Angie Says: I am one of the types that dress to specific fashion rules as you
know Ali. And right now with a change in season there are many that I question while trying to be stylish. Can i still wear sandals? When do I need tights with a dress? What kind of outer wear should i be using? Do we move to dark handbags? I love the jean jacket, but can you do it with jeans? Does your scarf have to match your outift, or coat? What do you think?

Ali Says: Yes the transition to fall continues to be confusing, but the balance has shifted and we are now getting more of the cool and less of the glorious warm.

First let’s discuss phasing out summer: Can you wear sandals? Yes, if when you leave the house it is warm and sunny and you will be home before the sun (and the temperature) goes down.

Dresses are still great but I highly recommend wearing them with tights which happen to be another of my favourite accessories.

Welcoming in fall: Yes! It’s coat season! I LOVE coats (yes I know, I love everything!). Coats are just so much fun. They say so much about where you are going and what you will be doing. This time of year popular picks are:

Trench Coat – this piece made its debut as a functional item during WWI. It has since become a classic because not only does it keep you warm and dry, it always looks so darned good!

Jean jackets are fantastic and iconic as well however they are just a little less easy to wear. Pair them up with anything other than denim in a similar colour.

Does your scarf have to match your coat? Yes! Does that mean it has to be exactly the same colour? No! Pick a colour that flatters your complexion as your scarf is the closest thing to your face. The guidelines for scarves are very flexible so just throw one on!
