Style Revival: Loafer Lovin'

Unless you live under a rock, you most likely have noticed that loafers are showing up on every corner of the fashion world. Feet everywhere are embracing the new trend by tromping around in all different styles and colors of loafers. I have too jumped on the bandwagon by purchasing myself a studded pair as well as a leopard pair. I like to think of loafers as a classier flat. It looks a little bit more "professional" and put together. Also, they make it quite easy to add visual or tactile interest to a look. I'm currently obsessed with studded everything, so when I found out that studded loafers were being sold just about everywhere it was like a dream come true.

Loafers are a great way to incorporate color or pattern into an outfit without going overboard. Or if you are less adventurous, you can always go for a classic brown or black loafer. What is really great about this trend is that there is a loafer suitable for everyone! If you want studded turquoise loafers that will make a statement you can get them! I really think I will be wearing loafers everywhere this fall. I like the way they look with a nice colored skinny jean and tailored blazer.  If you want to try out the trend, but don't want to splurge I suggest you check your local target. They have loafers in black, leopard (that's where I got mine), and glittery! How awesome is that! And because it is Target, it is extremely affordable!

Are you going to try out the loafer trend? If so, what color/pattern of loafer are you going to get? Let me know below! :)

That's right, burgundy has been chosen as one of the "it" colors for fall. Many fashion designers have been sending multiple garments in their fall collections in this deep shade down the runway. Personally, I'm disappointed. Fashion designers are supposed to be innovative with their work and inspire us. There is absolutely nothing ground breaking about wearing burgundy in fall. In fact, most people would most likely throw on a burgundy sweater or pair of flats in the fall, regardless of it being the "it" color. Counting burgundy as an "it" color for fall is like saying white is the "it" color for summer. It's old news. I think if they were going to count burgundy as a fall trend, they should pair it with another color, such as perhaps a navy blue or mustard yellow.

So am I going to contribute to this trend? Well of course. I would contribute even if it wasn't a trend because burgundy is a staple fall color. I'm sure even people who are unaware of the trend are going to follow it because it is so unoriginal.

I have absolutely nothing against the color burgundy. In fact I think it's a stunning color that I will most likely take on in the form of skinny jeans or a cardigan. The thing that just angers me a bit is that I really look forward to trying out all the new fall trends and being on top of the fashion world, and with trends as bland as this, there really is nothing special to look forward to slipping into this fall.

How do you feel about burgundy being classified as a trend this fall? Does it disappoint you as well?
