Be Inspired.

I have to admit, I haven’t been really excited about the fall 2011 trends as I usually am about fall trends. There was nothing really new and innovative to me. But recently, I was inspired by these looks in the current Ruche lookbook. Take a look with me and shop the looks by following the links below the pictures.

How pretty is this? I love the yellow maxi skirt, more of a brown mustard-y color for fall. The comfy knit sweater is cinched at the waist with a skinny belt for some shape and the statement jewelry finishes the look. You can’t see her shoes very well but she is wearing some cute brown wedges (click on “shop the look” for a better view)

This outfit is vintage and classy with the below-the-knee length, high-waisted pleated skirt and white blouse. It incorporates a pop of color with the mustard yellow belt. The outfit is tied together with the adorable clock necklace and the lace up, peep-toe heels.

Speaking of vintage, this outfit screams 1960 with the mint blouse and high-waisted eyelet skirt. This ultra-feminine outfit would be paired with none other than the eggplant 4 ½ inch heels (if you dare walk in them!).

This one is my personal favorite. The flowy, polka-dot top tucked into a lace skirt makes for a beautiful and romantic, effortless outfit choice. I love the pattern mixing. Plus, the shoes with the bow detail are to die for!

Here is a stylish, office appropriate outfit. Wide leg jeans and blazers are very trendy this season, and the ruffles on the blouse add a feminine detail. I love the flower pin to dress up the outfit a bit more.

This outfit is very pretty and romantic with the burgundy colors of the sheer blouse and the ruffles and bow pencil skirt. Of course, you’d want to make sure to wear a tank top under the shirt for extra coverage. I’m really liking that skeleton key necklace she’s wearing!

Duster cardigans have been all over the runways this season and it adds a fall look to this beautiful, classy outfit. The calf-grazing skirt adds a pop of color and is light enough to catch in the breeze but long enough to still be modest.

What’s more fun than some nerdy glasses? You can be nerdy and cute in the edgy cropped blazer and polka-dotted top that drapes perfectly and ties at the bust (wear a camisole for extra coverage!). The burgundy corduroy pants are a showstopper!

What are your thoughts on the trends for this season? Do they inspire you or have you felt like it's all the same as last season/year?

P.S...tomorrow is my birthday! I turn 20!!! Ahhhh!
