A Statement of Fashion. Or visa versa

I thought I'd bring you some fashion news this time. We'll be focusing on the Fall/Winter season and what the Fashion Gurus are saying is currently in.

To begin, "the silhouettes of the 1950s and 1960s make a strong return, with shapes that accentuate curves and foster femininity. The aesthetic is decidedly Mad Men, the look is versatile and fun. A hip-hugging sheath dress with a below-the-knee hem is the ultimate in hourglass dressing, while the full circle skirt and dress remain at the core of the trend." 

The 70's, "by day it's all about high waists, wide legs, soft blouses and '70s accessories. By night, all that shimmers is gold. Flowing, draping dresses in high-shine fabrics or metallic hues are perfect for evening '70s glamour. Be bold and don't hold back, this look is about balancing softness with boldness."

Be Military, "we'll forgive you if your first thought is "military, again?". Yes, military remains a trend for Autumn / Fall 2010 but not as you've previously come to know it. Following on from Spring 2010 the women's military trend, like the men's, turns away from the pomp and ceremony of military inspired clothing we've become accustomed to, and takes its cues from 20th Century military uniforms. From army green to shearling lined boots, it's now a trend that's far more subtle but no less appealing. "

Leather, "we're in two minds about including leather clothing in a list of trends. Yes, it is on trend but it's hard to categorize. You see, it works in with so many other trends and isn't a style unto itself. You'll wear it with military and you'll buy hot pants made out of it. Nor is there anything new in wearing leather itself. But include it we must, you see the leather trend is extending into pretty much every other trend for the season. You name it, it'll be an option for your wardrobe in the colder months. Leather shorts, leather dresses, leather leggings... and more."

Now all you have to do to be in style is adapt these runway clothing lines to your wardrobe.  Have fun!

 


Evidently we have friends we didn't even know we had. Remember  the  blurb about us in Women's World magazine last June? Well this month we received a mention in an article on Suite101.com.  Next we'll be on the cover of Oprah!!  All together now...Heck yeah!!!! (If you're into country music you know I cleaned that up a bit)

Below is the link to the article if you're interested on learning about consignment store buying and selling.


Consignment Store Benefits for Buyers and Sellers

The article explains the upside of selling through a consignment store, but is more centered around a brick and mortar store. Don't give up though because at  the end of the article, Online Stores are mentioned with us being one of two that were singled out.
 

So that was cool!
