Three Clothing Pieces I Wish I Had

I don't think there is any girl out there that doesn't want more money to spend on clothes.  However, without a doubt, there are probably a few things out there that I will always want.  Here are just a few of my dream closet occupants.

Valentino $945 

Burberry $995 

Prada $2,950

Maybe one day these fabulous items will find their way into my closet!

Stylish Sweatshirts

It's officially fall.  The weather is so unpredictable.  One day it's ninety degrees and the next day it's only fifty degrees.  During this transition from summer to winter, it is important to invest in some sweatshirts or jackets.  When most people think of sweatshirts, they think of those ugly ones that you pick up from the side of the road for a camping trip.  Lucky for us, there is a fashionable path for everything.  Here are just a few of my favorite sweatshirt styles for this fall.

Are you excited for sweatshirt weather?

Swimming in Sweaters

It's that time of year again.  When we all go out and buy an overabundance of sweaters.  Yes, it's definitely autumn.  Sweaters come in so many different styles.  You can buy cashmere pull over sweaters, knit pullovers, sweatshirts, cardigans, etc.  Sweaters can make or break an outfit.  Don't get me wrong, I love sweaters but they can be a horrendous factor to an already ugly outfit.  So watch out, or else some of your sweaters might come back to bite you in the butt!

Cardigans are fabulous.  They can change the look of an outfit for the better or for the worse.  I am a fan of your classic long sleeve cardigan that hits anywhere from your waist to your butt.  Any longer or shorter just makes for a disaster.  One of the worst things that ever happened to the fashion world was the cropped cardigan.  Yes, your heard (or read) correctly.  Those short little cardigans that only hit just below your chest.  These will never really flatter anyone.  So, if you are about to go pull out your short little cardigan to make your tank top a bit warmer for fall... rip it out of your closet and throw it in the trash.

On the brighter side, longer cardigans are adorable.  They can dress your outfit up a bit if you are heading out to a more formal event.  They can also add to a relaxed chic style on a cozy afternoon's t-shirt and jeans.  Here are a few examples of some cardigan styles I love.

Pull over sweaters are truly a gift sent from heaven.  They are incredibly comfortable.  These sweaters are not only comfortable but fashionable as well.  There really isn't anything bad to say about these sweaters.  I could probably share thousands of my favorite pull over sweaters.  However, today I am going to choose just a few to share.  

The fashion world doesn't get better than sweaters.  Tomorrow, I highly recommend going and getting yourself a warm and cozy sweater or two.  Happy fall and happy sweater wearing!

Trends 101

We have all looked at our parents' pictures and wondered what the heck they were thinking with some of those fashion choices.  To our dismay, someday our children will go through our pictures and make fun of our high waisted shorts and crop tops.  Trends are such a grey area.  What trends are okay to wear?

In my opinion, any trends that are revealing are probably not the best option.  Dressing like a classy woman will always be in style.  By wearing close to nothing, you are just setting yourself up to look dated and out of style.  Always stay covered up.  You won't look as dated in the long run and people will respect you.

Overkill on anything is never a good idea.  This rule doesn't change when it  comes to trends.  If all you ever wear is mint pants and a bubble necklace you are bound to look slightly un-creative and "clingy" in a way to a certain trend.  When you see someone who wears the same style everyday, you get kind of bored of looking at them and slightly irritated.  Please people, branch out with your style.  Don't wear the same style EVERYDAY!

If you walked into someone's house and the only color in there was bright red, it would probably be incredibly overwhelming and you would likely wonder what the heck was wrong with them.  You would wonder why the color red seemed so fabulous to them.  You would wonder why they chose to decorate their house with all red and chances are, you would try and get out of there as soon as possible.  Same concept with trends.  Someone who only owns trendy items is going to look desperate to fit in.  So desperate, that everything they wear is going to look the same.  To create a successful wardrobe it is essential to mix classic items with trendy pieces.  You want mostly classic items with a few fun trendy elements thrown in there!

Then there is the money issue.  Trends change every month and if you have to buy new clothes every month to be trendy, you won't have any money left.  That is another reason it is SO important to buy classy and trendy clothes, that way you won't have to "fix" your wardrobe every month.

If you are just torn between classic and trendy, why don't you try out some classics that are trendy.  Here are a few of my favorite pieces that are trendy in a classic sort of a way.

What are your favorite trends?  What trends are you just happily awaiting the day they go out of style?
