Spring Fashion Opinion

Spring is finally here! Everyone knows what that means,SHOPPING! With this in mind, let me give you my input on what this seasons trends should be. I think we should start to embrace pastel colored cotten dresses. I have always liked dresses and spring is the best time to wear them. For the accessories, I think pearl necklaces would be very cute with those dresses. Then we get to shoes, you should try kitten heels, cute pair of sandals, or ballet flats. You should also try a lightly coloured cropped sweater. I know a little old fashioned, but when you embrace new style you never know what will happen!

Winter Fashions Flashback

This long cold winter has been, well, long and cold. However, it has been a very fashionable winter. The colours this winter were black, white, and red. When you put them together you could proudly call yourself a true fashionista. The scarves were western scarves; that were paired with tees and tunics. The tops were graphic tees, tunics, and plaid shirts. The hats consited of fedoras, newsboy caps, and chunky berets. My personal faves were the berets. Gloves were long and colourful. Shoes styles were ankle boots, fashion heels, converse, ugg boots, and skater shoes. The must have of this winter were black vests. As you can see, the main style of this winter was a punk rock star look. The decade the clothes were inspired by was the 80's. Overall the winter fashion of "09" was truly a fashion year to remeber. -jEnNiFeR

How to Wear a Necklace or Scarf

I don't know about you , but necklaces and scarves are extremely important when it comes to my wardrobe. Necklaces and scarves can make a dull outfit stand out. How, well, you're about to find out. If you are looking to make a dull outfit shine you must look for colour, shape, size, and originality in a necklace or scarf . Let's say you have a plain purple t-shirt, if you pair that shirt with a chunky yellow neon necklace or yellow scarf , it will look extremely cute. There are so many things you can make very fashionable just by adding a necklace or scarf. Below is a set from my t-shirt example and a set with some really really cute necklaces!
