White - A winter white pea coat is a classic staple that you will be able to wear for years to come. It will work with different styles and outfits.
Plaid - The bleached style of this plaid shirt makes it more current. I love the colors and the ombre look with the bleach. You can wear the trend without any hint of lumber jack.
Graphic Prints - The painterly print of this dress makes it fun. The style and cut of the dress makes it work for all body types. I can see it with a motorcycle jacket and flats for a casual day or with heels and a blazer for work.
Military - An anorak military style jacket will take you everywhere. I love it with jeans and a tee or with a flirty dress (like the graphic print dress).
Brocade & Embroidery - There are lots of brocade options this season but I love the idea of a brocade party dress. These resemble items that were shown at Ralph Lauren and are much more expensive.
Menswear - A classic pinstripe pant can be worn lots of ways. The cut of these pants is ultra flattering and the navy is less expected that black.
Bordeaux - A classic pump is a great addition. The bordeaux (oxblood or wine) color makes it on trend. They would look great with almost every item I've selected. If heels aren't your thing, go for a ballet or pointed toe flat.
Leather - A leather pencil skirt takes the rock n' roll of leather and makes it work for everyone. If you add a blazer and a blouse, you could wear it to the office. Throw on a concert t-shirt and some high heel booties and you'll be ready to go out.
There are so many affordable options available. Look at the trend and figure out ways to make it suit you. If you want to try out the trend, look for an inexpensive piece and try it out. You could also hit up your local thrift store or clothing swap. You can make a trend fit your personal style.
Happy Friday Real Girls!
