It's versatile, light, and super cute. The front is obviously shorter than the back but it is more flattering when it's not too short in the front. Closer to the knee (about 2 to 3 inches above the knee) is appropriate at any age. Try it on before buying. I bought a few from Target and only kept one because the others didn't fit the same although they were the same size. Bummer though because one print was super cute but the coral was a keeper! The skirt can be turned so that the short side is on either side (right or left) and this gives an asymmetrical hem line. Here are a FEW examples and places to find it if you like this trendy item and there is always Google... :)
Urban Outfitters
Target
Bloomingdales
PacSun
GoJane
Yellow!!!!!
So, yellow is classic, of course, but it's also a "trend" for Spring/Summer 2012....
The Chain Headband
Kourtney wore it best..in my opinion so that's why she's the only one featured here...
Bright Colors
Yes...Yellow may fall into this category sometimes but when I say BRIGHT COLORS...you know what I mean...
....that's what I mean.The truth is....bright colors are always in but many won't wear them until they are trending so this spring and summer... you have your opportunity....
This pink bag (below) is adorable. Buy a bright handbag and wear it all year round.
You can pair colors together which is called color blocking. This was a trend at the end of last year but that doesn't mean it can't find it's way into this year. My faves are: turquoise/purple/green, pink/orange, orange/purple, or yellow/blue. Whatever you choose...wear it with confidence. :)
I personally wear what I want regardless of trends because I usually have my own trends. I like some things for a few weeks and some things I like for years but they most often have nothing to do with what is trendy. Set your own trends....never follow the crowd. Also, not everything looks good on everyone so if you can't make that decision on your own, take an honest friend with you when you try on things or to critique you before you go out.
CLASSICS....
Basic colored garments (white, black, navy, grey, etc.) will never go "out of style" and they are a necessity for any wardrobe. Many runway collections for this spring have made the basics the foundation for their pieces and added texture or embellishments to stand out from the competition.
DVF Spring 2012
Chanel Spring/Summer 2012
Rachel Roy Spring 2012
Balmain's Spring 2012 collection (by 25 year old Olivier Rousteing!!) is an example of basic colors being used as the foundation for a collection. The added texture and embellishment are what most certainly sets the collection apart. There is a western/rock influence with a little boho (with the long denim skirts).....I thoroughly enjoy it!!
This dress was one of my favorites so that's why it's on here twice!
A denim skirt that I would definitely wear.
To mix things up a little, as Marc Jacobs always does, the Louis Vuitton collection has added texture and pastel accents that are done in an ombre fashion. Although the collection is not my favorite, I appreciate the art, structure, and creativity.
Kate Moss wore the best piece in the collection....
BCBG Max Azria used several different textures and fabrics to create a simple, but still unique, basic colored collection.
More to come....Thanks for stopping by!! :)
