I hope you are enjoying this fall forecast series so far :) Fall is definitely my favorite season. All the rich colors and layering just puts a smile on my face. I've got a few more trends to spotlight and then we will start something new. Today's fall forecast is all about a minimalistic chic look.

Minimalistic chic
If sophistication is the look you strive for then I think this is a trend you will most likely try out this season. Refine your style by choosing clothes that have clean silhouettes and look very modern. The colors you will go for will be those found in the natural palate. Greys, creams, browns...I think you get the idea. Now most of us won't have the money to wear the exact styles the magazines deem "minimalistic chic" so I'm going to show you an affordable option that Alibi Boutique has. The whole idea is based around the less is more approach. 

Less Is More

Top: $64
Bottoms: $74
Purse: $58
Bracelet: $130

I think this outfit is a nice variation of this trend. She has some accessories but they are kept rather simple and help to create this effortless look. This top is great because you can dress it up with these IT jeggings and maybe some Steve Madden pumps or you could dress it down with some CULT skinnies and some cute TOMS flats. It looks like it may even be long enough to just through on with some leggings. The black and cream in general just creates a very classic look. Textured accessories are also a big part of this trend and the flap on this cross-body achieves that perfectly. I don't know about you, but I always have to have at least 1 bracelet on my wrist or I feel naked. This Kendra Scott Cassie bracelet is a great statement piece when you know it is going to be the only jewelry you will be wearing for an outfit. It is kind of chunky so it catches your eye, but it doesn't take away from the outfit itself.

Stop by Alibi today and see what other items we have that correspond with this trend. Our awesome staff would love to help you pick out an outfit that is made just for you :)

Less is more....yes or no??

XOXO Alibi
