Be You





There's no question. Color is in and it is here to stay...at lest until the next big thing comes around since as we know, fashion comes and goes in a cycle. The bright trend we have been seeing for Spring 2012 seems to have come straight from the 80's. Neon colors were all the rage in the 80's and today's consumer can't get enough of them. From neon green, orange, and yellow, to bright pinks and blues, todays it's fashionable to pair them with jeans or even mix and match with other bright colors. Retailers such as Gap, Forever 21, and even designers like Jimmy Choo and Betsey Johnson. The silhouette of spring styles are also inspired by the 1980s. Baggy, loose fitting, and comfortable are what's popular. The main thing with the bright trend is to be yourself and make it your own. Personally, I'm loving this trend, especially the bright pant. I like to make it sophistacted and dress it up by adding simple toches in sillouette and with accessories. Here are some pieces from different designers and retailers embracing this trend:

Jimmy Choo

Betsey Johnson

Gap Pants

Forever 21 Jacket
