Women's business clothing can incorporate fall fashion trends. Fall 2009 includes reds, jewel tones, grays, leopard prints and other animal prints, and cute hats.
Women's business clothing can include many great fall fashion trends. Fall 2009 beauty includes reds, jewel tones, grays, leopard prints, and hats.
Boomer Chicks will have to brace themselves, so they don’t get inundated with new trends like over-the-knee boots or little-girl ruffles. There are, however, lots of cute trendy pieces that will go to work, on to dinner, and off into the weekend or the wild blue.
Now, more than ever, when money's tight, women need to jump start their basic blacks and boring neutrals. So, here are some ideas under $200 to perk up Boomer Chicks who are living on the measliest of paychecks.
Fall Trends
Some of the 2009 trends that work for adult women are:
RedsJewel TonesGrayCamel (Yes, mother was right.)Leopard (Mother was wrong.)PaisleyHatsWomen's Business Clothing
There are quite a few pitfalls to avoid. Plaid with ruffles may look cute on Cindy Loo Who, but adult women run the risk of looking like ma from Little House on the Prairie. Actually, plaid button-down shirts should be approached with caution, for obvious reasons, although plaid blouses in luxe fabrics and colors can really rock.
Leopard can easily be overdone at work, so make sure animal prints are smart-looking rather than wild. Puff sleeves and ruffles are another potential landmine, but they can be quite flattering when the stars are in alignment and great care is taken. Some of these items are for business casual:
Reds
Most reds should be easy to add to basic black pieces and almost all neutral work wear. Current reds include American Beauty (Pantone Color) and Nancy-Reagan-style power red.

Last loved by Boomer Chicks in the 80s, jewel tone clothing and accessories are finally back. Women should stock up on items in jewel tone fabrics, as there may be another 30-year drought.

Suddenly every shade of gray is hip. It's just a paler form of black, and black is always trendy, whether or not the fashion gods decree it, so gray is beatnik hip. So, wear a gray beret.

Mother was right. A good camel coat will never go out of style.

A little leopard (or other animal print) goes a long way. Think about elegant Old Hollywood movie stars and how they slinked around in leopard prints, and probably real leopard coats, but no one is advocating real leopard.

When purchasing a paisley garment for work, look for a paisley print which is similar, in feel, to a beautiful man's tie. Most of the paisley blouses found online are in horrid color combinations. The best paisley prints usually include jewel tones. Use the beautiful women's paisley scarves at Forzieri.com as reference. See their Basile and Mila Schon scarves for "sehr schon" reference. Designers should do the same.

All it takes is taste. Keep things simple and beautiful. A smart gal doesn’t need a wheelbarrow full of money.
