Girly-girl cuts are back, which means pretty, feminine colors, lace and lots of ruffles. Fashion blogger and TJ Maxx/Marshall's style expert Audrey McClelland says girls' fashions this fall will feature lots of "ruching, ribbons and anything very feminine and sweet!" Nicholas agrees. "Think sweet ruffles, pinks and creams, anything with flowered embroidery, dresses, flowy skirts and cozy knits." ($40 at J.Crew)
