Fall Essentials 2009: Patterned Tights
Patterned tights were all over the runways during the fall shows earlier this year. So fashionable yet simplistic, putting on a pair with your outfit will add instant style. In showstopping shades or textured fabrics, this season, tights have become just as important as shoes and handbags when it comes to accessorizing your look.

Fall Essentials 2009: Sweater Dress
The sweater dress is to a fashionista, what a t-shirt and jeans are to a debonair dude — it is this season’s versatile, go-to clothing item.
If you’re pressed for time and need to look chic on the fly, throw one on with a pair of graphic print tights, bold accessories and some towering heels. Or if you’re keeping it casual (but still want to show off a great sense of style), wear your sweater dress with skinny jeans or leggings, flat booties and a slouchy tote.

Window Shopping
Fall’s chill is in the air and that means it’s time to break out the lush layers and textures. Pair a delicate silk top with trouser pants in a heavier fabric. To finish it off, throw on a trendy pair of booties for some flair. Add a chic satchel, some jewelry — and you’ve got the quintessential office chic look.
