Sofia Coppola’s flick "Marie Antoinette" is being released at the perfect time to inspire a fabulously rich and over-the-top Halloween costume. The Queen of France was, after all, one of the most stylish royal icons of her time. In the interest of practicality, we decided to modernize Queen Antoinette’s look just a tad–the gigantic skirt poufed with yards of tulle probably isn’t the look you’re going for. But if the Halloween look you’re after is sophisticated and of-the-moment, Queen Marie Antoinette is the way to go.
"A Modern Marie Antoinette" Fashion Formula = Platinum Wig + Pearl Choker + Satin and Lace Corset + Bubble Skirt + White Leggings + Hand Fan.

We asked: Are Layered Necklaces In or Out?
You said: Layered Necklaces are still In. 58% are still all over this trend, while 14% think they’re Out. The remaining 28% think this jewelry trend is On the Way Out.
Omiru’s take: We love the drama that Layered Necklaces create for an outfit. With the ability to take a simple outfit from vanilla to cookies & cream, Layered Necklaces are an essential in this era of mannered, ladylike dressing to give outfits a bit more flavor. In order to take full advantage of this jewelry trend, we recommend pairing necklaces with compatible colors but wildly different textures.
Next Question: Striped Tops are on one hand a figure flattery liability (the wrong sized or placed stripes can make you look like you took a few too many sweets from the cookie jar) and on the other hand a fashion trend that’s all over the stores. But what do you
think? Tell us, are Striped Tops In, or are they Out? Cast your
vote on the sidebar!

We asked: Are Dresses with Pockets In or Out?
You said:They’re In! 72% of you voted these functional fashions In, and only 20% voted them Out. The remaining 8% voted Dresses with Pockets On the Way Out.
Omiru’s take: Dresses are The Hot Silhouette for Fall, so it pleases us that you appreciate the combination of fashion and function as much as we do. This trend has been floating around for awhile; we first reported on Dresses with Pockets back in February. But though the trend has been in circulation for months, it’s far from falling from favor. Wear Dresses with Pockets to work, paired with a blouse (pictured). Or wear the trend to your next evening Gala. Amy Adams and Maggie Gyllenhall, and Sandra Bullock all sported pocketed styles at the Emmys! What could be chicer?
Next Question: As Summer fades into Fall, we’re switching out our sandals for boots. Tall boots. But what do you
think? Tell us, are Tall Boots In, or are they Out? Cast your
vote on the sidebar!

Even if you’re not enrolled in school, you can still look like a fashionable school-girl with the right outfit. Since you’d rather look like you’re heading to lunch than the library, pair your mini plaid jumper with chunky pumps instead of flats. And if you want to avoid looking like Britney Spears in her "Baby One More Time" video, stay far away from tummy-revealing tops by choosing a turtleneck instead. Soon, you’ll be the most stylish gal on campus - er, street.
Frenchi Puff Sleeve Turtleneck | $40 at Nordstrom
