Trend Report: Dresses!
It’s Tuesday, which means its Trend Report Time! Read below for the latest from the FP The Apparel Team!
When I was a kid everyone wore dresses to school almost every day. Yah yah yah, I’m dating myself — but back in the day girls only wore pants on “gym” days! Of course that special outfit for the first day of school was a decision that was as carefully planned as “D” Day. As the youngest of four sisters, I spent a good deal of time wearing hand-me-downs but my mother always came through and allowed me a few new things each fall — including the all-important back-to-school dress!
This weekend I experienced the deja-vu of this ritual with my own eight year old daughter. She had wavered all weekend between three stylish ensembles and came to rest last night on a be-dazzled tank dress that she designed herself on FashionPlaytes.com (it’s true, she loves our clothes with no influence from me!), along with her new pink clogs and a favorite necklace that she made at camp this summer. As I was tucking her in, I asked her if she was positive she was going with the the tank dress for the big day. I had to laugh when she told me, “Mom, tomorrow is an important day and I need to look fabulous!”… Nuff said.
FYI: To stay trendy this fall with fabulous dresses no matter your personal style, layer them over leggings, wear with boots or ballet flats & accessorize them with eye-catching accessories. Don’t be afraid to mix different colors & textures! A dress is the easiest item to rock, so show off your fashion knowledge today!
