7 Style Trends I've embraced in 2009

It's almost the end of 2009 (yikes!) and everyone is making lists.

So, here's my list of trends I've gotten on board with this year:

1. Boyfriend Cardigans (the one below is from the Gap): I own three of them and wear them religiously with tanks, jeans and scarfs.

2. Leggings: Just like Katie (image below from justjared.buzznet.com), I've worn my black ones with long tunics, dresses and flats:

3. My Plaid Tunic (from charlotte Ruche) that I've worn every which way:

4. Infinity Scarfs (this is one is LA Made). So easy-no thought involved. Just wind one, two, or three times around your neck. It never comes undone and you never have to fuss with it.

5. Short Scrunchie Boots (these are from JC Penney). I wear them with leggings, straight leg or boot cut pants. Easy. Love them.
6. Anything with Ruffles (the one below is by BCBG). Big bosom babes beware-depending on where the ruffles are placed, they can make you look even larger.



7. Short-sleeve cardigans. I wear them for every season. In the warmer months I just layer a long tee underneath (mine is from Target):

So there you have it!

HOW ABOUT YOU?

You are way more stylish than me. The only new style I've really embraced is stretchy jeans. It's so nice to have jeans that actually fit for a change.

I've definitely embraced boyfriend cardigans and leggings. I haven't really tried any of the other trends yet, but that's mostly because of budget issues.

MissNeira said...

I so agree with you on all of these! never thought I would get into leggings, and I basically live in them this year
great post to share!

I finally broke down and got some leggings. I found the denim ones are nice as long as you wear something that covers the butt and thighs.

Sal said...

Right there with ya on the leggings and infinity scarves! I nabbed a boyfriend cardi on sale, but am yet to figure out how I want to wear it.

Retro Chick said...

Boyfriend cardigans are a trend I was just longing for!

I pretty much embraced the bold shoulder look this year, I found it surprisingly flattering with a nipped in waist

Kristin said...

Yessssssss to all of the above...especially ruffles. I'm enamored with them!

Sher said...

Oh I love ruffles! I'm such a romantic ;)

Hi Cynthia!I just got a pair last week from Charlotte Ruche, and I know Steve Madden has some. Oh and I also saw some at Macy's, I think by Rampage. Hope that helps...if not email me and I'll help you do a search!

Just got on board the the leggings....so comfy...but I need to find something to wear with them. I only have one longer length baby doll style sweater that I love.

Maddy said...

I have boarded the leggings express and the Ugg bandwagon - I couldn't be happier!

Oh hey same here! Except for the leggings (I'm too short?) and the scarf (I live in a country where scarves are not needed ahah).
