Q. Are Ugg
boots still in fashion to wear this fall?
A.Ugg boots
are still a great fashion item, for all those that already own them.
They surely deserve to get the money’s worth by pulling them out
again this fall. However, I wouldn’t recommend in investing in
a pair this year since so many other companies have created their own
knock off versions. If you still want to get the look that a pair of
Uggs might bring to an outfit then try out one of the lower cost look
alikes available at Target, Marshalls or other retailers. This way when
the company launches an updated pair you can get those early and enjoy
the full life of the Ugg trend.

Q.I'm
38, short, and blonde. My 20 reunion is coming and I'm having a fashion
crisis. It's a casual atmosphere so jeans are my first choice. I want
to look younger, put together, and a bit sexy. I have big arms so tanks
are out of the question! Any advice on what to wear?
A.
In most cases jeans are an acceptable item for a casual
affair but in this case you want to make a lasting impression. You can
never be too cautious, in some situations casual usually means business
casual so you don’t want to run the risk of being under dressed
(Nightmare!). My recommendation is a great pair of pants or a skirt
with a fun color top that you would wear to dinner or dancing and layer
that look with a cut away blazer in a cotton, denim or tweed and a cute
pair of stilettos. Make the look extra stylish by adding a brooch to
your lapel or your belt buckle but most importantly have fun!

Q.
My cousin is getting married this fall (Labor Day weekend
to be exact). I have purchased a black dress that I thought would be perfect
for the occasion. However, my mom is appalled that I would want to wear
black to this wedding. As she puts it, a wedding is to be a "happy"
event and she additionally feels that black is seasonably inappropriate.
Is black inappropriate for that time of year? Is it offensive to wear
black to a wedding?
A.Your mother
is right on this one, wearing black is sure to say you have a dark cloud
over your head. It is inappropriate to wear black to a wedding unless
it’s an evening or black tie affair. Besides, Labor Day weekend
may be your last chance to show off your great summer colors so don’t
let it go to waste.
