[PFC #19] Burgundy and Gothic Lace: Inspired by Fall 2012 Trends

I'm excited to be participating in this month's Petite Fashion Challenge (PFC #19), hosted this month by fellow petite blogger Angie from Pandaphilia.  The theme for this month's challenge is Trend Benders: "Pick your favourite Summer or Fall 2012 trend and make it work for you, whether it's going all-out, incorporating it into a professional outfit or using it in moderation."

For my outfit, I've chosen to incorporate two Fall 2012 trends that I'm particularly excited about: burgundy and gothic-inspired lace.     

Talula Blazer from Aritzia (also loving this one from the Topshop/Nordstrom collection)

xoxo Top (old)

H&M Pleated Skirt (other great picks here and here)

ProMod Wrap Watch from Germany (similar here and here)

Shoes by Connie

Michael Kors Sunglasses

Unbranded Necklace from Taiwan

Chanel Purse

*****

To channel the rich burgundy pieces and gothic-inspired looks gracing the runways, I'm wearing a burgundy blazer, lace top, and a studded wrap watch I bought during a recent trip to Germany.  I've paired these trendy, edgier pieces with some of my favorite classics: a preppy pleated skirt, gray, buttoned peep toe pumps, and my favorite Chanel 2.55 bag.

Which Fall 2012 trends are you most excited about?
