Last weekend I had the chance to attend another fun event that Macy’s was hosting. This time, Celebrity Stylist Lloyd Boston was hosting a fashion show showing off Fall’s Five Fashion Essentials! I had a fantastic time learning about the trends and seeing how I could dress up certain styles.
Fall’s Five Fashion Essentials
Military Jacket – but with a modern and feminine fit! Lloyd thinks everyone should have both a day and evening coat and one of these would be perfect.
Embellished Dresses – Add tights or knee high boots. Make it your own with a belt!
Moto Jacket – Lloyd also suggests not being “matchy matchy” anymore. Don’t be afraid to mix up colors!
Patterned Sweater – Get sweaters that fit! No more boxy and big sweaters.
Oversized Cardigans – Unlike the Patterned Sweaters, this is okay to be big! You can belt it since it’s not over the head.
Lloyd’s last piece of advice? DO NOT show up in traditional red and green colors for the holidays. Dress up in silver, gold and maybe ice blue!
What do you think of Fall’s Five Fashion Essentials?

I attended one with him and loved it too!
Kita says
I do like the sweaters I am a lover of sweaters. I am a lover of knee high boots too I thin I wear it out way too much.
Sippy Cup Mom says
I love sweaters too but haven’t thought about getting any that are patterned. I need a pair of good boots!
Kristin Wheeler (@MamaLuvsBooks) says
Love this! I am so not very fashionable! I need all the ideas I can get!
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell says
The only one I have so far is the oversized sweater but I like them all. I need to go shopping!
valmg @ Mom Knows It All says
I’ve always been a fan of loose and roomy sweaters, I don’t feel comfortable in most “form-fitting” things.
Ange says
Such a fun event!!
Rebecca says
The sweaters are a hit with me – though I do like the jean jacket with the skirt. Classy, but fun.
Mitch says
Gorgeous, and they always have coupons!

Debra says
I’m a big fan of the oversized cardigans, they always make me feel so warm and comfy!
Ashley McLure says
I like my sweaters rather loose as I like to layer them over other things. Though they do fit pretty well when they are layered.
Kristen Jeffery says
I am not a fan of layering but do enjoy the looks of these outfits!
Slap Dash Mom says
OMG do NOT show up to holidays in red and green… that should be a rule EVERYONE knows lol.
Leandrea says
I am so terrible at fashion and I NEED to read more posts like this. I love shopping at Macy’s – that’s for sure! I like the “don’t be too matchy” advicce!
Sippy Cup Mom says
You should check out my post where I listened to Clinton Kelly – he gave great advice too!

Great post!!!! I am not so fashionable so I need to stay on top of the trends otherwise I will be left way behind.
Sindy Murray says
I love the sweater with a panda. I love the military jackets, not much in to fashion but I agree with changing the color for Holidays!
Stacie Connerty says
I have been eying the Red and black Michael Kors dress!!! I love the gold studs, it is so sassy in person. I thinnk I am gonna have to bite the bullet and buy it THEN find some fun event to go to so I can wear it. 🙂
Sippy Cup Mom says
DO IT!!!!! I loved it too.
Latoicha says
Love the patterned sweaters. So my style!
Janet W. says
I like the idea of not wearing traditional red and green for the holidays! I also really like the look of those ankle boots in the last photo.
Ann at Mundane Magic says
Those coats are beautiful. I am about ready to invest in a proper coat. Long, long overdue!
Melissa@stockpilingmoms says
Love the designs 🙂
martha says
i need someone like this to take my hand and help me choose fashion essentials or do it FOR me 🙂
Catherine L. says
I love wearing white to holiday events, but icy blue sounds fabulous. Thanks for sharing Lloyd’s fashion advice.
Victoria says
I am in LOVE with those dresses! The purple one is stunning! I am also admiring those military jackets.
I think my least favorite of the Five Fashion Essentials was the oversized cardigan – that one is horrible. I don’t think it is very flattering to the model’s beautiful shape. It reminds me of a throw blanket.
I will keep remember to stray away from the red and green and reach for the Iced Blue 😉
