September has always been the biggest month in fashion, it marks the end of summer, the return to routine, and forecasts what’s to come in the rest of the year. As the seasons are changing, we start to make the shift from Spring and Summer fashion, to Fall and Winter. September is the time people use fashion to re-invent themselves. 

So what is different about September 2020? For a while we weren’t leaving our homes during quarantine, so for most people, while working from home and only seeing our immediate family, being fashion forward fell to the bottom on our list of priorities. 

Now with fall around the corner, we are focused on staying fashionably chic while wearing our masks and staying socially distant. We asked our favorite local boutique’s to show off stylish fashions that are perfect for you to stay comfortable while still looking your best. 

Jen Gage, owner of Lifestyle Fitness Solutions (lifestylefitnesssolutions.net) was dressed by Laura Rothstein, owner of Lunachick Boutique (both Newtown and Spring House locations are open for business!) 

Jen is rocking the White Hepburn Tank ($59) with the Nate Mineral Wash Pant ($97) both by Michael Lauren. Her Phoebe Denim Jacket by Blank NYC ($89) is perfect for those fall nights. Another Ahdorned bag that is perfect for any occasion - shown is the Vegan Silver Camo Crossbody Bag ($42.)  Fall is also when we start adding in more accessories again - Jen’s Sterling Silver Lock Necklace ($45) is the perfect addition. Jen is also wearing the Rimless Jezbel Sunnies by Quay, ($65.) 

Jen is wearing a Siater Tee, mineral wash by Michael Lauren ($75) with Amelia High Rise Skinny Jeans by Hidden ($86) and Noosa Sunnies by Quay ($55.) Jen’s bag is the Mini Neoprene Crossbody Bag by Ahdorned ($62) with the Zebra Strap, also from Ahdorned ($38.) 

All of Jen’s items can be found in-store at Lunachick Boutique, (10 Swamp Road, Newtown) and on their website shoplunachick.com. Make sure to follow Lunachick on Instagram and Facebook @lunachickboutique. 

Kim Hebron’s attire can be purchased from Kathleen McCafferty at The Pro Shop of Newtown. (26 South State Street, Newtown luxepsn.com) Kim’s tank top is Sweat Tank in black, it’s a performance based, relaxed fit tank made of a breathable mesh fabric so it’s perfect for any workout or for when you’re working from home.  ($54 / available in multiple colors.) 

These high waisted reversible leggings by W.I.T.H. in Dark Navy Tigress/Stone Denim print are ultra breathable and designed with the most flattering fit in mind. They are made from four-way stretch performance fabric to support muscle movement while perfectly sculpting your legs. Moisture wicking and antimicrobial fabric ensure a sweat-free and comfortable workout.

The Toni Tank Kim has on is a sleek, super-comfy, and workout-ready tank from the activewear specialists at Splits59. ($58)

Kim’s leggings are One by One Hand Dyed Legging. The squat proof design that basically gives your legs a hug, makes these NUX leggings one of the Pro Shop’s best-sellers. The moto inspired design elongates the body and the shaped waistband keeps the legging in place. ($114) 

Kim’s bag is Lolë's popular and versatile tote that can be worn over the shoulder or converted into a backpack. This tote features a variety of zippered compartments to help you stay organized. ($88)

Ruth's making a daring impression in her Zimmermann Bellitude mini dress ($995 intermixonline.com) that is tailored in lightweight floral silk crinkle chiffon with a cut-out bodice and back criss-cross straps. 

Ruth’s La DoubleJ Bellini dress Ceramica Arancio ($790 ladoublej.com) gives you the perfect whimsical look for those cool summer nights into fall. Crafted from unlined lightweight cotton voile from Lake Como, this go-anywhere beautiful dress is perfect from morning to cocktail hour, and can be worn with flip flops or a chic sandal.
