Being in the fashion industry half my life (almost literally!) winter for me literally starts in august and spring/summer (resort) right after Christmas... one of my little secrets is to check out what will be in for the next season then hit the sale racks to see what can stretch into the next season. I've learned over the past few years that higher end brands can work into a few of seasons for a couple of reasons. One being the quality is usually a little better, mainly the fabric, and also they are ahead of the game trend wise. I've had a few instances where I've gotten a great shirt 1/2 off because I love it, not because it trendy or "in"...sure enough within next year or so the style is all over the place.
A couple of patterns in particular that are timeless are... leopard (my fave!!!) and polka dots... both go in and out of stores but they are TIMELESS!! Anytime your spending on a higher end label...consider it an investment. The little trick I told you about yesterday, LADIES its January...get shopping those sales!!! Oh and PS... i will be giving lots of tips about shopping at Forever 21 and Target too...stay tuned..
A few big trends for Spring 2011....
coral everything coral from jewels to shoes to tops and dresses...springs RED...get on it!,
floral prints, this is something that's been in for a couple of summers so pull out something in your closet and make it new with an new long necklace (another spring fave) or a last years flat sandals...they are back huge for spring!! White wardrobe which is something I stock up on every year at the end of the summer... its a huge staple and timeless...
Warm weather is just around the corner...if you don't believe me, go shopping, the stores are full of beautiful spring merchandise!!!! Enjoy the day...smile xoP
