Trends come
and go… You just bought a new it-piece, you wore it twice and now you feel like
it has already fallen out of fashion?
Think
again! It is often claimed that we live in a so called “throwaway society”.
This might hold true for some of us but I will tell you why it should not hold
true for you and how not throwing away can help you save money.
I have a
passion for collecting things. For example I collect shoes, clothes, bag, jewelry,
foreign coins ….. and old fashion magazines. So the other day I was – believe it
or not – cleaning out and went through one of those “old” magazines. Fall 2010.
In print media three years and six fashion seasons later is like ancient.
Nevertheless,
what I found was fairly surprising. Leather pants, Parkas, Vintage- and Ethnoprints
and edgy biker boots. Nothing we don’t still wear three years later. In fact,
if anything these trends have become more popular.
Leather Pants
+ Parka + Biker Boots + Leoprint Bag = Killer Outfit
We ♥ !!!
So before you treat yourself to some retail
therapy and purchase the third parka in olive-green, go back to your existing
wardrobe. Vintage is never out of fashion. Instead give your outfit a posh
twist and combine the leather pants with black or red pumps.
Speaking of pumps… we already wore the pointy
toe pumps like five years ago. Now they are the “new” go-to pumps. A trend is
never dead. Only comatose until it is reborn again.
