Special Party Dress Codes! + Fair Isle Sweaters And Patterned Knits Are Strong This Fall

Tina, here.

Striped sweaters are apparently trendy this Fall, which is great for those of us who have been hoarding fair isle sweaters for decades. But first, Insiders, you're getting a guide you can download, Premium Download: Brush Up On Party Dress Codes. Click here to reach your exclusive guide.

I typically do at least one post every Fall on my love of fair isle. And this Fall, it's making an impression in more than just sweaters. Like this Ralph Lauren fair isle skirt (similar).

Mine is wool, which really limits its wearability, but this one is cotton! Side note: ankle booties do not look good with skirts or dresses. They turn your legs into tree trunks. So either go for a tall boot or a regular shoe. Case in point:

Which looks better to you? If you can't see it, trust me, the one on the right looks better, (even though the ankle straps are a bit low for my liking). One reason is because the legs look longer.

I'm also obsessed with fair isle sweaters, which are a little easier to find this season. I had one similar to this one years ago (it was probably on the blog multiple times), gave it away in a weak moment, and found this one on eBay. But I've got similar styles for you below. They are in good supply this Fall since they're "having a moment". Someone please tell me where the quotation marks go. I was taught in school that the period ALWAYS goes inside the quotes but have seen it done both ways. Help. KThks.
