You know my motto: trends are friends.

They’re not meant to be this scary, evil thing.

Trends get a bad rap because of the absurd rapidity of fast fashion. And while that is completely valid, trends themselves are a natural part of life.

Fashion, like every other industry, is meant to adapt to user needs and desires. Thus, trends exist to improve our lives.

I’m certainly not saying, jump on any and every trend and endlessly overconsume. But I do think the participation in said trends can be fun and overall acceptable if you’re doing so through the lens of your own personal style and not buying a bunch of sh*t you’re not actually going to wear.

Shall we explore?

However, I do think it’s really easy to drift into bad tacky vs. good tacky, so let’s try to stay in the safe zone.

Per the ushje, this post is a mix of predictions and things I personally like/dislike.

So please take it with a grain of (flaky) salt!

As always, do what you like, and leave the rest.

Even if you like something in my “outs,” I’m not encouraging you to not do it. In fact, I encourage you to do whatever YOU want. :)

But as far as I am concerned…

I am not typically one to yuck anyone’s yum.

And I am always of the belief that style is certainly subjective. The same with “good” style.

That being said, I do think there are certain things that almost always work and others that almost never do…

I am really excited about this post because I just love a nighttime look. But I must say, they’re easy to mess up!

I don’t think you need to buy a whole new wardrobe, but I do think it’s a good idea to intentionally integrate pieces that you LOVE and that you will love wearing again and again.

It’s all about what feels good to you!

These are all outfits I would wear to a fun dinner, drinks, and out-out (when I go out like thrice a year!). And as someone from the South, these are all hot weather (and humidity)-approved!
