Fashion Trends, 2011: Fashion, they say, is ever-changing. But what's also true is that whats out of fashion today is back in tomorrow.
Here's some trends that are back in this year!
1. High-Waisted Pants: The high-waisted pants, once a die-worthy fad, slowly slipped out of style. For they were, of course, replaced by quite the opposite: Low waists. Low waists were in wherever you went. Especially with jeans. But high waisted pants have made their way right back into style!
Wear: With tucked-in formal shirts. Make sure a good style and some large buttons highlight their presence. Frills do the trick. Accessories in large chunks are great. Peep-toes are the best heels with these pants!
Want a pair? Here's a few good ones!
-Trousers W-L Main:
They're a good colour. Brown goes with a lot of things. They're flared at the bottom with wide pockets. Ideal for the pub, as well as the meeting! It's definitely well-budgeted, too!

- Zara:
Nude is a great colour. It's the colour we dig this season. Especially in the formals arena. It's got a slight belt to tie along the side, with it. And it's definitely a chic buy.

2. Sequins:
According to event planner and designer Tamika Brown, sequins have well made their way back into style. 'Especially with tops and dresses,' she says. And true, that is. Sequins are widely used by most designers. Recent spring collections of 2011, saw a lot of sequins. Famous designers like Donna Karan, to slightly younger brands like Forever 21: Everywhere, the sequins are an abundant dig.

Wear: As suggested, with tops and dresses.
- Sequin Shoulder LS Top:
Sequins add an element to tops that are otherwise dull. It's the party element. One a top has some sequins, it's automatically in the 'going out' category. Couple it up with the most casual of jeans, and it still looks great- Even if it's just a hint of sequin!

3. Layers:
Layers are big this season. Not just in the designers' arena, but also when it comes to street style and party dressing. Starting as a matter of convenience, layers are now a style statement. In the winters, of course. But layers we love. Not so surprisingly, layers were a big concern for fashion magazines as well. Articles on carrying those layers off with style were quite in abundance.
Wear: Long-sleeved tees, thin pullovers, sleeveless jackets, mufflers- all make for great layers.
-GAP, has a section dedicated entirely to layered clothing! If you love layers, this is the place for you: http://gap.us/fxTLjQ
- Cardigan with cloth pockets:
It's smart- to say the very least. Long sleeves and an open-front buttoned cardigan. That's the first thing in layers. Being a neutral colour, it goes with most everything.
What: Cardigan with cloth pockets
Where: Zara, http://bit.ly/g7i9MM
4. Power Shoulders:
This being the era of the confident, bold woman, the power shoulders had to be back. Not everybody can carry these off well. It's for the independent woman with that strong personality. Walk into meetings with that confidence and the power in your shoulders: There's nothing you can't achieve. And that's the reason they're so dearly loved. We like the bold. And when it's a woman who's going out to get the world: all the better!
Wear: Accessories are the biggie with power shoulders. Use statement necklaces, chunk jewelry and large accessories! High waists look super with power shoulders!
-Vintage Evening Elegant Dress:
A dress with a highlighted, puffed shoulder area? There's nothing more chic when it comes to power shoulders! The golden emphasizes the big shoulders, giving it an air of power. This dress wins all hearts!

I love that high waisted pants are back. Blouses look so pretty tucked in. As do ballet tops. Bodysuits are just around the corner (American Apperal has been doing them for some time now), LOL. Love your blog. Found you on Twitter! :)
