All Things Eye Candy: 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.
