Damn!...I missed it.

Don't you hate when you've missed a trend because your weight loss diet plan didn't make it in time? I've missed  many. By the time I got small enough, the trend was either out of date or EVERYBODY was now  wearing it. I'm fighting hard to get off these winter pounds for this sprigs jump-suits... Love them!

1. Bodysuits of 2007

YSL

2. High Waists of 2009

Free People

3. Sholder Pad Dresses of 2010

4. Asymmetrical Fitted Dresses of 2010

Where is Chicago Fashion?

Walking down the streets of Chicago I can't help but to notice the lack of color and fashion in the wear of our locals. There are always blacks, navy blues,...beige. Same goes for the hallways of my school..Uggs...North Face....Uggs...North Face...where is the color?...Where is the style? Are we too afraid to take risks?
