This is a great value an a fabulous way to be on-trend: Animal print is really huge this season, and in these, I think I’d feel very cat-walk ready!

(No pun intended.)

Sale lasts through November 15, and if you spend $100 (which means like THREE pairs of shoes!), it’s free shipping!

Having observed different moms in different settings, I’ve come to realize that no matter their sizes, the best looking ones have a classic style. Simple but elegant. A touch of class in accessories and in cut and fabric. However, the ones who make an impact on me are classic but with an edge, a quirkiness that’s more memorable than usual sophistication. But what do you need to have quirky and classic style?

Wide-Collar Wrap Blouse

Let’s focus on the old classic, the white blouse. Every woman knows that you can never go wrong with the white blouse. It can be dressed up or down and worn with everything. There are so many versions and so many ways to wear it that it’s become a wardrobe staple on every fashion list. A gorgeous example of the blouse is Etsy seller MoonCircus’ Wide-Collar Wrap Blouse, done in “bone” and offered in several sizes. With ruffles and pleats topping off a wide collar that drapes beautifully, it’s a new take on the old favourite.

The Beret

The right hat really makes an outfit pop, but without overwhelming or cheapening the look. Recently, with the onset of fall and the threat of winter in the air, I have discovered the knit beret and I adore it. Not only do I receive compliments on it but the gray I chose as my hue complements any coat or sweater. It has a slouchy fit so it goes over my bangs, mussing them less than any hat I’ve yet tried, and keeps my sensitive ears warm. Though mine was bought on sale at Sears for a cool price of $15, Gap’s version is hot in four colours and only a few dollars more. I’ve got my eye on the “new vineyard”, a sassy purple.

Big Necklace

Accessories have always been my most fashionable aunt’s trademark, especially the oversized or wooden necklace. Though big wooden pieces can be found everywhere, what a dream the Lanvin Wood and Pearl necklace is. Imagine it with a strapless top and jeans. Any mama adorning such an ensemble is definitely the ultimate sophisticate with a twist in my books.

Boots

What dresses up a jean better than a beautiful tall boot? Modern and sleek and delicious from the knees right down to the toes, Aldo’s Matsushima boots in dark brown finish a look off. If they don’t turn heads, I’ll eat my new knit cap.

Sweater Dress

I know I’ve mentioned it before but…my favourite look right now? The sweater dress. The same fashionable aunt I mentioned earlier rocks the sweater dress like no other, topped with those big ole necklaces and a smile. You cannot look sloppy or go wrong with a sweater dress and you’ll love this beauty.

Keep lasting looks in mind as you peruse the shops this season. Big necklaces paired with beautifully tailored blouses, sweater dresses, yummy boots, and cozy berets say elegant but modern, quirky mom.

Zappos.com

I consulted the fabulous Ann Siner, of My Sister’s Closet and realized we concur on a lot of timeless advice: i.e. responsibility is always chic. Two great ways to do this is embracing fabulous sample sale sites like ideeli or Gilt, and finding a few key items to add to your wardrobe. This may be a great new big or fabulous shoes – but it’ll be a statement piece of great value that will kick everything else in your closet up a notch.

Some other trends to love:

Leggings

You can find them in jersey, lace, cable knit, wet look or with exposed zippers. Stick with black and pair with the great selection of tunics, boyfriend blazers and vests. Even dresses can be worn with leggings or a colorful footless tight.

Bold

Bold colors are key, as is black and white and animal print. Embellishment is there for those that dare! (See those boots pictured? Those are my fabulous Two Lips Kitty Kat boots from Zappos.com – my new favorite shoes in the world!)

Low-key luxe

I’ve always found accessories to be a great way of following a trend, but not being ruled by it. This season, that includes ribbon necklaces, sky high wedges, classic totes and embellished cuffs. Don’t forget the boot paired with everything. Whether thigh-high or sky-high, a great boot can go day and evening, to the office or a stroll in the park.

Chic with an edge

Try pairing the sky-high wedge with a skinny black pant or legging, top with a feminine flouncy tunic and a simple blazer. Finish with a bold touch of color – possibly a big red flower on the lapel. Or tuck the pant in a sleek pair of over the knee boots and layer with a long bold color tee and an oversize cardigan. Tie an eye catching-scarf on your classic tote.

That’s not to say I won’t be decked out to the most fully adorable level when the skies open up, and a rain coat is just the tip of the ice (rain?) burg.

Here are some of my top picks for what to wear when the skies are crying.

For my umbrella, I’m all about my hot-pink Davek traveler. First of all, it has a lifetime warrantee – which is a super-cool trait for an umbrella to have, is super compact (i.e. fits in my purse!) and it’s pink. But it comes in other colors for those of you who may not share my obsession.

When I seek rain boots, I want a style that will do its job — keeping my feet and lower-legs dry — but do so in a way that reflects my personality and is fun, wearable, and comfortable.

I found peace and love in these Chooka boots from DLL Rainwear. They aren’t just there because of the rain, I feel like they contribute to the outfit AND brighten my mood as well. Plus, they are 100% waterproof rubber with non-skid soles and removable insoles – which I suppose, is more important. (From a practical standpoint.)

What are your rainy weather faves?

Nine West

What do you see as some of the big trends for fall?

I love rich colors like purples and reds in suedes and textures. A great boot is a necessity. The thigh high boot is ultra sexy and there are many versions, so there are more wearable options available. Animal print and chain detailing are also a big trend for Fall; perfect for giving an outfit a bit of an edge.

I LOVE the Nine West Vintage America collection – can you tell me more about it, and its inspiration?

It was important for me to offer the Nine West customer a more casual option and I loved the idea of going back to what we love about American fashion – your favorite jeans, rich leathers, relaxed boots. The Vintage America collection updates timeless pieces with a modern yet soulful sensibility.

Personally, I now own the Keliane boot style – what would you advise i wear it with to create the perfect fall outfit?
That is a great boot! I love it with distressed denim tucked in loosely with a great worn in cardigan or cropped sweater; comfort is key with this style.

There’s a lot of belts on the runway this season – how do you like to use them that you find most on-trend and flattering?

Belts are great accessories – they look best when worn around the smallest part of the waist. They create curves and give the allusion of slim proportions simultaneously.

What are the big colors and patterns for fall?

Purple and red are important colors this season. You will see them everywhere – from footwear to nail polish. I also love dark teal. It adds a pop of unexpected color to any outfit. Animal prints are back once again as well. I think women can pull off wearing printed tights and footwear as long as they have confidence. Fashion should be fun so it is best to experiment with the trends to see what works for you.
