04 MarFashion Trend: Alice In Wonderland Chic

Alice In Wonderland chic is a fashion trend perfect for right now!Love Alice In Wonderland?

With the anticipation of Alice In Wonderland soon to be released, and Alice In Wonderland fever has spread everywhere.  From makeup to fashion, you can’t deny that this is a hot trend, so read on to discover how you can get  the dark romance of Alice In Wonderland chic just in time for the movie release and early Spring!

  • Ruffles & Roses. To begin, you want to evoke girlish fancy with dark edginess.  What better way to do this than with ruffles and rosettes!  For a true smattering of Alice In Wonderland chic, you want to go for dark knee length dresses with ruffles, rosette, and other girly accents.  The romance is in the details but the darkness and edge lie in the dark color of the dress.

 

  • Dreamy Prints. For Alice In  Wonderland chic, you want to go for floral prints, stripes, and other feminine patterns that look watery (as in painted on with a paint brush).  An innocent ivory cardigan with purple and yellow flowers that look like they were painted on, with a murky brown accent in the background that looks like it is bleeding down from the shoulders is a cool way to rock the dark romance of Alice In Wonderland chic!

 

  • Fussy Flats. Baby doll and Mary Jane flats with a funky metallic edge are a great embodiment of the dark romance of Alice & Wonderland chic.  These flats are perfect for daytime but edgy enough for after-hours fun!

 

Still want to know what fashion trend to embrace at the moment?  Then try the darkly romantic fun of Alice In Wonderland chic!

03 MarFashion Trend: Multi-Seasonal Clothing

Wearing multi-seasonal clothing is a fashion trend that is great for the budget!Ok, so due to the economy, just about everyone is on a budget…even us fashion divas!

Don’t worry that is no reason to fret!  Multi-seasonal clothing or wearing certain items of your wardrobe in every season is a hot new fashion trend that is really taking hold this winter.  So spur your creativity, layer pieces in your wardrobe, and put together some unlikely combinations in order to have the ultimate in multi-seasonal clothing!

  • Turtlenecks & Skirts. When the weather gets cold, a turtleneck is one of the most worn pieces by woman.  So, why not pair a navy ribbed turtleneck, navy tights and a navy peacoat with a white flowy summer skirt!  This combination is unexpected yet exceptionally chic.  Add a striped navy and white scarf or beret and gold accessories for a hip nautical look.  This is a sure winner in wearing multi-seasonal clothing.
  • Shearling & Shirts. Want a touch of mid-west flair when you rock out in multi-seasonal clothing?  Then pair a summery chambray shirt with a fitted shearling jacket.  This look goes well with either dark wash jeans or a brown tweed skirt.  You will be adding a little cowgirl to your step when you pair these items…a plus for multi-seasonal clothing!
  • Dresses & Layers. A maxi dress is a really great choice for the multi-seasonal clothing trend.  To look (and be) warm in these colder months, pair your favorite solid colored maxi dress with high-heeled boots, tights, cashmere sweater and/or fur vest.  The multiple layers, textures and colors will make this look effortlessly cool.  This is one of the easiest ways to pair pieces for the multi-seasonal clothing trend.

 

Now that you know that “on a budget” doesn’t have to mean “plain”, go through your closet now and create some stellar looks with your new and improved multi-seasonal clothing pieces!

02 MarTrend Alert: Roses in Winter

Floral Prints in Winter Are A Great Way to Spice Up Your Wardrobe!Funky title right?

You are probably wondering what I am talking about.  The roses in winter I am referring to have to do with floral prints for winter!  This is a hip trend that is perfect for the wintery weather outside.  So get bohemian chic with this new trend—floral prints for winter are totally in!

  • Go for Unexpected Colors. Since it is cold out, no one expects you to be wearing vibrant colors that really pop.  But this is an important key element to wearing floral prints in winter.  Blues, purples and yellows and a zing to your outfit and make wearing floral prints in winter really work for the wearer.

 

  • Go for Modern Shapes. With the reemergence of the skinny jeans and leggings, use shapes like these that are modern but recall retro fashion to wear floral prints in the winter.  A dusky purple skinny jean with a small yellow and blue floral print goes effortlessly with a tailored muted green military jacket. 

 

  • Try Layering. Try wearing a flowy white and blue floral print dress with white leggings and a navy boyfriend blazer.  The textures, patterns and contrasts of style will greatly complement one another.  This is just one more way to rock out in floral prints for winter.

So there you have it, try this trend of wearing floral prints in winter to spice up your wardrobe and add a punch of color to your style!
