The Snakeskin Skirt

The Snakeskin Skirt
Snakeskin is a star piece for fall and a skirt is a great place to start. There are many animal prints showing up in fall collections, but snakeskin is the most daring, in my opinion. Wear this on bags, shoes and bangles for an extra pop.
Buy this from River Island, $19

A Statement Necklace
Ornate is the word in jewelry this fall, so pick up a statement piece that can carry you from day to night. It doesn't have to be gold like this one from J. Crew, but it has to bring out a big bang! Think gems, heavy chains, layers, knots, and shine!
