Day 30: Recession Proof Bag Snags
Okay. Let’s be real here and admit that we don’t buy as many handbags as we used to. Budget crunch. So what are you going to splurge on this season? Look for timeless bags that are worthy for wear season after season. Here are some ideas. These choices are super simple, hence timeless.

Day 29: Real Green
Emerald Green Fashion. Perfect for the Evergreen State of Washington. It’s rich color goes great with black.

Day 28: Jil Sander is unique
Great response from fashion critics. How can you not mention Jil Sander when the concept was so different from the rest of the shows? If someone can understand form of fabric on the human body it is Jil Sanders. “Scultures in fabrics, where is the auctioneer?”
Day 27: Show your legs
Thigh high boots to cover them legs and now we want to flaunt your legs with thigh-high slits.

And if you haven’t picked up the fact that Megan Fox is a huge fan of this trend, especially when it’s time for the red carpet.

Day 26: Hoodies from High Fashion
Who doesn’t know that the Pacific Northwest is all about sweatshirts, right? Well, as much as I am opposed to hoodies here, it is being accepted as a trend this season so take full advantage of it.

Day 25: Blumarine <3
I loved the whole look of this collection, everything from the pieces to the backdrop that I had to do a whole day on the colors. It will brighten up anyone’s wardrobe. Don’t be so gloomy this season just because we’re in a recession.
Day 24: Thigh highs (again) + metal (ica)
I did write a post previously regarding thigh-highs. Matching thigh-high boots with metal is a variation of thigh-highs that is going to be a trend this season, especially with leather. Rock hard!

Note: these Gucci’s are the ones that Nordstroms isn’t going to be carrying. They have the strappy two-tone leather and patent thigh-highs.
Day 23: V for VERSACE
Necklines people! Versace is all over it! Plunging V-neclines is made its comeback from Jennifer Lopez’s famous Dolce and Gabbana dress.
Remember the dress?
Day 22: Purple Nurple
If you haven’t gotten the hint already, it’s purple. Get it!

Day 21: Elizabethan Ruffles
Whether it’s a turtleneck sweater or knit top or a separate scarf piece, the ruffles will give you full neck coverage in addition to keeping your neck warm while allowing your complete look to be stylish yet aristocrat-like.
