Style Files: Is Fall 2009 Back to the 80's? Part 5 in a series of 10

#5 Black and White-- a continuing trend from spring, the ever popular black and white has found its way into the fall. The simplicity of black and white this season will be brought to life by patterns and textures that will keep the classic looking fresh.

The top two looks (shown on the left are affordable looks). First we have the black button down shirt with a tiered ruffle trim available on my new fave fashion website http://style-rush.net/. Purchase it now for only $25 at http://style-rush.net/fall-winter-2009/tops-tunics/.

This other affordable buy also comes from Style-Rush, and is the white sheer fan top available for $26 and you can use the link above to purchase it.

The bottom two looks are splurges for this season. The look on the left is by Free People and is the black one shoulder zipper minidress. It is surprisingly machine washable and is available for $128 at Bloomingdale's; pair it with some great shoes and accessories for a chic look.

This last spluge look is available exclusively at Bloomingdale's and is by Aqua. The hooded leather jacket is an essential for fall and has a full zip front with ribbed cuffs and hems for $238. The Aqua boyfriend tee can also be worn with jeans or a mini skirt or leggings as seen here and is $48. Finally to finish off the look are the animal print leggings for $48. Wear them with a pair of boots and you're hot for fall.
