Receiving my copy of InStyle’s Fall Fashion issue is an annual event I treasure. I love pouring over the pages, clipping out styles I like, and laughing at the ridiculous ones I don’t. Here are my picks for the highs and lows:

Tackiest trends:

Joots – Otherwise known as “Jean Boots,” and suitable only for streetwalkers.

French dot tights – Recommended by the iconic Diane Von Furstenberg, no less. Crazy bad!

Super-wide leg pants – As if the oversize width doesn’t add enough pounds, they’re also high waisted and pleated…

Gromets – Ok if you’re into the industrial look, I guess, but not for me.

Best Trends:

Suede – Gorgeous skirts and shoes made in the soft, rich material.

Patent Leather – Wonderful for accessories like purses and shoes.

Begonia Pink – A medium tone shade that resembles the flower.

I already have the bag featured above and I’m hoping to add a pretty pink blouse to my wardrobe, in addition anything else that catches my eye.

Blue is one of my favorite summer colors. Not only is it universally flattering, it makes me feel happy. That’s why I’ve decided to wear a blue dress to an upcoming wedding. It’s an outside event—nothing too over-the-top or formal.

But here’s my dilemma … I cannot decide what dress to rent from my go-to dress place, Rent The Runway. Every dress I’m looking at is gorgeous and really affordable, which makes it so much harder to choose! 

I’ve selected my top 3 dresses (see below) and would love your thoughts on which one is your favorite. And by all means, if you find another blue beauty in Rent the Runway’s selection that you think I should consider, please let me know.

And if you are ever trying to pick a dress for an upcoming event and are having trouble deciding, I’d be happy to share my vote and even put your three styles on my blog if you’d like others to weigh-in as well.

Plus, if you haven’t yet rented a dress from Rent the Runway, be sure to use the code FIRSTRTR25X75X at checkout because you’ll get $25 off your first rental of $75+, which is awesome!

Okay, moment of truth. Here are three styles I’ve selected to possibly wear for this end-of-summer wedding. Which one is your favorite?

allison parris Havana Dress

Shoshanna Cindy Midi Dress

ERIN erin fetherston Blue Sea Mist Dress

I have a light evening sweater and silver heels that will be worn as part of the outfit. Right now, I’m leaning towards the Shoshanna dress because it’s longer/more modest and I think I’d feel less conspicuous, but definitely need a second opinion.
