Every season there are new Fashion trends to follow. New IT colors, new themes, new styles, etc. What’s a busy stylish gal to do to keep up with it all? Every three months and new trends to adapt to? Oy!
Now, to set your fears aside, I’m going to explain to you why you can stop your worrying. Perhaps because I’m a personal stylist with an emphasis on STYLE, but I’ve never really bought into trends. For one, I’m not a beanpole. I can’t wear just anything the way those runway models can. Real Women have Curves and I’m one of those women. And I embrace it. Fully. And if you are a beanpole, you probably wear your clothes so as to give you more shape (you are if I’m working with you, at least). For instance, it took me a full year to buy into the skinny jean. Before that, I was wholeheartedly against it. Why did I eventually buy into it? For two reasons … 1) It morphed from a trend item to a closet staple. They’ve been around for years now, so you have a ton of designer creating their own versions. 2) I found my fit. Again, I’ve got curves, so I had to find something that would compliment them and not exaggerate them. My perfect pair were fitted and slim to balance the voluminous tops, a dark wash and more of a straight leg than a really skinny leg. Also, Fashion Trends are no different than business trends. They follow a cycle. It all starts with Designers debuting a collection with a few ‘new’ key items and styles (these are the trends) and a few key people pick up on these ideas and start the trend on the streets. About a year later, more designers have picked up on the trends making it more mainstream so more people are following it. The trend ‘dies’ … onlyto come back three (or ten) years later. For instance, Cargo Pants are now making a huge comeback though this time around they’re a lot sleeker and sophisticated. I’ve even seen some people wearing Overalls. Some more subtle trends we’re seeing again (from only 2 years ago): Ikat and Tribal Prints, Military influence, Romantic Flourishes aka Lingerie Inspired, etc. Moral of the story? Trends come and go, but style is eternal. |

Yea, we all have those days. It’s time to get out the door, but putting on anything other than yoga pants and a tee seems unbearable. I know the feeling too!
Personally, my style changes with my mood. I think most of us busy women are like that. I can be totally sophisticated in a fabulous Jackie O kind of way, or I can get totally funky with a little inspiration from Beyonce. But my style did evolve from the tee shirt and jeans look.
More specifically, the cute tee shirt with designer jeans look.
Hey! We’ve all got to start somewhere! However, I do still love this classic look for its ease and it’s comfort.
But now that we’re busy professional women with a brand image to uphold, we need to kick it up a notch. The best part … you’ll still be super comfortable, yet you’ll also feel a hundred times better (and a bit fancy!).
HOW??
It’s so simple: colorful and fun accessories. JEWELRY!
Didn’t your mom always ask you to put on earrings before heading out the door? Or a necklace? Mine did and I always thought it was SO annoying. Until I realized, as usual, she was right! Because they instantly dress up your face and your look as a whole.
Mom is so smart!
Here are some of my faves from Amrita Singh I actually found on Hautelook, but her site is having an AMAZING sale!
-
- Even with a white tee and jeans, this ring POPS the outfit. Would definitely want a pair of earrings to complete the accessorized look.
-
- Instantly brighten your face with playful and bright earrings. Especially in a color that compliments your skin tone and/or your mood.
-
- I love just throwing on some bangles to complete a look. So simple, yet POP there’s the color!
Stay tuned for more ways to update this favorite look!
