Trends come and go.
Some trends are cute and stick, but most of the time they only work temporarily.
The most important part about trends is knowing what is going to be next.
The best way to know what the next trend is to read magazines, fashionista blogs, and go on all different types of websites.
In the fashion world there is no limit.
But in the real world, it's a little difficult to wear these....
Not so realistic...
But there is a way to wear extreme trendy pieces in your everyday wardrobe.
I decided to pick 10 trends that I like... that you might be on the fence about... and give a couple of tips on how you can wear them.
1. NEON
extreme bold colors used to freak me out. i tend to like neutrals and more toned down colors. so when this trend came around, it took me some getting used to. i decided that i would get some pieces that i REALLY loved and were easy to work with.
i suggest buying some skinny jeans.
i suggest using neon as an accent color. like pairing it with a stripe dress or top. or even an all white outfit.
2. NEON JEWELRY
this trend ties in with no. 1. you might've seen it on pintrest and tumblr, these elaborate bright crystal necklaces.

these necklaces can be worn everyday, for a night out, or an event. it's up to you to decided how far your willing to go with it.
3. PASTELS
this trend is very similar to the NEON no.1 trend, but you have a lot more leeway with it. you can have more fun with it. you can wear pastel on pastel or just wear one piece.
mint is a cute pastel color that looks great with anything and on anyone.
Jcrew chino shorts, every woman should have at least the basics. the CHINO SHORT doesn't get more basic.
but they have awesome colors too.
you can wear these pastel shorts with a black button down and heels to go out with the girls
or these shorts with a tee and ballet flats

4. TEXTURE
by texture i mean... lace, bold prints- chevron, stripes, polkadots, sequins... anything besides solid. it's definitely a hot trend. if you dare mix and match TEXTURE, thats even more hot!
i've seen this dress all over pintrest and tumblr for the past few months and finally Lilly Pulitzer comes out with it! and they have a couple of cute colors too.
Tobi always has great bold patterns that are trendy.

5. HATS
hats are always in, they are a necessity at times. but this summer the hat trend has taken off. the bigger the better. the edgier the trendier.
pair a straw fedora with flare jeans and a peasant blouse.
a maxi dress or skirt goes well with a panama or big floppy hat
it's quite obvious that all hats are made for the day light, but at night fedora is a great accessory

6. SCARF TREND
there must be a special name for this trend, but for now i call it the scarf trend. a better description would be a scarf print, on dresses or shirts.

the scarf pattern gives a richness to your ensemble. it could be a repeat offender, meaning that it might be a trend you could see later on possibly in a different season.
the first two dress is a great example on how to do this trend for summer.
and the last two show great colors for fall and winter.

7. ORANGE AND HOT PINK
orange and hot pink are extremely bold and loud colors. they look even better together. they are bright and fun and everyone's eyes will gravitate to you.
you would never guess where i found this one... CAVENDERS the boot store!! so cute
GAP has GREAT things right now... a must stop to shop store.
TOP SHOP has some HOT hot pink dresses. definitely going out dresses.
these two colors are fun colors to add to your wardrobe. you can always count on a fun and flirty hot pink or orange dress.
8. NUDE SHOE, with everything
maybe to some people this isn't considered a trend, it's a preference. but i think that this should be considered a trend. up until a year ago i never owned a nude pair of shoes ever. and occasionally i would wear them, with a lighter toned outfit. but now i wear nude colored shoes all the time with any color toned outfit. theres something sexy about a great nude pump, it makes your legs look longer.

all shoes are either Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, or DVF
here's an example of day and night dresses that go with nude shoes
9. BODY JEWELRY
the only way to explain the trend is to show pictures..
only a few celebs have rocked this boho chic head dress. its a cute accessory to add to the right outfit.
there are leg chains, back chains
arm chains
hand chains and heres a different type of head chain
this girl is casually wearing the chain and it looks cute and understated. not too much.
this girl is wearing a flowy shirt with a back chain, this is great for going out.
i would wear a head chain with a cute little dress and heels for a club night.
10. NAIL ART
the trend with nail art is putting cute geometric patterns on your nails. not those crystal flowers that you got on a whim when you were 13. i'm talkin about chevron, stripes, aztec.
gold and silver stripes
color block/chevron
accent nail
aztec
there you have it my list of summer trends!
