Katherine's Picks: Fall 09 Fashion
A collection of upscale splurges and thrifty thrills is always in line with the WhoWhatWear.com way to build a wardrobe. Of course, while creating the right high-low mix is obviously important, when I知 shopping for a new season, I also keep my eyes peeled for both current and future essentials. For example, while flipping through the racks at my favorite stores, I知 on the hunt for fresh updates of my go-to pieces (like a new version of my favorite t-shirt or a genius pair of jeans). Additionally, I like to look for emerging essentials, those of-the-moment accessories耀uch as a trendy headpiece or a directional jacket葉hat can really elevate everything I already own. I search high and low to curate a stylish spread, and here are a few of my recent finds!
1. H&M Leather Jacket ($179)
2. Proenza Schouler High Heel Lace Up Suede Booties with Hidden Platform
($795)
3. Eugenia Kim Skinny Black Patent Leather Cat Ear Headband ($154)
4. Miu Miu Silk Triangle Bra
($320)
5. Sophomore Leather Skirt ($330)
6. Elizabeth and James Stock Snake Moccasins ($295)
7. Dannijo Jacinda Silver Plated Ring
($85)
8. Current/Elliott Multi Zip Jeans ($246)
9. 291 Tissue Jersey Short Sleeve Scoopneck Tee ($82, 323.944.0018)

$154 for a headband? If I wanted ears for my Halloween costume as a cat, i'll go to the dollar store. I'm all for whimsical headgear, but come on!

The proenza schouler booties are my next season's lust item. Worn with skinny's, layered knits-yummm!

I really love these picks! Triangle bras are an absolute staple for me, and I'm ridiculously obsessed with that sophomore leather skirt! http://fashionhedonism.blogspot.com

You guys need to post things that are realistically priced. I can't afford most of the stuff you post, so I'm forced to skim over things and not really read.

The Miu Miu bra is a jewel. I like the old-fashions of it, the petrol color and the mix of materials.

Dear WhoWhatWear, I love the site, and adore these Fall choices, but as a 20-something student, there is NO WAY I can justify spending $154 dollars on a seasonal, whimsical headband. I understand the value of being able to improvise and make do with generic fashion brands, mixing and matching etc... but why don't you mix and match a little more with the price ranges in your choices?!??!?!

Wow..6000 for a purse. Hey katherine, would you mind paying my tuition fees this semester?

I like them all except the headpiece- something about wearing rabbit/mouse ears is disturbing to me...
