Fall Fashion Trend 2010: Peacock

Everywhere I look lately it seems peacock colours and patterns are popping up and many are predicting this to be a big fashion trend this Fall/Autumn. I think the colours of a peacock are beautiful and that if you pick wisely you'll have something that you can wear for many a season not just 2010.

Here's a collection of the best fashion and accessories around the internet right now so that you too can be pretty as a peacock and stand out from the crowd this fall.

A peacock patterned dress can be a real head turner. Try to keep accessories to a minimum and pair with some black or one coloured heels (and if it's cold some sheer tights/stockings) so that your dress is what catches the eye.

Some Dresses I like this season:
*This silk ruffle print dress from ShopStyle for $129,
*This metallic peacock dress from Free People for $138
*This Maggy London Peacock Dress from Nordstrom for $98
*This Boho Tunic Dress from Ecrater for $29 - this would look great with tights and boots

If you're looking for some alternative styling ideas for your peacock dresses try ThisNext which has some great styling tips for this look such as this.

There are some great skirts both short and long out there at the moment. Some are quite beautiful suck as this Chiffon Peacock Print Skirt from Neiman Marcus for $82 or this Pink Tartan Peacock Skirt for $74.98 from SmartBargains.com or this Michael Kors Peacock Print Skirt for $21.99 from Overstock.com. If you like boho style though there are some beautiful skirts on ebay like this one. (Link not provided but seller is gypsycat_0).
