Trends can be daunting for a lot of people. There's a thin line between fashion forward and fashion victim. My advice? Try using street style pics (or people watch) to borrow from their looks. It's not being a copycat; part of fashion is getting inspiration from other people. I suggest picking one trend you like and incorporating it into your wardrobe to make it your own. If your favorite store is J Crew and you think you could never rock socks with sandals, try a casual shoe with tailored jeans and a preppy blazer. Just because you've seen people wear tiny dresses with the socks/sandals combo, doesn't mean you have to!
I'm not sure, but I'm guessing she got these socks at American Apparel. I think I own them. When I want to tone done the frilliness, I pair them with a chunky, more substantial heel.
Try the denim shirt with dressy black shorts for daytime or to tone down evening wear.
How about a neon yellow skirt? SO chic with khaki!
Flares can be so figure flattering. Keep the top modern with a girly blouse and you'll feel less cowgirl.
Pair your sheer top with a cami instead of just a bra for a less revealing on-trend look.
Monochromatic is one of my favorite trends. It's easy to do with a basic color, like navy. Incorporate a slightly off shade to add dimension.
A polka-dot blouse goes with nearly everything.
Western ankle boots are going to be everywhere. Get a jump start by swapping sandals for boots in a shade of nude instead of black to keep the look summer ready.
Pair stripes with denim and let people think you're French. Keep the stripes thin and therefore figure flattering. Try them instead of a cami under a suit for a small pop of the trend.
Nude outfits still look chic long into fall with the addition of some brown boots.
Florals add a girly touch to an all black ensemble and based on the fall runway they aren't going anywhere.
The one trend I would say, "Don't try at home?" Leather shorts. Here's hoping they leave the fashion world for good-or at least a few seasons.
