Not to complain, but because there were so many diverse and absolutely crazy trends, it was just a bit difficult to decipher what to recommend. Although there are so many (great and not so great) trends, I whittled it down to 7 of the top, most wearable trends, a.k.a. things you’ll actually be able to wear for your professional and casual lifestyle.

I totally remember my favorite matched set (among several) I had in the late ‘80’s, a rayon tank top and sarong style skirt I wore to a wedding and remember wearing for several years. (I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t fit today had I kept it, and I’m pretty sure the fabric would be rotten by now, lol!) Essentially, a matched set is exactly what it sounds like…a top and bottom that are [..] read more
