Fresh Picks to Follow: Jumping for Jumpsuits

This week’s Friday Fresh Picks to Follow is inspired by Katie Holmes.  Mrs. Holmes sat front row at MaxMara's Fall 2011 show yesterday during Milan Fashion Week.  She looked beautiful in her asymmetrical MaxMara silk chocolate colored jumpsuit.

Versatile, comfortable and easy to accessorize, jumpsuits are a wardrobe staple suitable for a wide area occasions.  The process of selecting the right jumpsuit depends on a variety of factors such as your body type, the occasion, your budget and your personal style. Ultimately, the key to selecting a jumpsuit that you will love to wear is listening to your instincts.  Do you ladies own a jumpsuit?  I wanted to buy a jumpsuit from Bebe a couple of years ago, but I missed out my size.  I plan to add one to my wardrobe this year.

Are you ladies jumping for joy over jumpsuits or does this oversized onesie freak you out?   Let me know.

New York Fashion Week - Fall 2011

Fall 2011 collections of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York started February 10, 2011 and ended on February 17, 2011 with the L.A.M.B. show by musician and designer Gwen Stefani and Ivana Helsinki’s vision for the upcoming winter. This years shows at Lincoln Center saw over 85 onsite shows, with 16 new designers that showed for the first time, as well as 16 associate members presenting in other locations.

I know that NYFW ended last week and I’m a little late reviewing the fashion, but I still wanted post some of my favorites.  I’ve looked over a ton of pictures from some amazing desighers and I’m very excited for the Fall 2011.   I’ve never been a big fan of the spring and summer fashions.  I know that may sound weird considering I live in Florida right now.  However, I lived up north for the majority of my life, so I’ve always enjoyed cooler weather.  I also think that there are more options for the fall and winter fashions.  Well, without further ado, here are my picks of some cozy fall fashions from my favorite designers.  

Do you have your favorites from NYFW?  Let me know.

Trickle Down the Field

I’m so happy that this week is only a four day work week.  Is it bad that I’m already looking forward to the weekend?  Anyways, I wore this outfit yesterday, but I wasn’t really feeling it.  I think I could have styled it a little differently, but I'm not sure how I would have done it.  Would you have styled this differently? Let me know what you all think…I would love to get some feedback.

Sweater: Banana Republic Cardigan (pretty old)

Shirt: Anthropologie Trickle Down Top

Skirt: Anthropologie Field Skirt

Belt: Anthropologie Cylindrical Braid Belt

Necklace: Pearl Necklace (gifted by my BF)

Shoes: Gianni Bini High Road Heels

Knitting: A Purple Scarf

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I would post a few pictures of the scarf that I knitted for my sister.  I was a little slow with finishing it.  I’m very hopeful that she’ll be able to get a lot of use out of it next year.  Sorry sis that it took so long, but you’ll have something to look forward to next winter.   Yeah! Don't you just love the color?...the purple really pops.  If you want information about the type of yarn that I used or the pattern details, please comment below or send me an email at moodygirlinstyle@yahoo.com.
