TrendystylesYou read about them in the magazines and you see them on TV.  You love the new trends, but you just don’t know where to start.  Many of you may have your own fashion sense and ideas…more power to you!  Not everyone, though, has the inherent ability to make trendy statements, and that’s ok.  Here are some surefire ways to make sure you stay trendy, no matter what your style…

Think about your favorite TV show or movie and the styles the actors/actresses portray in those shows.  Go online and find pictures of styles you like.  Then, look in your closet or take a trip to the mall and transform that style into your own.  More than likely you aren’t strictly a Serena Van Der Woodsen or a Blair Waldorf.  Take your favorite style elements from both and add your own flare.

On a budget?  Look in your closet and mix and match items you already have.  Take a pair of pants, leggings, shorts (you get the idea) and pair them with a solid colored shirt.  Accessorize with bright, colorful shoes & jewelry.  In a matter of minutes, you have a new outfit and you haven’t spent a dime.   Being trendy does not mean dishing out a lot of moolah.  Trendiness is all about being confident in yourself, your style, and your attitude.

Use your resources and don’t be afraid to go out on a limb.  If you are unsure about a style you put together, ask your friends.  They’ll be honest with you.  If the style doesn’t work, no big deal…add an accessory, change the shirt, add a belt…just try different combinations.  Most importantly, make sure you are trying a trend/style that fits your personality and body type.

No matter what, you should exude confidence in yourself, your style, and your attitude.  Once you have accomplished this, then and only then will you be a Top Trendsetter.  It’s all about YOU.

Color Your Summer

Going into summer it feels like our country is finally on a slow upswing again, and there is no reason your clothes should not reflect this ladies (and guys, too!). This time is full of hope and hot pink, the bright-side and bold blue, the sun and the happiest yellow you can find. Get the picture? Just remember that wearing color is like being out in the hot summer sun…you don’t want to OVER-do it. Pick one piece of your wardrobe that is nothing but a solid, vibrant, happy color and keep everything else pretty neutral. You don’t want people to come up to you and say, “1985 called and they want their clothes back,” do you? I didn’t think so. Take baby steps. Wear a pair of hot coral pumps and work your way up to a sunny yellow dress. Now go enjoy this fabulous weather, and don’t forget the sunscreen!
