2011 Fall Wardrobe Inspiration - Vignettes Photography, Tucson's on-location children's photographer

Welcome to the 2011 Fall Fashion Feature! As the Fall/Holiday Sessions kick-off next month, I wanted to give you some ideas for planning your wardrobe.

The three key tips to remember are: layers, texture, accessories.

You can either incorporate all three (as little Taryn above pulls off so beautifully!), or you can focus on just one or two. The images in all four posts of this feature will give you some visuals of wardrobe inspiration, from the three basic tips (layers, texture, accessories), to some color trends, style trends, and unique designers. I will highlight the fashions/styles that are featured in the photos by listing them in bold above each photo, with explanations following.

(Note that all the wardrobes featured in this post were pulled together from what existed in the models' own closets, with the exception of the headbands from Adam's Blankie, which I ordered for this fashion shoot specifically.)

I hope this gets your wheels turning for how to turn what is in your closet into a fashionable wardrobe that suits your personalized photo session with Vignettes Photography!

Layering, color, fun shoes.

An easy way to layer is to incorporate tights or leggings and a sweater. You can pair tights/leggings with a dress (like Isabella, above), a skirt, or a tunic/long shirt (like Taryn, top).

Texture, accessories (headbands!) - headband from Adam's Blankie on Etsy (all kinds of sizes/styles available).

I love this headband with the tulle and fabric rose, and the feather. Great addition of texture!

Texture (pettiskirts!), color.

Pettiskirts are so much fun for little girls! They offer so much texture, and give girls something to do during the shoot (twirl, play ring around the rosie, curtsie), which makes for cute, laughter-filled photos.

Layering, hats, boots, color.

Layering with tights, a skirt, a top, and a jacket (below). Although the colors don't neccessarily completely match (lavender, mauve, beige, light pink, bright pink), they come together cohesively for the overall look.

Texture, accessories.

Headband from Adam's Blankie. The embroidery and ruffle detail on the shirt add great texture.
