There are some things that we expect from fall: boots, hearty meals, trench coats--but neon and gingham? What a pleasant surprise! (ok, ok, the neon is from Burberry Prorsum's Spring 11 collection... but I'm really feeling it for Fall...give a girl a break!) I've always been a fan of incorporating a pop of bright color into an otherwise neutral ensemble, and Burberry does it perfectly with these brightly belted trenches.
I've also always been a fan of beets (they're the best salad bar add-on in my opinion.) And here the tasty golden beet is to a bowl of pasta as a neon belt is to a trench coat. A pop of exciting taste and color.
But let's not forget about the fall shows (from way back in February-how time flies!). Louis Vuitton's 50's inspiration, Burberry's military style and the layers of textures and pattern at Rag & Bone all bring a lot to the table for fall... (see what I did there? Foodie fashion humor at its best.)
