We've been reading our September issues (and October, and November by now; but no matter) diligently, I'm sure, and can probably all recite the big trends for fall and winter of this year: jewel tones, stacked-heel boots, edited 70s-boho, Yves Klein blue (!), etc. etc.
That's all well and good, and a springboard to be sure, but I thought I'd put together my own list of inspirations for the fall, some of the pieces and people and ideas that make me excited to get dressed this season.
• Tailored shorts with tights. Also warm, buttery tans and browns paired with gray.
• Prince's snow-white coat in his video for "The Morning Papers," massive shoulderpads and all.
• Bone- and skeleton-inspired jewelry.
• Lake Bell's character Rachel in How to Make It In America, for her hip-nerd, thrown-on chic.
