Viva Modcloth!

For those of you who love vintage know how hard it is to find vintage clothing or stores and its even harder because it's vintage! That means it isn't mainstream. Instead of having to leave the house to find some fabulous vintage finds, why not shop online? Modcloth has to be my favorite website to shop online for vintage clothing it's amazing. The website is so accessible and easy to navigate it has everything from clothing to bags and accessories. Sometimes vintage clothing has a tendency to be a little out dated and worn out the but the vintage clothing at Modcloth is so fresh its far from being worn out. From the beautiful crisp 50's inspired dresses to their retro baby blue striped jeans if you love those good old days when fashion was awesome your bond to find something you love. Don't worry people the great fashions of yesterday are available and here just one click away.

Lace Fashion Out!

The lace awaits as the new is the old and the old is the new. For the past couple of years I have notice a trend in vintage. as the recession roars on, I see so much more of the old. even with our fashionista role models from the british monarch; Kate Middleton, to our very own american first lady; Michelle Obama. Even though lace is known as a very expensive style, we the consumers have defaulted that and demanded a cheaper price, and thus there was Forever 21. Forever 21, to me, is a lace lovers best friend, literally, walk in. tell me what you see? But fear not, lace haters, solids are coming soon to store near. Hopefully soon too, not that I am a lace hater, but lets face it, I as consumer of fashion, am bored. That is why I am happy to see our leaders and role models wearing a variety of patterns.

In the summer of 2012, the styles that we are expected to see is a lot of soft and feminine dresses and blouses. Clothes will be getting a bit more busy, such as florals and feminine patterns. Many outfits will have touting pleats, folds, and draping. Believe it or not the ideal look will be some what significant to ancient Greece and ancient Rome. Many popular colors will be mint green, bright blues, yellows, oranges, and hot pinks. Neons will be very in. The vintage 70's look is also in style, the open backs and long maxi skirts will be worn all over. Colored pants and shorts will be very big as well. The hippy look is coming back!

Style on a Dime

Economic times are tough and not all of us can afford that really cute pair of designer jeans from Lucky this year. So what do we do? We find a much more affordable way to look good strutting our stuff. 

            STEP 1: ("I can do it stage") gather up all your old, unwanted, outa style rags taking up that one corner in your closet you wish was full of clothes you still wore 

            STEP 2: ("Go backsees stage") take out all you think you still have a liking for but... now what your still left with is 2:1 unwanted clothing. 

            ANSWER/STEP 3: ("this is cute right?") Introducing the new hipster chic. Learn how to rock your style while never feeling buyers remorse or the need to skip lunch the next day due to insufficient funds. Its the perfect solution. Is time to take a trip to Buffalo Exchange or Dee Lux to get more for your dollar bill. 

So live alittle. Consign alittle:)

                                           

                                                                            -SOFIA GOMEZ-
