Trends

Just for the record, some trends are impossible to follow.

Harem pants; Boho looks with the shiny headbands that go around your forehead, embossing a mark in the process (we aren't all Nicole Richie, really); a distressed top with leather leggings, the 'Labyrinth look'; tapered trousers; purple lipstick/lipgloss......*shudders*

But as much as this may make some of your eyebrows shoot way up past your hairline in shock....I have always liked Vanessa Hudgens' sense of style. She is a huge fan of the Balenciaga city bag and the Miu Miu Bow Messenger, as am I, and she just manages to pull off everything oh so well. (Okay I admit I AM a tad biased - I am a huge fan of Zanessa). Hmmm I digress again.

WELL...the point I'm getting to is that with the 411 being: JUMPSUITS ARE IN, I have been carefully analysing these outfits online and on certain celebs as of late. And I was a tad critical of checking it off as a YES on my Trendy List until I saw a recent picture of Zanessa at the Watchmen premiere.....with Vanessa totally rocking her jumpsuit!!!!

Now I'm definitely looking for something like that. Something flowery, short and fun without being over the top in any way. Just something very subtle, as per my usual style.

There is a narrow line between pulling off a jumpsuit and looking trendy, AND looking sadly 'wannabe' in some of those badly-designed jumpsuits that make you look like an astronaut or a construction worker. To me, the trick is to go subtle and to keep in mind that long jumpsuits are way harder to pull off than short ones.

I have no doubt that these suits will probably be horribly inconvenient if you are in dire need of the bathroom or suffering from a severe case of diarrhoea....but I am willing to give it a shot anyway. My mantra in fashion has always been to try out all the trends, albeit reasonably and.....

Yup, you guessed it. Subtly ;)
