If you read my blog you have most likely caught on that I work in a clothing store. As a sales associate I answer all sorts of questions about fashion, but lately I've been getting the same one "oh, well this is in style right?" and everyone that has asked this question implies the same tone of uncertainty. But as you must assume in sales the customer is always right, but sometimes there not and the clothing in your store isn't always something they should be buying. Women are always trying to resemble whats "in" and not something that flatters them, now I can't stress this enough, if the clothing doesn't work it's not you it's it! It's much like the break up line "it's not you it's me" but most likely anyone who has ever said that line meant the total opposite.
You cannot change what you have to work with, you are you and your gonna have to accept it. Their are many trends that I haven't been able to pull off, but I don't get angry at my body? The very next season they'll be another trend that's gonna pop up and you'll love it even more cause it's gonna flatter you! Style is about finding a common ground in what your day to day outfits are and making it pop with certain trends that catch your eye. You can't follow every trend, many women try and some even succeed but if your not a fashion magazine editor the chances are slim of you getting every trend right. So my advice here is to make your wardrobe you, some pieces of clothing never go out of style and are classics, but you mix them up accordingly to what suits you.
I hope this helped some of you poor confused women. I leave you with photos of celebrities rocking the wrong trends because we all do it, even them. ;)
Lots of love,

Demi Lovato: I soooo wish I could love this outfit, because the thought is there. Color blocking is a huge trend but this is doing it wrong. Take all the pieces apart and there great but together they just don't work. The draping on the skirt is too much if it were short it would be fine, and we don't want to be too match-y/match-y the shoes should stay neutral when trying color blocking.
Sarah Jessica Parker: She is the fashion icon of our times, no one will ever forget Carrie Bradshaw's style. But this was her character not her, this outfit is way too over accessorized and the hem of her dress is too long for her little figure, if the blazer were tailored to her shape this would be more acceptable.
Selena Gomez: Tweens just don't know how to master trends yet, there experimenting which is totally okay! But in this picture it is evident that this is Justin Bieber's girlfriend. Her rocker boots are too dark and chunky for her simple toned outfit, her shirt is see through and her blazer just doesn't go with the entire thing. I honestly can't even try to fix this one, she's doing a blazer with summer attire and Lady Gaga-esque rocker boots. Too many trends is achievable but can go wrong, much like in this picture.

hey!
what's colour blocking exactly? what's the best way to go about doing it?
Well I'm glad you ask! Color blocking is mixing bright colors in one outfit. So bright pants, top, accessories, etc. But you want to find colors that work well together and compliment you. And like I said about Demi, I would try to keep the shoes a bit more toned down compared to the rest of the outfit but other than that it's pretty simple. :)
