Hips hips hips! Time to ship out your shape and embrace a trend that celebrates curves! Some of you have some serious pent up angst in regards to the mere thought of adding more to the dreaded undulating bits that you're trying so desperately to shed. Fret not; I understand this style might not be for all and I do agree that more is not always a good thing, BUUUUT, 'tis the season to rock what you already got and take advantage of a trend that accentuates a part of the female form that so many women are always trying to find clever ways to hide. What with there being all this excess space in the uh, how shall I put this delicately, haunchel region (?) it works favorably for those whom possess the means to fill it. Bad news for those who have a strait-on-all-sides-boy-body like myself. Being the Fearless Fashionista that I am, it will take more than a lack of voluptuousity to stop me from sporting these bellowing fashions that are sprouting up in stores quicker than a new Starbucks location. Which is also a factor that sparked my concern. I definitely recommend investing in "a" piece as part of updating your wardrobe for the Fall season, but don't buy anything too pricey because tends that are quick come in more than likely quick to go out. Good tip at hand, if you're noticing department stores OD'ing on a certain look chances are it will probably only last for one season. Fresh fashion is always in high demand. All the more reason to get out of your college sweatshirt and GAP (oops, I meant GAG) jeans comfort-zone and venture to new widths. At least humor me and make it to the dressing room with a buxom skirt in hand and an OPEN MIND. And don't bring your friend who frequents the knee length denim skirt that's "so cute and goes with everything" (unless you're pentecostal, that ain't hot!) You'll end up asking her "what do you think?" She'll reply with a cringe and advise strongly against it. Then only to usher you over to a pair of adorable white capris. This is when you bolt for the door and leave her at the mall... she is not your friend... at least not your shopping friend. Never be afraid to ask a sales associate for help. They are usually in tune with what's hot for the season and more than eager to offer their services. But be mindful that some of them do work on commission. So if you notice that they "absolutely love!!!" everything you're trying on when you know, that you know (that you know) the new Marc Jacobs shift looks like the end of the world twice over you may want to reconsider and seek a more unbiased opinion.

To bad I don't have curves! Let me know when fashion starts making trendy things that accentuates the curves of a ten year old boy.
Great page by the way!! I'm so proud. =)
Christa sees fashion trends the way I see food trends-They are great if you can catch them at the start but by the time they trickle down into the fast food arena (or GAP/Old Navy/Ann Taylor Loft arena)-then you know its time to move on to the next edgy trend that no one else is doing.. yet! ALways stay ahead of the game in food, in fashion in life!!!!
