Fashion Merchandising

When I was a little girl standing on the cold, cold corner waiting for the big, yellow (cheese) bus, I never understood why my mother made me wear Long Johns (commonly known as Thermals for all you folks that don’t know what i’m talking about) under my cute outfits. They were annoying, clashed with my get-up, and they often kept me a little too warm. Twenty some odd years later, I pay homage to those Long Johns and to my mom for making me wear them.
As the Buffalo weather begins to turn predictably unpredictable, a couple of you have expressed concerns about what to wear and how to stay stylish during the cold Fall and Winter seasons. Well, my answer is Layer, Layer, Layer!!!!!!! As we have seen on the runways during Fashion Week this past Spring, the look for Fall according to Marc Jacobs and others, is to throw on as much as you could possibly fit onto your frame while maintaining that fabulous fashion glow! The good thing about this trend is that it allows for the removal of clothes to fit each event in your oh so hectic day. So, if you need that Cami for a dinner party at 7, hide it during the work day under a nice belted cardigan or turtle neck with opaque tights or leggings under a pencil skirt. Or why not lose those trouser pants you wore to work with an oversized v-neck sweater and platforms, throw on a belt, add some opaque tights and head out for an evening with friends. The key here is to make your wardobe of not so nippy Fall to bitter Winter as week-day to weekend friendly as possible.
So if your not looking to put away your sizzling Summer tops, you don’t have to, just layer them away!
Thanks for your questions, keep them coming!
