What fashion items can’t you live without?
Hosts of TLC's "What Not to Wear," style gurus, Stacy London and Clinton Kelly will offer expert advice to a couple in New York City, including a shopping spree and a meet 'n greet with a member of the What Not To Wear team. Register for the sweepstakes and good luck.
Red and plum are in this fall, and I plan to use them with my basic black and grey wardrobe to brighten things up. I also plan to add some of the rich and exotic, such as shining fabrics, ornate embellishments, sequins, and animal prints, to make any outfit instantly festive and seductive. But, it's back to basics for me.
I must have a few pieces this fall that I can't live without.
- Boots and embellished metallic flats should do me well in the footwear department
- Leather and trench coats are always required
- White shirts and black silk tops are basic
- Relaxed flare-leg trousers and jeans so they're comfortable and I can go anywhere
- And I am adding a new cardigan to my wardrobe this year
If you would like a little extra to spend during the Shop Smart event at malls between September 17 and 20, go to the mall and get a $10 gift card. All you have to do is shop for the things you need like back to school clothes for the kids or fall fashions for yourself, it's your choice.

Maybe these are obvious to you. Maybe not. These are universal truths from your friends at TLC and What Not To Wear.
- DO wear sparkle during the day, but keep it to a minimum, to avoid looking like a walking disco ball.
- DO wear leather and suede in lighter weights and colors for summer. Pair a leather skirt and tank top, or a suede shirt with jeans and sandals for a fun twist to summer style.
- If you've gained weight, DON'T ever try to stuff yourself into clothes that don't fit. It will be like trying to zip a suitcase that’s way too full!
- DO wear white shoes after Labor Day.
- DON'T even think about wearing a mini skirt if you’re over 35. There are other ways to show off your legs and your personality.
- DON'T wear white to someone else's wedding! Steal the spotlight from the bride and you'll be the one with cake on your face.
- DON'T wear reinforced-toe pantyhose with open-toed shoes.
- DO mix stripes and plaids. One pattern should always take priority over the other. If they’re equally loud, you’re going to stick out like a sore thumb!
- DO wear maternity clothes if you are pregnant, and get the full mommy experience. You want to be comfortable while you’re pregnant and non-maternity clothes will be tight-fitting in all the wrong places.
- DO wear a suit to a job interview. Show ‘em what you’re all about with killer jewelry and shoes.
