Add a Little Preppy, Geeky, and Rebel Style to Your Life (thefind Guest Post)

by Julia DiNardo

From our friends at thefind.com:
Remember when we were younger, and the movie Clueless came out, preppy chic took over our closets in a nanosecond. We flocked to the stores to grab knee-highs and pleated skirts, and to this day we still can’t get enough of a classic cardigan. It looks like the preppy trend is coming back strong. But instead of the rich-girl, high society influence that the character’s Cher and Dionne were back in the 90’s, this time around, “preppy chic” is modernly mixed in with a little”geek chic” and “rebel style.” The trendsetters of today are adding chunky glasses, mis-matched patterns and plaids, thick doc marten-like boots, and huge industrial satchels to the mix to redefine the trend to perfectly fit the 21st Century. Just think leathers, thick textures, geeky eyewear, and classic, cool footwear. Head over to your favorite vintage store, too, to find one of a kind pieces to add an exclusive addition no matter where your mood takes you. Complete your look instantly with these cool finds:  MIA Women’s Nolan Platform Loafer, Vanessa Bruno Athea Leather Trimmed Skirt in Black, and Vintage Large Wayfarer Glasses in Black/Clear.

Minimalist Gray Dresses for Maximum Impact

by fashionpulse

Via our friends at thefind.com:

Gray is the go to color for the minimalist look this fall. Gray is a neutral that will give you maximum impact when detailed with pleats, draping, gathering and other sculptural elements. We love all of the options for gray dressing this fall. Minimalist sculptural gray dresses and coats work well with the black leggings, tights and super skinny jeans you already own. Black works well, but you can also get daring by partnering gray with primaries such as red, royal blue and yellow. Or go with a monochromatic look with various shades of gray. One of our editors’ favorites is the Marc Jacobs sweatshirt dress. This dress totally reminds us of the Norma Kamali huge shoulder padded dresses of the ’80s! The RM by Roland Mouret coat is a classic that you can wear for many seasons. Mouret is a true artist when it comes to draping and minimalist statement dressing. The coat reminds me of my warmest winter Hussein Chalayan coat from my favorite store, Workshop, in San Francisco. Go ahead and go neutral this fall and stock up on this wardrobe staple.

Will you be buying into the gray trend for fall? Let us know in comments!
