket is only $69.90 at Zara. It is perfect for a chilly fall day paired with pants or a skirt. 

Booties are back this season and I say booties can dress up any outfit. Whether you’re wearing jeans and a t-shirt or a dress or shorts, bookies dress up any outfit in seconds. This  pair is $59.90 and would go with anything. 

Animal prints are here to stay as well as pleated skirts. You can get both with this skirt for $49.90. Again, a comfy would be perfect with this skirt as well.

Well, that’s a few of the new fall looks. I hope this helps you get your fashion trend going with some rocking new styles.
