Smarty Pants
By now, we're all accustomed to color blocking and mixing patterns. Fall gives permission to go ahead and mix the two. Try it with a preppy collegiate look. This season you'll see contrasting or embellished removable oxford collars (or in this case a menswear bowtie), polka dots to animal prints, black and white combos and rich jewel tones (particularly royal blue). Who says your inner "smarty pants" can't also be fashionably forward?
