	1. Vests Warm vests with plaid patterns and furry hoods are back again this fall. They look great with comfortable khakis, corduroy pants and your favorite blue jeans. Layer them up with tank tops, henleys, collared shirts, long-sleeve tee's and more for a comfy-cozy fall fashion. Mix different patterns with similar colors to add interest to your layered look.

	2. Leggings Keep your limbs warm this season when the cool autumn wind blows. Stylish leggings of all colors can be worn with a patterned dress, jean skirt, even a long sweater! Top them off with a pair of boots or comfortable flats of the same or coordinating color. (Featured leggings: Old Navy)
	3. Crochet Cardigans Sweaters and cardigans are fashion staples, and this year the trend continues with a twist of crochet. Short-sleeve and long-sleeve crochet sweaters that stop at the waist, mid-thigh and knee are popping up all over the place this fall. Choose from casual sweaters with hoods and big buttons to elegant sweaters with crochet roses and ties around the waist. (Featured cardigan: Macy's)
	4. Ruffles They're adorning cardigans, blouses, skirts, dresses and more. Ruffles can add simple elegance to any outfit, and they complement every body type and hair style. Pick up a few "ruffly" pieces this fall to add more style to your wardrobe. Here's a tip: tie a coordinating ribbon around your waist to complete the look! (Featured blouse: Sutton's)
	5. Timeless Turtleneck Sweaters Put the spotlight on your face with a classic turtleneck sweater! They're warm, comfortable and look great on all shapes and sizes. Plush fabrics, soft stripes and ribbed turtlenecks can be worn with just about anything... for just about any occassion! The turleneck sweater is a cold-weather wardrobe staple, and every woman ought to own at least a black one. Dress it up with a colorful scarf, unique necklace or cuff bracelet.

	6. Fitted jackets Fitted jackets (short and full-length) are another craze this year. Pair them with work slacks, jeans, skirts or khakis to show off your figure as well as hide your not-so-flattering features. From tweed to corduroy to velvet, make sure you have a stock of these in your closet this fall. (Featured jacket: Violet's)
	7. Scarves From elegant and sophisticated to funky and frumpy, these classic tie-arounds are more for looks this fall than functionality. A sheer, black scarf for work or a soft, patterned scarf for play, you'll find new confidence when you add interest and dimension to your outfits with scarves this season. (Featured scarf: Boscov's)
	8. Headbands They're back! Headbands are lining the accessories shelves this year, lending an innocent, school-girl spirit to this season's fashion trends. These hair accessories are not sporting bold, vibrant colors, but rather those that tend to blend in with your hair color (think black, brown, mahogony, beige) and add elegance to your hair. With or without bangs, headbands are a sure bet this fall for hair of every color. (Featured headband: Lulus.com)
	9. Big Bags Forget trying to squeeze your wallet and cell phone into one of those teensy tiny purses. This fall, think big, bulky bags made with flexible fabric or leather. Solid color purses are in as well as colorful patterns and plaid. Let your purse be an exclamation point at the end of your fashion statement this season! (Featured bags: Lucia Boutique)
	10. Belts & Buckles The stores are filled with belts and buckles for the fall season... but surprisingly not to be worn through your jeans' belt loops. Patent black leather and other stylish belts are adorning dresses and collared shirts, boots, jackets, skirts, sweaters and more. Truth be told, they add more sophistication to your outfit than a traditional belt anyway! Add some of these fashionable pieces to your wardrobe to wear to work and special occasions this season. (Featured outfit: Violet's)
	11. Boots Who says you have to wait for snow to start wearing boots? These fashionable pieces come in all shapes and styles. Round-toe or pointed... tall or low... black, brown or gray... orange, pink or red... boots are everywhere this season. Grab a pair for each outfit, and strut your stuff in style this season!
