How Would YOU Wear It? Katie Holmes
I'm hesitant to diss Katie Holmes' style because I am of the camp that thinks her fashion sense has grown leaps and bounds post Tom Cruise. That said, simply put, she sometimes dresses too old for her age.
We get it, she has an older man to keep up with, but that doesn't mean she has to dress his age.
Look of the Day: Pretty in Plaid
A traditional trench coat is good, but a pretty in plaid one is Fab. Mstinalin's bold choice of outerwear shows that she's not willing to blend into the crowd. Way to stand out girl!Trend Alert: In the Trenches
One piece of outerwear you will find in every fashion professional's closet is a trench. The trench has been around for ions — and is functional fashion at its best. First created by Thomas Burberry for the British army officers in World War I, the garment kept the troops warm and dry in the trenches.Online Sale Alert! Save at Bebe!
What's a plentiful Fall wardrobe without a classic trench? Seriously lacking, that's what. Trench coats never go out of style, and they're great when not-so-nice weather comes along, as it likes to do around this time of year.

Trend Alert: Cropped Trenches
A little while ago we showed some super fresh Spring trenches. Seeing as how the trench is both a classic and one of the most popular choices for outerwear this season, we are going to be seeing some modernized versions of it. So if you haven't already found that perfect trench maybe go a little avant garde with a cropped trench.
The Look for Less: The Burberry Trench
Burberry is known for its incredibly well-made, chic trench coats, but what's the point if we can't have one (or two or three) in our closets? I purchased a trench a while back, and though it's not a super high fashion designer, it still gives my outfits a sprinkle of sophistication. This Burberry London Windsor Trench Coat, $1,175, definitely commands attention, especially with its signature buttons (sooo Burberry), belted waist and plaid lining.
Come Fab Finding With Me: Dinner With The Ex(!)
DearSugar and I had a recent conversation about what one should wear for a nerve-inducing evening spent going out to dinner with an ex. I experienced this last Fall and I did obsess over what to wear.
Here is a wardrobe Catch 22: you don't want to look too sexy because you don't want to give off the wrong vibe; you don't want to look like crap because you want him to know what he's missing!
