To Trend or To Style? 

What comes to mind when you think of fashion? Google says, "Fashion is a popular trend, especially in styles of dress and ornament or manners of behavior." This word has literally integrated itself into our daily life. Fashion is constant. Twice a year, New York, Milan, Paris, and London dedicate a week to forecast trends. When I think of fashion, Cher's dreamy closet comes to mind. If you don't know what I'm talking about, google "Cher's closet." You're welcome. 

Real talk, having style is far more important than being on trend. Someone can afford runway clothes but have zero sense of style and put that fresh trend to waste. I said we were keeping it real, right?!

So what to do? Here comes the stylist. Stylists understand trends, body shapes, and overall vibe, so they dress you just right. 

Too bad not all of us have personal stylists. That's no excuse though. We got this! Here are some tips:

1. Go for colors that you love, seasonal colors, and you can never go wrong with neutrals. 

2. Play with patterns, shapes, and structures. 

3. Learn what fits your body best, what makes you most confident and happy. 

4. Shop around. 

5. Shuffle "looks."

6. Be you. 

Trends fade, style stays.

Yes, you can quote me on that.
