Okay, I guess I haven't posted for a while, but I have some awesome news! I bought THE most fantastic dress EVER. It's black with black lace netting overlay and the lace has darker polka dots on it. It's sleeveless, but the strap part is made of lace. The actual bodice of the dress is, of course, black and ruched and a slim black ribbon goes around just under my waist. It has an A-line, knee-length skirt which is black and also has the black netting with polka dots. Actually, does anyone know a specific term for polka dots that aren't, like, tiny? Because the "dots" on my dress are ovals and are about 1 inch wide...Well, I'm fairly sure they're just called dots.
Anyways, enough about me, I'm sure you're all just dying to know what to wear. I want to take a moment to focus on fringe. Last year, all the designers we know and love were playing with it, and it's here to stay! At least until the next big thing. Anyways, fringe is still going strong, especially on shoes. Fringe is also great and short skirts and on some dresses. Try not to get the thick, hippie-dippie-trippie style fringe unless you are going for boho chic. If you are going for a more elegant look, find fabrics that shimmy together attractively and stay fringe-y looking not clumpy.
As for makeup... Well, spring is always about lighter colors, and having more fun. Bright eyeshadow colors have been going strong in the fashion world for at least a year. Keep your makeup fresh! Don't go wild with the neons, just be a little bold. One more thing to amp up your style this spring: bangles. Lots and looooooots of bangles. Just maybe make sure to keep a little arm skin, but otherwise pile 'em on! There were some glass bangles by 3.1 Phillip Lim, and others in wild prints and fabrics.
I'll be posting more on Spring/Summer trends of '09 soon, but ta-ta for now!
