"September is the January in fashion." – Candy Pratts Price This fall, however, boots are creeping back up legs with knee-high boots and more over-the-knee boots as well. If done right, knee-high boots can create a nice leglengthening illusion. Boots that hit at a skinnier part of your leg, like your knee as opposed to your calf, can also make your legs appear slimmer! (Note: If you are on the short side, over-the-knee boots might overwhelm your frame, depending on the fit.) CHIC SWEATSHIRTS There are a couple of options with this look. 1) If you are going to opt for a plain, old sweatshirt, dress it up with the rest of your outfit. Wear a crisp, preppy collared shirt underneath it with a pair of nice slacks for weekend errands. Pair it with a playful skirt and heels. One look I love is to pair it with printed pants and an oversized clutch. Bottom line: Pair it with something more ladylike and fitted to balance out the slouchier feel of the sweatshirt. 2) The other option is to opt for a sweatshirt that is already a statement piece on its own. Some of the popular statement sweatshirts you'll be seeing include interesting prints and detailed embroidering. Although this trend debuted in the spring, by the time temperatures warmed up the look faded away. But it will be back with gusto this fall.

Macon Mag ad.indd 1 AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2013 Football & fall fashion Pick your football style and keep up fall fashion trends As fall approaches we all have one thing on our mind: football. Mercer's reborn football program makes local football more exciting than ever. Have you planned out your Saturday attire? Orange and black are, of course, the only way to go at these games, but what style is your football fashion? Which football fashion category do you fall into? Logo yolo. You like to wear official sportswear from your team, with the logo loud and proud. From your cap to your shoelaces, you love to rep your team with the official look. Prep don't fret. For the gents, you've got a bow tie. For the ladies you're wearing your favorite sundress and sandals. You might even wear a coordinating hat on especially sunny Saturdays. Color me pretty. You wear your team's colors from head to toe. Flashy logos aren't your style, but there is no question about which team you're rooting for. For the gents you probably have a couple of tried and true solid polos that you wear to every game. Ladies have a closet full of separates in your team's colors.
