It's mid-January and I'm having those typical Spring-Summer-would-feel-awfully-nice-right-about-now blues. So, I decided to do a little web surfing to picture what I'll be wearing in a few months. Goodbye sweaters and warm coats... hello fashion trends for the new season.
Seriously, I'm not a fashionista, but I like to keep current... so my daughter doesn't wrinkle her nose every time I get dressed. OK, she will always 'wrinkle.' but I can pretend that I know what's going on.
Look for these things:
The Butterfly motif. This one scares me. Really. The big thing about the butterfly motif -- don't overdo. Don't be too girly. Apparently designers like Diana von Furstenberg and Badgley Mischka had butterflies on their 2009 catwalks.
Single-shouldered dresses, tops, bikini tops. Kind of an interesting trend. Asymmetrical seems to be in. I know some people who will feel unbalanced. I might be one of them.
The Grecian or Romanesque trend. Grecian trend meet the single-shouldered trend. It all makes sense to me now. I can't finish writing this without mentioning a toga party. It would just be wrong.
Fringe and flapper trend. A lot of skirts/dresses (short or long) sported this trend on the 2009 Spring/Summer runways. This one I can do.
See-through and sheer fabrics. Again, not so much for me, but the info I read said that it was more about being stylish than playing the part of the sex-kitten. Maybe even cooler to wear(temperature-wise) - could this be the fashion world's nod to the keeping-it-green movement?
And finally, black and white seems to be the trend for 2009. Phew... I'm going to be OK.
Now back to your regularly scheduled winter day....
