Ah, it’s that time of year again. That awkward time where it can go from 50 to 80 and back again in one week…or even in one day. That awkward time where most other states have a somewhat normal Spring but we can’t just yet transition from our Winter wardrobes. And that awkward time where I just want to wear my Valentino sandals but mother nature won’t allow it.
The Internet has done wonderful things; it’s made phenomenons possible like cat memes, the Harlem Shake and even Justin Bieber. It’s also made information more confusing than ever: Is soy good for you or bad for you? How close is too close to stand to a microwave? Is a blood facial really beneficial? (unfortunately we have Kim Kardashian to thank for that) Well, one thing we know for sure — oil is the new cream.
Clear accessories, especially handbags, are a photographer’s dream during fashion week. Although I can’t recommend wearing one if you carry your life with you on a daily basis, there are ways to do see-through right. Whether it be a bag, sunglasses or even a jacket, this trend can either be your best friend (see below) or your worst enemy (ie. stripper heels).
Varsity jackets have been making somewhat of a revival the last few years. This is something I personally enjoy because it makes me a little nostalgic. One, because I remember my parents having them (similar to this but with black sleeves) and two, sports weren’t really my thing so I never actually got to own a real varsity jacket. Instead, I got to wear a super uncomfortable cheerleading uniform with orthopedic-looking gym shoes…and those, my friends, were great times.
So getting back on track…
A lot of people have a tough time incorporating color into their wardrobe, and I always say the easiest way to do so is by utilizing bright accessories. But now with so many colorful shoes, jewelry and bags on the market…the accessories world can be a bit overwhelming. The simplest way to utilize color is the most intimidating for a lot of women. Can you guess what it is?
