Long time, No post

To all those who hang on my every style syllable, I am deeply apologetic for my slacked communication of late.  I am hereby making a mid-year resolution to create more timely posts.  

Here begins my first step towards a new, improved and more timely blogger self. 

I gave a presentation last week to a lovely group of ladies regarding some of the fashion trends we are seeing this spring and ways to make those trends work with a girl and for a girl.  It seemed to be of interest to them, so perhaps it will also be of interest to you.  I will start with a simple list of trends, and I will add information on each one over the next week.  Week and a half, tops.  

What does this mean for you?  Well it means you will have to keep coming back for updates, of course!  After this post, or any other post for that matter, if you have questions you would like me to address specifically, simply reply with a post of your own, and I'll see what I can simply do.  

And now, here are my top 5 trends for the season:

1. Neutral tones - all of them.
   
2. Strong shoulders - and I mean strong.  Bat wings, structured jackets, puff sleeves... it's all here.
   
3. Fancy pants - the perfect antidote to the strong shoulder.  In many ways.
   
4. Citrus and melon brights - another perfect antidote, this time to the neutrals of our outfitting world.
   
5. Statement accessories - necklaces, rings, cuffs, scarves, bags and shoes, oh my!  Accessories are screaming this spring.  
   

More description and direction on how to wear these trends - and how to please not wear them - is on the way.  Stay tuned!
