Welcome to a New Year, where we will be bombarded with new style trends and new fashion flubs. We all love shopping and style but sometimes we forget little things that could help make us look even more fabulous. Since fashion should be fabulous no matter what year it is here are the top five things I think we should keep in mind in 2009.
1. Stylish, versatile and always in style the Cardigan is like a trusty friend serving as the perfect complement to jeans, slacks or pepping up a pencil skirt. Coming in a number of colors and styles the Cardigan can help to complete any outfit and no closet can afford to be without at least one but preferably two or three.
2. Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize, no matter how many times I hear it, it never gets old. Your accessories are a direct reflection of you and your mood. They help to accentuate any outfit, taking it to new heights, and let’s face it everyone loves a little bling. Accessorizes are exactly what you need for that LBD, this is a classic blank canvas that just wakes right up when pearls or diamonds are brought into the mix. The perfect clutch or roomy hobo bag can lend excitement and fun to any and every outfit and you can also spice it up by adding bangles, layered necklaces or chunky bauble style earrings. Lastly we all know that nothing dresses up a pair of jeans quite like the perfect necklace and earring set.
3. Remember that fashion is not only a staple for the world to see, what about those sexy little items that lie beneath? Promise yourself to give in to the whim and purchase more panty and bra sets. Feeling sexy should begin long before you get dressed and if you have sexy sets and comfortable bras getting undressed could be as much fun as getting dressed.
4. Take time during your shopping trips to remember to be eco-friendly. There are countless products from a variety of business that provide everything from natural and environmentally friendly make-up to T-shirts colored with natural dye. Since saving the planet is up to all of us try your best to make eco-chic one of the hottest trends of this year.
5. Lastly keep true to yourself and your personal style, but still avoid falling into a fashion rut. Can this even be done? Of course, just take the time to try new clothing cuts, styles, and fabrics. If you are known for your black on black style, try to spice it up a bit by throwing in a few splashes of color and adding a few frills. Take the time to know what you want and don’t be afraid to wear it.
Always Keep it Simple and Sexy.
