SPRING FASHION IS HERE! Can you handle it?


The temperature is changing, people are starting to become a little nicer and everyone in the city is coming out of their seasonal depression...finally!  Now that we are putting Winter behind us, it is time for us to start thinking about our Spring/Summer WARDROBE!  You didn't think i'd let you all off the hook, did you?  GUESS AGAIN!  But instead of dreading having to go downtown to 5th with your girlfriend or with your "girlfriends'' and roam around like a fat girl at the gym...I am here to help!

Every Spring/Summer season has a trent that starts about mid January.  It is a fashion path that is established throughout the entire high fashion industry and then trickles down to the little people such as H&M, Zara and UNICLO.  Don't get me wrong, when I say little people, I mean the 20 Million Americans that shop at these retailers seasonally.  Including ME!  So let me give you some examples of some great outfits and combinations that will set you on the right track to a successful, stylish Spring and Summer!
  
Let's talk a little about Tommy Hilfiger this season. I will admit, his clothing have never appealed to me, but this season is different!  The light button up top and the white jeans/pants are going to be essential pieces this season.  It's a clean and tidy look that gives every spice of debonair to your image.  Tucked or untucked stick with a light pattern on the top.  Stick with sky/baby blues, light pastels.  Solid or patterned will work.  If you go for the pattern look, stay with vertical stripes.  You can get the SAME outfits at your local H&M retailer.  The Oxford button-up shirts start at $19.95 and the vertical stripped button-ups start at $24.95.  What a deal!

When buying a pair of light pants, STAY SIMPLE.  The pants add a light charm to the outfit, you don't want to distract anyone from the most important part of the outfit, YOU!

Let's look at the new GUESS collection and what it has to offer! 

This season is all about SKIN.  Dark jeans and stone button up shirt.  I think they want us to think Country with a flair of GAY.  Yeah, I said it.  But you don't have to go full homo to sport the style.  Button the shirt half way up and add a white under shirt tank (wife beater if you will) and you'll be captivating any woman (or man at that).  The stone brown or gray shirts with the cowboy flair is what is in!   These shirts can be found all over the new Zara line.  The tops can be purchased at around $39.95 and you will DEFINITELY get the look at Urban Outfitters or even UNICLO.  Again, don't get me wrong, GUESS has never been crazy expensive, but way spend the $198 when you could drop 40 and have a nice night out?  PRIORITIES PEOPLE!  

  • Cut off Black shirt with design (H&M $12.99...cut off the sleeves yourself)
  • Dark Jeans - SKINNY JEANS (everyone needs a pair) $59.99 ZARA
Well, I hope this short issue has helped ya'll out a little bit!  There is more to come, keep tuning in as I will be back to slap you with more Style tips for the Spring and Summer Season...oh yeah, GET TO THE GYM!

Namaste,
