I have spent the weekend at the conference and I just loved seeing all the different styles and personalities that were present. When you get a bunch of jewelry ladies together- it is hard not to talk fashion and here’s what came out of that.
Girls like sparkly things. Maybe it isn’t your personal style to wear it, but we’re drawn to it like a moth to a flame, or more apt, like a little girl to glitter! There was a dazzling array of crystals, rhinestones, sequins, and other unnamed sparkle that just delighted the eye. I noticed that even the ladies who have an understated style still stepped out with a subtle shine, the gray sweater with a sparkly thread running here or there.
And, based on what I saw most, the trend of lacey clothing is here for a while yet. Paired with a no nonsense pair of slacks, or a more ultra feminine look over a frothy skirt, the lace overlook is super stylish right now.
Of course, you’ve got to have a good pair of boots and now, the higher they go the better! However ladies, fishing hip waders are NOT a fashion statement! Leave those in the garage for your husband’s next trip.
As for accessories, there were all kinds of bright bold handbags, the most popular kind seemed to be the faux croc with flower accents. Mostly large bags, because we know the bigger the bag, the smaller the booty!
Another noticeable trend was intricate, fashion head bands. There were as many different kinds as women, but one consistent detail was flowers. Headbands are great for reigning in those wayward hairs, keeping that style in place, and of course, just adding a punch of style to an otherwise unremarkable outfit. That is my favorite thing about accessories, you don’t have to have a crazy super trendy wardrobe- style comes from what you do WITH it!
Last but certainly not least noticeable trend was the tights. Bold patterned, solid colors, thick, thin, it was all represented. Pair the tights with a tunic, cowl neck sweater, or dress and you’ve taken your look to the next level, and on par with current trends.
What trends have you noticed while out and about?
So I stumbled across your blog via LinkedIn :) Which is a way of introduction, I suppose :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with all your trends listed in this post. I personally love bold tights and lace this season - I'm trying to implement both into my wardrobe this winter. In fact, I just bought some red tights at express (I've wanted red tights for awhile, except they're extremely hard to find without paying a lot) and a pair of lacy gloves from forever 21 and a grey lace shirt from charlotte russe - cheap ways of implementing trends - perfect for a college student :)
and I so agree with the hairband trend! it's certainly been growing! :) and sequins :) etsy has some really beautiful head bands handmade! :)
