I am really loving all the black and white bold prints that are at the stores right now. I am really in love with this outfit from Ann Taylor and just could not justify spending the money for things that I may have similar in my closet. This is my attempt to it the black & white graphic print with a little bit of color.
I am hoping that this coming year's trends are things I can find in my closet so I am not tempted to shop. What trend are you hoping will be big this year?

Thank you so much Steph :)
DeleteYou created the same look perfectly right from your own closet. Think of the money you saved! ;) I'd love to see vests get more popular again. I hardly ever see them in stores, at least not right now. Not the outerwear type of vest though. The suiting type, and other cute styles. They really make an outfit in my opinion and they balance out my pear body type. More vests!
ReplyDeleteJoni - I have a vest that I purchased about a year ago that I have not worn yet. If you have one, I would love to see how you style it - I need some inspiration on how to wear it. Every time I try it on, I feel like a waiter or something silly.
DeleteWhat a great combo! The lace and polka dots.

DeleteThis is really beautiful. I love the lace.
ReplyDeleteThanks Priscila!
DeleteThe skirt is SO pretty, I love the lace. I am hoping polka dots stay around... but let's be real, even if it wasn't trendy, I'd probably still wear it! :)

DeleteI love this outfit, Alice. I love all the black and white prints that are in vogue now too. Love the way you found an outfit you loved and then created your own inspired look with what you already have.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa - I am gonna do my best not to buy as impulsively and use what I already have :)

Thanks Rebecca! I love this skirt - it has a bit of a stretch in it so it's super comfy too :)
DeleteSo beautiful Alice! I am kinda obsessed with black + white (always have been!) so it's awesome to me that it is a huge trend this year. In fact, I haven't announced it yet, but black + white will be my February's "Trend of the Month"! So excited to announce it next Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, you pulled together a gorgeous look as always...:)

Thanks you Marion - can't wait to participate in your link up!
DeleteI hate when trends move on too fast. I'm JUST getting into colored pants, and now printed pants are all the rage. I don't follow trends too closely anyway so it's not a big deal :)
ReplyDeletePrinted pants is one trend that I have not jumped on board yet : ) unless you count polka dots.
DeleteCute cute shoes! I LOVE that color!
