I cannot believe that 2008 is almost here! 2007 went by so very fast and was filled with so many changes. So with 2008 right around the corner I think it is imperative that we all assess our lives and closets and figure out what we should be taking into 2008 and what we should be leaving behind. As I am not a counselor, nor do I profess to be a person who is remotely equipped with dealing with my own issues much less anyone else’s, I will just leave this discussion to clothes.
For 2008, we need to leave behind anything that resembles or favors in any shape or form the Bohemian look. I know this is hard for many of us, as those damn peasant skirts are just so comfortable and easy to maintain, but it is time to donate them to Goodwill or pack them away until the fashion cycle brings them back in style in another 10 or so years. 2007 can also retain anything that has the Military inspired look. However, unlike Bohemian inspired pieces, I would just pack away and store my Military inspired pieces, as this is one trend that although may be out for now, is likely to be back later in 2008 or 2009.
As for 2008 there are certain key trends that every woman must begin acquiring. First and foremost…the statement accessory. This can be anything from a necklace, a hat, a watch or a funky bangle or purse. However, whatever the accessory, it should be able to stand-alone and funk up any outfit you decide to put together. It is also essential that 2008 is marked by the acquisition of at least a couple sexy formfitting pieces that although shouldn’t be skintight and sleazy, hug the right areas.
I personally, am looking forward to 2008. I had a great time in 2007. I learned a lot about myself and the people around me, and can’t wait to start off the New Year on a great note. And hey, it can’t hurt to look good while doing it. Talk to you Next Year!
