The funny thing about a lot of these trends is that they're just so practical. Small purses are my jam; they're just so much more convenient than large purses. Think about it; you don't have to worry about filling up a large purse and there's none of that extra weight on your shoulder. I've also always been a fan of the brooch. They're the easiest way to dress up a sweater or t-shirt or jacket without having to think about it.
Mix & Match though I will say lovelies shouldn't be just a trend, it should be a way of life. Matchy-matchy is just so boring. Spice up life with a few unusual prints thrown in! Have some unusual colors in accessories, don't be afraid to get funky!
Denim Head to ToeNow, before you all get very excited that you can finally wear your denim jackets and jeans together without being given the stink eye, remember lovelies; different shades. Matching the shades is just too much. Do a dark shade with a light shade with a medium wash.
