One of my favorite Fall 2009 shoe trends is studs. Studded shoes are on the market now, so I figure why wait until fall? I got these in-store at Aldo for only $59.99. Score!

Tip: When wearing studded shoes, keep your outfit simple and sleek. You may be tempted to rock out and pair your studded shoes with a studded belt or some other rocker chic accessories, but unless you want to end up looking like a 13-year-old walking out of Hot Topic, I recommend a more sophisticated style.

The colors of the high school I went to are brown and gold. I was a varsity cheerleader (obviously) and hated our school colors. I kept thinking that our uniforms would be so much cuter if our colors were red and gold, or blue and silver, or better yet, pink and white. Now that I’m older I can appreciate brown and gold. The combination is warm, calm and happy. And when it’s complemented with a bit of black and white, like in this dress, then it becomes artistic. 

I think I’m ready for a high school reunion.
