Fall Trends Worth Falling For

       Summer is coming to a close,  most of you guys are starting high school / college next week *laughs* I don't start school until October , and I am very excited. Going to college is ..different because you don't need to do back to school shopping. I can get away with wearing my last year clothes, because no one has seen them yet.. Doesn't mean that will stop me from shopping and making things, when you're a fashion design student you have to slay. And I plan to slay the VMCAD campus.

     I've been trying to keep up with fall fashion, and it's not much to speak about. Fall is taking a wild turn, instead of dark colors the trend is pastels and whites ? Not sure I'm on board. Let me just talk about my favorite fall trends.

• DIY Denim  

Now is the time to play with jeans ! Go ahead and sew or iron on patches on jeans, the patches can be denim or maybe a print you like. OR add tons of  vintage patches like logos ect. I saw Rita Ora wear jeans with words on it, I thought it was dope so I tried it too. It says Vouge jeans.

           

• Sporty Girly

Bold prints and statements,  boyish with a mix of girly. Things like jerseys tees , varsity jackets, jogger pants.

• Flannel 

It's the classic fall trend , but let's add a twist to it. Try mixing it with other prints, go for pastel plaids, or just add some details to the collar, pocket , and elbows,( elbow pads).  Go to goodwill and buy some old flannels and just experiment ! 

I just added a gold pocket

Those are just some of my favorite trends for fall ! Good luck with school !- xoxo JT

     

Spring Topz

Spring is right around the corner , ( If you live in Cleveland like me ) ! Now is the time to get your spring wardrobe together, if your a weirdo like me , you already have your spring wardrobe set. But since your probably a normal person and  not fashion crazed, you probably needs some tips.
I'm going to break it down by items, since there is SO much going on for spring. Lets start with TOPS for spring.

• Color themes for spring, neon and vibrant colors, and nude or pastel tones
• Ex- hot pink , neon yellow, neon orange, beige , turquoise , all coral colors

All the tops for spring this year have some kind of cut outs, from the shoulders , to the back or the bottom of the top. You can wear these with anything but remember to keep it tasteful . Wear something underneath your cut out tops , especially if it's in the back !

One of my personal favorites is shirts made out of netted or jersey material. I am in love with this style because it adds a little edge to your look. These tops look AMAZING with good with high waisted jeans or pants, and you can always throw a leather jacket over it. The actually jersey shirts are growing on me too, I love the idea of a girly jersey, I just bought one that says west side haha.

Denim & Leather are Bffs now. The trend is to wear a leather bustier with a denim jacket over it with some ripped boyfriend jeans. OR the other way around,wear a denim bustier with a leather jacket. Stretchy denim crop top shirts are in, they can be worn with white pants and if your daring try leather pants. Also denim shirts that have patches on them of lighter and darker denim, or denim shirts with some leather patches on them. ( not my fav) Couldn't find some good leather pictures, but I hope these denim ones help.

Last but not least is Boho style , this is my least favorite but it is very popular this year so I can't ignore it. Boho has all different kind of floral patterns and hippy lace, just everything I can't stand.
That's just some of my favorite trends for spring tops , if there is any trends I didn't mention then just let me know ! Happy shopping, next post is about spring pants and shoes.
