Fashion Trend Dos & Don'ts

Fashion trends, the truth can be found in its title.  Trends are just that, nothing to live by, but it's a nice quick fresh jump added to your wardrobe.  Staples are classics and not to be confused with trendy pieces.

First trending rule is every style isn't for you.  As soon as you accept that life will go smoother.  It's smart to be aware of all the latest looks, but always keep in mind your body type, age and overall fashion sense.  Clothing is supposed to be comfortable, liberating and fun.  Ask yourself if you'll feel good wearing this new clothing.  Does it send the message you want?

Some trends to pay attention to are jean jackets, big and belly tops, printed leggings, feathers, big totes and big bows.


Dos - Jean Jackets are back and strong.  There are several designs out there so pick the one that works best for you.  Big Tops are also in...thank God!  This is great for those who have a little to hide, but don't over do it.  Pick the right size (not to big) so you are not swimming in it, which draws more attraction.  Printed Leggings, the new way, with words!  The Urban 1972 leggings found at urban1972.com are so cute! Feathers, a strategic feather never hurt anybody and I'm loving feather earrings.  It doesn't matter if it's one sided or both.  Totes, the bigger the better and spice it up!

Don'ts - Belly Tops, regardless of your size this has been done to death and often doesn't look like fashion.  It tends to be more like a quick unwanted flash.  Printed Leggings, animal printed leggings are happily over.  Last, Big Hair Bows, this is a never.  Unless you have one of those I can wear anything faces that most people don't have, don't do it.  They have a mysterious Betty Boop appeal that isn't pleasant.

In the end, the only thing that is important in fashion is you.  So, agree or disagree, be yourself and have a ball!
