You scoured the racks to find these bottoms in your size that you like…only to try them on and find out they were high waisted…and you couldn’t wait to tear said styles off!!! I KNOW!

Even if you think you’re too old to wear the trend, think again! No matter what your age, your shoulders are still a gorgeous body part. We haven’t seen cold shoulders (at least I haven’t) in fashion history before, which leads me to believe you might not be sure how to wear them for your body type.

Spring 2017 Shoe Trend Report

Hands down, the biggest shoe trend for spring of 2017 is SNEAKERS! Walk into any shoe department, and you’ll find sneakers have by far the most real estate dedicated to them. (Note, even if you skim this post, be sure to read through to the bottom to find out my best shoe shopping strategy!) I know the fashion industry has been trying to convince us to wear these formerly “gym only” shoes with everything from suits to floaty dresses, and I think it may be accepted in the larger US fashion capitals; however, in Denver, I see sneakers with jeans, [..] read more
