Posted in dressing for your age, dressing your best, dressing your figure, Jewelry, New Arrivals, new collection, New Collection Launch, product review, Small Business, Trendy at any age, What to wear, women's clothing tips by

As the air turns crisp and fall fashion begins to take center stage, we’re drawn to pieces that bring a quiet kind of luxury — styles that shimmer softly, complement rich autumn hues, and feel just as beautiful for a cozy evening out as they do for a special occasion.


When elegance is what you want and #whenhowyoulookmatters, look no further than our figure flattering dresses from Maggy London. Our Abstract Floral Dress offers an autumn inspired, below the knee, A-line silhouette that moves gracefully. This dress is perfect for professional settings and any event that needs a extra bit of elegance. Style it with our silky soft Pashmina in either rusty red or black for that added layer of sophistication. Finish the look with our HOBO Sable, a genuine leather clutch in Merlot that is designed to hang in the crux of your elbow for hands free convenience.

If you want a bit of holiday, our Maggy London Short Sleeve Draped Waist Dress makes a lovely choice with its teal hammered satin fabric and elegant waist detailing. This dress is ideal for office wear, events, holidays or when you want refined style with metallic interest. Finish the look with our Kendra Scott Bella Collection in gold for an added touch of sparkle.

If you are looking for an elevated evening event, our Maggy London V-Neck Dress with a Ruche Waist, has lovely and sheer long sleeves with a flocked lace pattern. The waist flatters the figure, and the dress is fully lined with an elegant longer skirt. Finish your look with our Kendra Scott Figaro Collection in Emerald Illusion, for the perfect touch of emerald green.

Lastly, our Maggy London Long Sleeve Dress With Pearl and Rhinestone Neck is perfect for wedding guest attire, charity galas or milestone celebrations. The swooped neckline sets off your neck and face, drawing attention upward, and it is perfect with our Kendra Scott Bella Collection in Rhodium to complete the look.

Our Autumn Elegance Collection is a curated selection that features these artfully tailored dresses, graceful accessories, and jewelry that glows with understated sophistication — including one of our favorite highlights, the Kendra Scott Bella Pendant Necklace in Rhodium and White CZ.

A Necklace that Speaks in Sparkle

With its clean lines and luminous sparkle, the Kendra Scott Bella Pendant Necklace adds an effortless touch of grace to any look. Crafted in Rhodium over Brass and finished with White Cubic Zirconia, it shines with just the right balance of brilliance and refinement. The delicate 16″ chain with a 3″ extender ensures a comfortable, adjustable fit, while the petite 0.46″L x 0.45″W pendant adds subtle radiance without overpowering your outfit.

Each piece in the Bella Collection is designed to complement one another beautifully — from the Bella Stud Earrings in Rhodium and White CZ to the Bella Cuff Bracelet. Together, they create a polished look that transitions seamlessly from workday sophistication to evening charm.

Styling Inspiration

We love our Kendra Scott Emerald Illusion collection for the perfect touch of emerald green this season. Pair it with long sleeves, clean silhouettes, and rich seasonal tones. Whether you’re attending a fall wedding, a dinner celebration, or simply want to add sparkle to your weekday wardrobe, the Kendra Scott Bella Collection and Emerald Illusion Collection bring that elevated finishing touch every time.

Explore these pieces and more when you shop the Autumn Elegance Collection — a celebration of refined sparkle, feminine silhouettes, and the kind of confidence that never goes out of style.

Mood-Boosting Outfits for the Between-Season Blues

Mood-Boosting Outfits for the Between-Season Blues

It happens every year… the summer sunshine is still hanging around, but your closet is feeling tired. You’ve worn your favorite summer pieces to death, yet it still feels too warm for full-on fall fashion. This “in-between” season can leave you feeling uninspired when you get dressed—but that’s exactly when the right transitional outfits can give your mood (and your style) a much-needed boost.

The secret? Choose lightweight fabrics in deeper, fall-inspired colors to ease you out of summer and into autumn. Here are some ideas from the shop that I’m loving right now:

These looks are great examples of fall transitional outfits and are from our School Days Style With Democracy and Kendra Scott Collection. See them here: https://fashioncrossroadsinc.com/collections/school-days-styles-with-democracy-08-08-25

1. Darker Neutrals in Breezy Fabrics
Our 100% Cotton and Cotton Blend Foxcroft blouses are the perfect example—light enough to stay cool, but available in richer hues that whisper “fall is coming.” They work for the office, weekends, or travel, and can be dressed up or down.

