A few times a year, there seems to be a shift in fashions. I really don’t know much about each trend, but I see what is going on when I look at what everyone else is wearing. You never know what to buy because the trends go so quickly. Quite often you can look back at the things you wore when you were young and wonder what you were thinking. This happens often, and it makes me want to buck the trends and dress the way I want to.
I always wonder who decides what the fashion trends will be for that year or that season. Is it some overpaid fashion guy in Paris? Why do we allow that person to tell us what will be in that year? I have watched friends cringe when looking through the new fashion trends, yet they go out and buy the stuff anyway. I’m sorry, but there is no way I’m wearing tapered leg jeans again. It may be an upcoming fashion trend but I’m not going to participate, and I am indeed going to laugh in my head at those that do. They went out of style for a reason and they should be allowed to rest in peace.
As far as I’m concerned, the latest fashion trends show me how little imagination fashion designers can have. I know it’s hard to come up with something new, but I hardly think recycling the same looks is something that should be considered genius. Why do we have to go back and revisit a decade that we gladly left behind? Come up with something new if you really want to start fashion trends that may stick around for more than five minutes.
The best way to find fashion trends is to ignore what people are wearing and buy what you think you want. Get stuff that looks good on you and your body type. I have seen far too many girls in low-rise jeans and half shirts that should never have even considered wearing them. It’s not fashion if you look ridiculous. Come up with your own fashion trends. This way you will know you look good, and you know that you are truly expressing yourself. There is nothing wrong with wearing the latest fashions as long as you truly feel good in them, and aren’t doing it just because everyone else is doing it. I don’t know about you, but for me, being everyone else is not acceptable. There is only one me and I am proud to be who I am, fashion trends be darned.

Fashion Tips From Magazines And Journals
I have a few friends who often asked me for fashion tips. I have to laugh when they do this because I am hardly what you would call the clothes horse. I have other friends who are much better at picking out clothing, and I often refer questions to these people. If you want fashion tips I am the last person in the world you should ask. Though I can trust myself for my own choices, I would not trust my fashion sense well enough to guide someone else. If you have friends like me, there are other places you can go to get great tips so you can look good whenever you leave the house.
One of the best places to get fashion tips is to read a fashion magazine. There are some magazines out there that offer nothing but advice about clothing and accessories. I never personally purchase any of these magazines, but I have a lot of friends who do. You can find fashion tips in almost any women’s magazine that you find on the rack, but the best tips will come from those devoted to fashion exclusively.
If you are looking for specific fashion tips, you may want to buy a specific magazine. For example, if you are about to be a bride, you may want to buy bridal magazines to help you decide what dress to wear, what shoes to wear with it, and how to choose your accessories. If you are concerned about dressing your children, but you are unsure about fashion like I am, you can find many children’s magazines that will offer you fashion tips just for little ones.
You may also look for fashion tips online. You may find many of the fashion magazines on the shelves also have websites online. The best thing about these websites is that for the most part, they are free. You won’t have to pay the cover price of a magazine to get the same fashion tips they offer in their monthly editions. You may not find everything the magazine has to offer, but she will probably find what you need. There are many from which to choose, and there are other websites to help you as well. A simple search online should dig up all the fashion tips you could ever need. Remember that not all advice is created equal, and that you will know your own style when you see it.
