So my roommate and I decided to go shopping to update our wardrobes for spring/summer...because in Florida it's practically all the same. There are definitely some fashion trends that we spotted throughout the mall. Some we loved and other not so much. One of my favorite trends is the fit and flare dresses! They are a great mix of form fitting and flirty movement. These dresses give an illusion of small waist and long legs. So for all of us body conscious girls out there... this is a perfect way to create some curves. I also love the fact that it is a retro classic coming back. Fashion can be so cool that way. These dresses look great it solids and patterns! Zooey Deschanel is probably my FAVORITE actress that pulls this look off...


Another trend that I can't get away from is red. Red pieces as a pop of color is the perfect way to bring color to your outfit. Some even say that pairing different shades of red together is a new fashion statement. That includes blue red with orange reds. So start popping!
But, you know what, COLOR is a trend all on its own! So bring out as many colors as you can and start painting your wardrobe. Also, don't forget you can mix colors and don't be afraid to have multiple colors in your outfits. Some ideas for colorful pieces include jeans, jackets, Purses, shoes, and accessories (of course). Make sure to pay attention to your skin tone though. Hold up the color to you face in the mirror and make sure it enhances your tone and does not turns you sallow or red. I know there is no way I can wear mustard (the color not the food) unless I am working a hard core tan. So don't overlook that point.
