In today’s society, everyone would rather stay with the crowd than to stand out and be an individual. We have a human need to be noticed, but it is laced with the human fear of drawing unwanted attention. The incredible want to fit in has covered our uniqueness and driving out what is so great about the human race, individuality.

I am here to advice you on ways to take today’s trends and make them your own. My first piece of advice is to be comfortable. Comfort breeds confidence; and self-confidence is the path to beauty. No one would think you are beautiful if you don’t believe it yourself.

Fall Trend # 1: Red is the new black.

Red is in this fall. Everywhere you look from the cafeteria to the Red Carpet, from leather boots to lipstick; the color red is popping up everywhere. Make it your own. There are many shades of red. Find one that goes best with your completion and individual style. You don’t have to be looking like a tomato from head to toe to capitalize on this trend. Change it up by wearing simple ruby earrings with your black assemble, or a red belt with a gray dress. Play with it.

Fall Trend # 2: Plaid is back.

Plaid can quickly go from good to bad. Do it right. Don’t wear contradicting patterns. And never overdo it. If you are fancy plaid bottoms, always wear a solid shirt that match one of the colors in the plaid pattern. The same thing goes for plaid tops; match them up with solid bottoms. If you have a full plaid suit, keep the top unbuttoned and complete it off with a solid camisole underneath.

Fall Trend # 3: Skinny pants and puffy shirts.

I was as happy as anyone to see the leggings, skinny jeans and puffy skirts and tops come back. I wasn’t so happy to see that they are once again misunderstood by the people who chose to participate in this certain trend. It is all about volume control. The rule here is to have a blossoming top with a thin bottom, but you can also reverse it. It is okay to wear a fitting top with puffy bottoms. Play with them and see what is best for you. But, remember to mix up the volume and proportions.

There is a way to stand out while being in the midst of the crowd. Be fashionable but don’t lose your individuality. For more fashion and shopping tips, check out my blog "The Shopping Diva".
