After a long summer hiatus - the Style Muse is back and ready to get down to business! I'm glad to see that in my time away not too much has changed - miraculously one-shoulders are still in, black&white, and animals are circling the subway - you know the drill.But there are subtle differences to the upcoming season as there are every season, which require us to update our wardrobes and pick key pieces to keep us looking fresh and feeling better. So, after trying my best to show restraint shopping this summer, I can indulge in so much needed retail therapy without the guilt!
Even if it has been some time since we have stepped foot in a classroom, we can still remember what it was like to get the mail with our new teacher, class list or syllabus, buying our back-to-school pencil box and matching bowl cut (wait was that just me?). Even if the clock restarts on January 1 for many of us it will always be September with the changing air and feeling that you have a new start - so to that end I'll be scouring the sales and new trends to find the best deals to put your best foot forward this season.
As a start, here's a skirt that I found that will not break the bank but fulfill the much needed animal print for the season. For those of you like Sister Muse 2 that can't see themselves in such a print, try incorporating the spotted trend in small ways such as shoes (flats, pumps, but please not boots) or a skinny belt, handbag etc.
Go gett'em tiger (or leopard or zebra)...
