Managing Trend Trauma

Posted by Beth on 9/24/2012

Often when we think of trends, we automatically think young. Let's face it, many trends are meant solely for young women (think belly baring tops and micro mini-skirts). However, each season there are trends that can be worn no matter how old you are.

Let's talk about how to know if a trend is right for you. The answer is in how you feel when you put it on. Do you feel confident and flirty? Or do you feel silly and self-conscious? There's your answer. To wear a trend well you have wear it with confidence - put a smile on your face, a strut in your step, and stand up straight. Own it sista!

It's ok to start with baby steps too. Earrings are an easy way to add a trendy touch to your everyday look. If you've been wearing stud earrings every day since 1995, now is not the time to put on a pair of 3" statement earrings. Why not try a pair of skinny hoops though, or gorgeous, on-trend stone earrings in a favorite color? To get you motivated to try something different, treat yourself to a new pair of earrings - maybe something you wouldn't normally wear.

Go ahead...Find your inner flirt.
