Third, we complemented all of these pieces by adding rose gold jewelry and a sophisticated brown hobo bag. Don't forget to use Bare Escentuals to accentuate your pretty face. Presto!

Menswear is a sharp trend that we women are openly embracing for fall. It's the perfect way to balance out the feminine, slinky vibe of the heels. Start with tapered trousers with pleating detail up top that's hugged by a smart belt and awash in berry tones that allude to autumn. A fun and funky pop of a leopard print and complimentary color like this Emberglow top will grab people's attention. Keep warm and stylish in a 3/4 sleeve boyfriend blazer in black and accessorize with nature's bling: metallics and minerals. A deep burgundy on your lips will finish off this handsome snakeskin-accented look for fall.
