With the arrival of springtime comes a shower of new fashion trends for Spring 2005.
Students at Georgia Highlands College braved the dreary weather this winter with the chic', new Burberry mini-tote umbrella. This season clothing sets the stage for the serious fashion trends which are primarily saucy accessories.
Students are replacing last season's Louis Vuitton bags for the trendy new Gucci clutches. Students on a budget can find a great look-alike at Paula's Silver and Gold on Broad Street, or an even cheaper deal at Wal-Mart in several color options.
Another must have accessory is a colorful silk or sheer print scarf. These inexpensive but eye catching pieces can add pizzazz to any ordinary outfit. The scarf can be tied around the hairline to create a classic look, with a loose bow or ends dangling for a more earthy appearance. It may also double as a fashionable belt with jeans and fitted tee.
Vibrant colors and patterns are going to be very popular this spring. It is important to remember that one must be cautious with mixing too many conflicting patters. Make sure to find a pattern and color that fits your body.
One essential piece that looks good on every body type is the new three quarter length trench in vibrant colors. Pink is a popular color among girls around the Floyd campus.
The most popular style of skirt at Olympus Fashion Week in New York was the full circle skirt.
The skirt is reminiscent of the flowing, peppy styles reminiscent of 20s casual style. The skirt is fitted slightly at the waist, loosens into a flowing bottom that hits just above or slightly below the knee. It looks wonderful paired with strappy heels, or a more comfortable wedge. The wedge and ballet flat are making a comeback among students due to comfort and color choice.
All around Floyd, students are picking up on national trends. They also consistently put their own flare into the mix. The basic tip for this spring is to be well prepared to face the elements with layers, mixing solids with prints.
You can add variety to your wardrobe by selecting the right chunky necklace or other accessory.
