I don't know about you, but I have always dreamed about one day having a really amazing red dress. Deep, intense shades of red are so beautiful and just seem to say "class and style" to me.
I love the two pieces shown here, especially with the accents of scarves and accessories! If you've got a cool skin tone, go for a purple-ish maroon shade, if you're "warm" go for something with a bit more orange mixed in.
As well as color, different patterns also play a big part in complementing your look. Plaid, as shown here, is always a HUGE trend in fall fashion. To be honest, I think it ends up "quite ugly" quite often. The key to making it work is to keep it simple and sophisticated.

Don't choose a plaid with too many (or strange) colors mixed in and don't wear plaid on both the top and bottom. (It will kill you when you look back on pictures 10 years from now. ;) These two shots are great examples of plaid worn well.
I cannot say enough about the color brown. I consider myself an "brownie", which is a tiny Scottish fairy, and seriously, I need to watch out because this color can overtake my wardrobe! Brown is the "warm" counterpart of black, so pick which one works for you - they are both beautiful and classic!

I have always been leery of polka dots because, like plaid, they are so often done wrong. But don't let that stop you - here is a beautiful example of polka dots done right. When the size and colors are in balance with the rest of your outfit, they can be quite cute. :)
Lastly, we've got two of the colors that everyone is talking about. Yellow and purple. Both have become some of my favorites (although both can be hard to wear). Muted yellows have a subdued cheerfulness to them that is rather catching. The purple, in a deep jewel tone, is strong and trendy, while remaining tasteful and not too bold.

You can see the rest of Talbot's Lookbook here. So, which "fall" shades are your favorites? Do you have anything to share about fall trends I haven't covered? And, lastly, does anyone have tips for wearing plaid and polka dots? ;)
