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.

Will you be buying new clothes for Fall? If so, what’s on your list?
