There is nothing worse than walking into a cocktail party and seeing seven different versions of your outfit.   After all, we get the same bulleted list of trends every season (“The Color of the Moment!” “The 5 Items You Must Buy This Season!”).  Furthermore, we’ve all been told to follow the same “rules” (The little black dress with a “pop” of whatever that au courant accessory/color/shoe happens to be). I’m surprised we don’t all have identical closets.  

Of course, I may be exaggerating just a tad, but only in the hopes of getting all aspiring fashionistas of the world to go further than just taking trends at face-value.  Turn them around, upside-down, left and right.  Leave the little black dress in the closet, and instead pair the little black necklace with a winter white blazer and cigarette pants.  Throw your hair up in a perfectly messy bun, slip into a daringly short, billowy nude dress and put on the little black earrings.  Trends?  You set them, darling.
