Men have their "March madness" (if you don't know what that means, be glad you don't, trust me) and us girls, we have Fashion Week. Although I like fashion, therefore I like Fashion Week, Fall Fashion Week is always a tough sell for me. It comes just as the weather is getting warmer, as a cruel reminder that the lovely weather is only temporary. I usually go to just one show, so I need to pick carefully. I picked a Monday night show (since its the only night I don't have school) and my choice was Preloved.
I've always loved Preloved. I am a hippie at heart and I really admire how they incorporate sustainability into fashion. They basically take two garments, deconstruct them and then mix this and that to create a completely new dress, or sweater or whatever! Each component is carefully selected and each garment is truly one of a kind.
Their show seduced me into looking forward to Fall. They had me at "FairIsle-leg-warmers-with-Plaid-dresses". These are my favorite looks:

I think this purse is adorable. I want it.

And I absolutely love this look. The tiered high-waisted skirt, the bulky scarve, the whole geeky chic feel. If the look last season was "Rock Glam" the new look coming up is going to be "Geeky Chic". Or at least that's what I'd like it to be.

I also liked their palette of navys, browns and neutrals with a touch of red tones.
Ooohh! I sound like I know what I'm talking about.

I left the show with the undeniable yearning for a pair of FairIsle Leg Warmers to wear with my winter uniform of flowy tunics and leggings, but I also left with the feeling that maybe, just maybe, Winter is not such a bad thing. Happy Fashion Week.

Those leg warmers are to die for. We will be at Joe tonight...
Can't wait to hear all about it!! I know you're a big fan of Joe Fresh. It still kills me that you always get the cutest clothes from there and when I go...nothing! you need to teach me the JF ropes.
