2010 Fashion Report Card

Ooh, it was a year of fur vests and combat boots. Big shoulders and ankle socks with heels? Yes, we saw it ALL in 2010 and some things were better than others. Unlike report cards in school, I am only listing the trends with the highest marks...straight A's! These grades are extremely biased though. They are the trends I  had the most fun wearing, so there is a definite curve.


Fur Vest
When these things started popping up in Ann Taylor Loft you knew the trend was dying down. But trend or not, I love a fur vest.

Leopard Accents

I love leopard so I was happy to see it roar big in 2010. Leopard is classic, but there are some years when it's hotter than others and 2010 was such a year. I am partial to this look because FabSugar selected it as a Look of the Week! So any excuse for me to show it again is fine by me!

One Shoulder
Fashion was a little one sided this year with one shoulder tops. But I loved them. Even Michelle Obama did as she was seen wearing this trend also.

Sequins
And finally sequins were sparkling all over the place this year. From berets to skirts to jackets. Sequins during the daytime? Oh yeah! Sparkle is my best friend, so I was pleased. And what better way to ring in 2011 than with some shine. Here's to another year of fashion, trends and fun!

Today's Trend: All Out 80's

First, I must share a picture of one of my most wanted "toys" during my 80's childhood. (They should have warned me that it takes about 10 hours to make one actual snow cone though)




They say fashion repeats itself and boy were they right! As much as the '80's caused many fashion nightmares, you gotta admit, they were fun. Neon colors, lace, shoulder pads, not for the faint of heart. Although some '80's favorites (acid-washed) still scare me, there are a few throwback trends that can sneak back into this new decade and that already have over the last couple of years. Like skinny jeans.(I threw in Pac-Man because I love it) Here are my picks:
