The Fashion Breakdown .52

WELCOME BACK to all my loyal readers and a WELCOME to my new readers! I am so glad to be back.And as I told you in my previous update, expect to see postings from time to time.

So you might notice a new title, yes, I think it would be hypocritical to have it stay the tip of the week if I didnt do a weekly blog. Onto the tip!

The Fashion Breakdown #52: This entry will focus on Spring 2007 trends: Sport's wear (active wear), The romantics, Pinup Girls, 80s, Space, and Geometrics.

Sport's Wear_ there has been a strong surge of designer active wear mixing with ordinary styling.Think... leggings! Look 1; Look 2;Look 3

The romantics_ this look is inspired by floral arrangements and what spring represents. The idea that I want you to take is lush colors like violets, rich pastels, rose red, lily blue. Also, you are going to see more embroidery that represents spring or embellishments such as poofs or ruffles. Look 1; Look 2; Look 3

Pinup Girls_ this look is inspired by the pinups of the 1940s. You will definately see inspired looks from sex and the city. For this look, think high waisted; risque-cover ups (referencing bottoms); and traditional cuts Look 1; Look 2; Look 3

80s_ i think for those who lived it... you will know what i mean. For those who dont know, think cool but multi colors. Look 1; Look 2; Look 3

Space_ METALLICS, WHITE, METALLICS! This look may draw gasps and feelings of being unsure but its back so if you have your bags and shoes stowed away, bring them out! Look 1; Look 2; Look 3

Geometrics_ This is all about shapes and cuts. Wide-end openings; lines and shapes. Think chiffon tops and newer/edger versions of a Mumu. YES, i said mumu. Look 1; Look 2; Look 3; Look 4

Featured Item: Patent leather and metallic shoes... example is from Bill Blass.

Check back for the next fashion breakdown! Always dress to look your best (Even if it's a pair of sweats and a tee)!
