Look of the Day: Risky Business

I am totally drooling over this look from Fab reader atlanticpacific — she gets major style points for taking risks, playing with height, and adding some retro edge to her ensemble.

I am totally drooling over this look from Fab reader atlanticpacific — she gets major style points for taking risks, playing with height, and adding some retro edge to her ensemble. She rocked a pair of skinny cropped trousers with an elongating vertical stripe, a slouchy plaid button-up, and gray suede heels. She accessorized her cool look with a chunky gold chain and a chic stack of bangles. It's a great example of going out on a limb with your look.

Congrats to atlanticpacific!

Look of the Day: Mad For Plaid

Fall is in full swing, and this crisp and cute look from Fab reader fashionfou made me all warm and toasty inside!

Fall is in full swing, and this crisp and cute look from Fab reader fashionfou made me all warm and toasty inside! I love how she paired a slouchy mad for plaid top with pin-thin jeans and chunky black clogs — and the caramel-colored faux-fur coat is great to have on-hand in case of a sudden drop in temperature.

Congrats to fashionfou!

Cheap & Chic: Plaid Button-Downs

We can all agree that $250 for a plaid button-down top is too much.

We can all agree that $250 for a plaid button-down top is too much. Such was the case with Lauren Conrad's cute, albeit overpriced, Elizabeth and James shirt. Alas, plaid is already on the move to becoming a Fall frenzy, so get ahead of the trend on the cheap. I do, however, recommend teaming your plaid shirt with foxy high heels a la LC — this takes the look from totally geek to totally chic.
