Dress Over Pants Redo with Fancy Pants

Didn't even realize it, till I saw these two pictures that the swipe of red in the shoes mirrors the pop of red in the collar. Happy accidents, eh?

Giving it another go of a dress over pants.  Unlike yesterday's longer fuller silhouette seen here, I opted for something more cropped and leaner.  And I have to say, less overall volume and this sheer overlay feels like a more successful strategy for pulling off this trend.  Also, keeping it all in the same color family helps as well. 

On a side note, how do you like my fancy pants? Another fall trend that I'm more on board with. Check out Refinery29's list of options here. 

So, dress over pants--check, fancy pants--checks, pattern-on-pattern-check (see here). What fall trends are you trying out?
