Okay so here is our picture of the day. These are the fall 2013 trends for New York Fashion Week. This is my take on the whole fashion week thing: so wow this is all really cool and these clothes look so awesome on the models and gosh they are just so stylish and expensive looking. But wait a minute...I'm pretty sure I could never afford any of the clothes in this picture (and if I took enough time to save up the money they would no longer be in season..) and  I could definitely never see myself working up the courage to wear any of these items to work or school so I ask myself "why am I so intrigued by something I will probably never own and never be able to wear?" my answer to this very important question is...I don't know... But then again why strive for something that is not likely to happen (in this case owning high class couture clothing) when you can adapt these styles into your everyday fall outfits with pieces you already own. Ah Ha! Okay now that I have your attention, lets get into the juicy details. First on our list is Animal Prints, this look could be achieved merely by pairing your favorite pair of skinny jeans with your classic, chic black blouse; your cheetah print flats; and a chunky necklace- affordable, stylish, and up to par with the 2013 trends! Next we have Floral. A floral print dress at Target or H&M for about $20 would fit perfectly in this category and to spice things up a bit you could always pair it with a cute belt that you already own. Now it is time for my favorite category, Gold, alright so this one may be a little more tricky. Now assuming that you're like me and you only have so much money to spend on clothes each month, your wad of cash for this month's shopping may be going down sooner than you thought. An affordable way to accomplish this trend would be to buy some gold accessories; such as a gold bangle and a statement necklace. Now we are on to the Earthy trend, my opinion is that this trend is one of the easier ones to incorporate into your daily outfits. A simple outfit of a grey dress with some nude heels and curled hair would be perfect. So next is Fur...achieving the fur trend is a little harder than I would have imagined, however it is definitely achievable. For starters I would just like to let everyone know that I do love animals and I am not an animal killer so I would opt for the faux fur vest which you could wear with black pants. Finally we have Shoulders, (what is this the 80s? Ha) okay so one thing to remember when wearing a jacket with built-in shoulders is to make sure it flatters your body, the last thing you want to do is make yourself resemble a large, stocky man. Anyways, here is how you achieve this look; a sleek hairdo, black leggings, and a colorful jacket with your ever so lovely structured shoulders. I want you to know that whatever  you decide to do with these trends is your choice. Just remember that when you're wearing them make sure you're walking with confidence and rocking it like it's nobody's business.
