I just want to add that I'm super-excited about "Wild West." My cowboy boots will get a resurrection.

Jenn, I am impressed.

Angie, I look forward to your fall trend report and hope to see it soon.

Wow! Great sleuth work Jenn! What is futuristic gloss?! I would never have guessed that!

I love you all.

I am already stocking up on all the true reds coming out. I picked up the new Porter magazine and it has loads of answers. Good job Jenn!!!

Good job Jenn! Looks like an exciting Fall & Winter.

Sound like a great season. I am excited.

Smittie -- I too have noticed all those dark moody florals. They definitely speak to me. I am refreshing my top collection and will certainly be adding in dark moody florals. They may become my "signature" for a while.

YAY, ladies. I like your Fall & Winter wardrobe excitement.

Jenn, you ROCK the Wild West.

Some extra trends in the pipeline too....

Saw a lot of very oversized, very big shoulder sweaters in my retail reconnaissance (online Nordies) this am. Not for me, but others may like it.
The continuation of dark florals does make me happy though, and the "earthy brights" !

We are just coming out of that season and some things are on sale. I didn't see that much red or shocking pink or futuristic gloss here. What I did see was earth tones and high rises. I have spied a beautiful brownish weave merino/acrylic cardigan at half price in the local mall I am considering. I no longer have warm snuggly cardigans and that might fill a hole. Pondering. It would look great on you Jenn or on Style Fan!

Awesome, especially excited about red and plaid for me, and earth tones for my ten year old warm-toned fashionista daughter!

I went back to the mall yesterday Angie and bought the cardigan! Must do a post some time. I was excited to find it was an XS! However it is very oversized. First XS for many decades
