Summer
is here, and so are all the wonderful summer clothes!! The problem is there are
so many "trends' this summer that its impossible to rock them all,
or know which ones to go for. Here are my top 10....
#1. Mint and Mint Jeans... Love Love Love. Mint is one of the freshest colors there is and adds a great pop of color to any outfit. IF you don't want to do the mint jeans then go for a clutch, shoes or even just a skinny belt.
#2 Crop tops. Now I know not everyone can wear this look easily, but if you go for a high waisted maxi, pencil or shorts, it is do able and can look really sexy.
#3 Colored Maxi's... Maxi's are still hot and there are some fab colored ones out right now, including some great patterned maxi dresses. Pair with a cute bag, diamonte sandals, and some arm candy.
#4 Emerald Green.. I totally adore this shade of green, its rich and looks great on most skin tones. If your not sure about it try a top, bracelet, or necklace.
#5 Cotton Shorts... Shorts no longer need to be tight and denim. The hottest shorts right now are loose, comfortable and totally stylish. Wear with a tank, button down, or thin sweater.
#6 Printed Pants... LOVE as you can probably tell from my previous blog posts.. These pants can be a mix of trends; grunge, sophisticated, monochrome, graphic, or floral. They are super easy to take from day to night with just a quick change of shoes.
#7 Wide Brimmed hats.... Super chic, and super sensible. These hats not only look stylish but they are also great at protecting your face from the glaring sun
#8 Denim Jackets.... For those cooler summer nights a denim jacket is a must have, it goes with pretty much anything and will keep you warm. Make sure you pick the right shade not too dark and not too light, and with a little bit of fade.
#9 Stripes and Graphic Prints... There is just something really edgy about symmetry, Again, stripes are not an easy look to pull off. If you are curvy don't do the wide horizontal stripes as it will just make you look bigger, Instead try the squared graphic print or vertical stripes.
#10 Printed kimonos and cover ups.... These are so comfy and light, perfect for summer. You can find them with asian inspired prints, florals, butterflies, and graphics.

AND my Least favorite trends of summer...
1.
See through Purses... Really??? Why do I want everyone to see my tampons
and advil? I really just don't get it. One fashion editor mentioned putting
your clutch inside of one so no one can see your belongings but why would I
want to carry two bags?!
2.
Cut out dresses... They have really just taken it too far. I liked the
ones with a few little slits here and there but now there are so many cuts you
might as well not wear the dress...
3.
High waisted denim shorts that show you ass cheeks.. I am all about the
90's comeback but I just don't want to see anyones butt cheeks hanging out of
the bottom. If you want to do this look, do it right and get ones a bit longer.
4.
Leather dresses. For Summer?? really? do you know how hot those things are!
I wore a leather skirt in the winter and I was sweating. Save it for the cool
months ladies.
What
trends do you love or hate for summer?