2. Short Sleeves, Fall Colors
Swap out bright summer shades for earthy tones like olive, rust, deep green, or jewel tones. Our new Scalloped Neck Top from Democracy is a perfect example—it’s short-sleeved for comfort, but the rich color feels fresh for the season ahead.

3. Lightweight Fall Prints
Plaid is a classic fall print, but in a lightweight fabric, it’s perfect for now. The new Charlie B plaid blouse is airy enough for warm days but instantly gives you that autumn look.

4. Sweaters for Cool Nights
It’s already cooling down in the evenings, which makes it the ideal time to start layering. Our 100% Cotton Avalin sweaters (made in the USA!) are light, breathable, and a customer favorite year after year. Pair them with full-length jeans, cropped denim, or even dressy capris for a polished but cozy feel.

5. Add Mood-Boosting Accessories
When in doubt, accessories can completely refresh an outfit you’ve worn all summer. A new scarf in a deep tone, a statement necklace, or a fall-colored handbag can give your look new life. We are loving the bow as a female power symbol this season, and when you have an emotional connection with your jewelry, it can boost your mood. If you haven’t embraced the stacking trend yet, this is also a way to add freshness to your look. Layering necklaces and bracelets is in, and you should mix metals, textures, and types of chains. Similarly, upping your trendiness with accessories must include a statement earring as the finishing touch. Stacked necklaces, bracelets and bold earrings will elevate your style and mood!

6. Play with Layering
A sleeveless summer dress can easily transition into fall by adding a lightweight cardigan, wearing a blouse underneath, or layering a denim vest or sleeveless shirt over the top. This not only gives you new outfit combinations but also stretches your wardrobe further. Make your look more fall by swapping your wedge sandals for shoe boots or trendy tennis shoes.

The “in-between” season doesn’t have to mean style boredom. With the right mix of lightweight fabrics and autumn-inspired colors, you can create looks that lift your mood and make getting dressed exciting again.

See examples of these six ways to chase off those mid-season blues during our Wednesday Wardrobing video which will air at 6 p.m. MST tonight on our Fashion Crossroads Inc. Facebook Page.

Ruffles and Frills: The Feminine Trend Taking Over Spring 2025

If you’re ready to embrace a touch of romance and femininity in your wardrobe this season, look no further than Spring 2025’s most charming trend: Ruffles and Frills. From puffed shoulders to ruched waists and flouncy sleeves, this playful yet polished look is making waves across runways and boutiques—and it’s absolutely wearable at any age.

Why We Love This Trend

Ruffles and frills instantly elevate your outfit with texture, softness, and movement. Whether subtly placed or boldly featured, these details add a stylish flair that flatters and enhances your shape. This trend pairs especially well with spring’s lighter fabrics and softer color palettes.

Key Details to Watch For

  • Puffed Shoulders and Sleeves: A nod to vintage silhouettes, puffed sleeves create shape and draw the eye upward.
  • Ruched Waists: This detail offers a flattering, slimming effect that enhances natural curves.
  • Flounce Sleeves: Feminine and breezy, they bring a graceful feel to any look.
  • Ruffle Details: Whether along the neckline, hemline, or sleeves, ruffles give a fresh, youthful vibe.

Style It Your Way – At Any Age

Don’t be afraid to experiment with this trend. For a youthful yet age-appropriate approach:

  • Pair flouncy tops with structured pants or denim for balance.
  • Layer a ruffled blouse under a tailored blazer for the office.
  • Style puff-sleeve tops with high-rise jeans for an effortlessly chic weekend look.
  • Keep accessories minimal to let the fabric details shine.

Shop The Look

Here are a few of our current boutique favorites that capture the essence of the Ruffles & Frills trend:

  • Tribal Sportswear Ruffle Sleeve Top: Easy to dress up or down, this one is a great wardrobe staple.
  • Democracy Soutache Neck Top: With ruched waist and pleated shoulders, this ultra-soft top is all about feminine charm.
  • Democracy Keyhole Top: Features a soft ruffle at the neckline and delicate sleeve detail.
  • Democracy Crochet Top: The puffed sleeve and A-line silhouette are sweet and sophisticated.
  • Staccato Keyhole Tie Neck Top: Offers a lightweight and flowy feel with subtle ruffle detail.
  • Wishlist Lace Trim Blouse: Romantic and soft with the perfect dose of frill.
