LET's TALK FASHION

So I know all the fall/winter lines are out for 2011 but I thought we'd take a look at some of the spring summer line fashions and some cheaper versions of essentially the same look.  I'm seeing alot of neutrals, bold prints, more flowy less form fitting clothes.  I will talk specific trends in future posts but lets take a look at some knockoffs you might want to consider adding to your wardrobe this spring.

look one-faux leather baby

The top look is from the Chloe spring/summer collection and the knockoffs are both from Urban Outfitters and are available at their website.  The top is linen and is priced at 49.50 and the faux leather pants are 88.00.  Please keep in mind that no matter what you may think your size is it is important to check the size chart and to take a tape measure and measure your bust for tops and hips for pants.

look two-dress

 This is a looser version of last years look and both are silk.  The first look is from Calvin Klein collection spring/summer and the copy is available on asos.com for 112.00  Again please be aware of the size chart since UK sizing is different but an easy to understand chart is there for us Americans.  I believe  this to be a very flattering look for most women and its a nice simple piece to have in your wardrobe.  Chances are there will be many occasions to wear this dress so you won't feel so bad spending a little extra.

look 3-mod squad

The original look is again from Chloe spring/summer collection and the second look is from topshop.com and is 120.00.  The crochet detail on this is still trending from Marc Jacobs of last spring and it is definitely mod!  Topshop also has free shipping on orders over 100 dollars which is nice.  The third one is from asos.com for 62.00 and is probably a less bold and more flattering version of this look.  Both of these could be paired with light wash jeans or any sort of pant or legging if showing this much leg is uncomfortable.  Do I think you can wear these with flares? YES I am fully aware that not every lady is into the skinnies and would be happy to know that bell bottoms are back anyway.

look 4-Athena

On the left is another look from Chloe's spring/summer collection and what I would call this seasons more flattering take on the maxi since there's gathering and it is not so form fitting.  The copy is from modcloth.com and is 60.00.  This look can be made more casual by adding a cardigan.
