Last week, The Galleria hosted a fashion extravaganza to launch the new Fall season. Simon Malls invited Vogue, GQ, and Glamour magazine reps and local bloggers to host a huge fashion show and trends presentation for guests. Everything was quite impressive and the clothing was, of course, superb, but as I was marveling at the fashion, I began thinking, "Ok, how does a regular Jane like me do this?" I do not have a million dollar job - though I absolutely love working for the Houston Press :-) - so my shopping budget is itty-bitty and I have a toddler hanging off of me everyday, groceries to shop for, and errands to run. I live in the real world, so my clothes have to as well.
So, I boiled all the trends down to a solid must see list, then translated that into pieces the everyday person can find, afford and wear - and get chocolate pudding splattered on. Each piece is under $50 and captures the look for a lot less stress.
Monochrome
Probably the easiest trend to adopt, just wear all the same color or various shades of the same color. Any color will do, but there is always good ole black or maybe blue.
