TOP 5 FASHION TRENDS OF 2011
The leaves are falling, the weather outside is brisk, and winter is coming about. There is a flame waiting to be sparked in our closets! This season’s trends include plays on patterns, prints and various colors. Texture and contrast are also huge factors in creating the perfect day or evening look. Adding these different accent pieces to your outfit can stimulate flair to your ensemble. With a little free time and an eye for great deals you can usually find practically new pieces at your local consignment stores (Trust me I have mastered the art!). One thing a woman adores is to stand out in a crowd. Using your own creativity and fashion sense renders a bold statement without breaking your bank. Also COMFORT IS KEY, I cannot stress that enough. You may have paid the price for those red bottoms but is it really worth the pain of walking on stilts? (Not that I have had the chance to slip into a pair of those, but I’m just saying). While the trends of the season depict simplicity and elegance of the 60’s and 70’s sometimes we have to let the wild side surface! Choker necklaces and cuff bracelets are in this season along with leather bondage accessories. Yes I said it! Although controversial with its sexual stigma, it has found its way onto the runway. So with that said, if you unleash the best don’t down play it! But I digress, here are my top 5:
