It’s time for another edition of Everything I Know About Fashion Trends I Learned From A Blog Buried In The Recesses Of An Unfashionable Suburb, fall edition! Shall we?

But since Bossy is on a tight budget, where tight equals she’s stuck wearing her tight t-shirts even though tight is so 2009, Bossy is looking to these this fall to solve her fashion dilemma:

Bossy can sum up her autumn fashion look in this way: Outdated jeans, shirts, holey sweater, but marvelous footwear excuses a lot.
Which is what today’s Ten-Word Tuesday is all about. In exactly ten words, can you tell Bossy about the Fall 2010 trend items you wish you could buy, or the way you’re dealing with the inability to purchase these things?
And be sure to check back later today for the best trend suggestions on the web.
