Now that I have covered all the info. You might be asking yourself... what in the hell do I wear to something like this. In a nutshell: Be creative. Step outside of your comfort zone. Have fun with it. This may not be enough info for all of the newcomers, so I provide a few tips:

Please keep it sophisticated, not slutty. We need to work on taste here folks. It's one thing to wear a tasteful mini, but another to some everything your working with. Please leave something to the imagination... PLEASE!! Try stepping outside of your comfort zone. Take this look for example, mixing patterns. ( This may be a lil too much for some, but try with just a top or skrit.) Although, they are different patterns. They complement each other.

Basic blacks. Been there..done that..got the t-shrit. Instead of wearing your simple favorite black on black look. Whether its that same cocktail dress or favorite tee w/jeans. Up the ante with some texture and movement. Like this leather pleated skirt. Put this on, and your milkshake will definitely bring all the boys/girls to the yard.

If all else fails, stick to a clean tailored look. If you are not ready to take the plunge, just keep it simple with some color blocking using this seasons Pantone colors. Please, whatever you do, make sure its fits.Top it off with a statement piece.  Ask a friend who's closet you wish you had, for help. This also applies to the guys as well.

The Division Slim Straight in Bluffs features a sleek rinse wash process, 5-pocket styling, golden brown contrast stitching , and single button closure.

HOW FASHION TRENDS START

Photoshoot for Jeff Whipple, Artist www.jeffwhipple.com

What is a trend?  A trend is a social processin which style changes. A good example of this is how we dress, of course my first obsession.  If a change is short lived its known as a fad.  Trends typically last long term. A lot of fashion changes are fads because they do not stick around for longer than 2 seasons.  A good example of a trend…

I am in Atlanta for, of course, the apparel mart.  You know, fashion shows, new lines to check out and beautiful people everywhere (more on that later). I have been waking up each day and running about 3 to 6 miles. In the past I have always used the phrase “I’m on vacation” to eat whatever I want (you all know exactly what I’m talking about). Once I return home, I am wondering why I can not fit…
