More Fall Denim Trends/Layout of the Future Posts

First, I'd like to start off by apologizing to all of you for being so far behind. This summer was horrible and hectic and I didn't post anywhere near as much as I should have, so I'd like to apologize for that as well.

For those of you who are more aware of what's going on in the world of high-fashion, I'm sure you're wondering why I didn't cover NYFW that ended nearly two weeks ago or LFW/MFW which are both currently underway. And the reason for that is that all of these events are showcasing spring/summer fashion for 2013. While it's important to know the trend before seasons change, I still haven't had a chance to discuss the trends for this autumn/winter. And, since we're currently in those seasons, I'd like to take a chance and run through those before I jump on the spring/summer trends for next year. To prove that my apology is sincere, I'm giving you guys a little preview of MFW:

I'm going to try and get everything done as fast as possible so I can move on but I don't want to do FW's until January or so. I do intend to take my time with the fashion week coverages, however, I think doing a different event each week should be a good time frame to go over everything. And, of course, I'll be touching on other little fun/fashion-y things I come across in my daily life, or someone might suggest to me.

So...now that that's out of the way, I want to quickly touch on another fall trend that's been emerging for months now: denim. And, I don't mean just jeans. I mean all denim EVERYTHING. Denim shoes, shirts, jackets, and other clothing items are everywhere at the moment. And I'm not really sure how I feel about it.

Yikes! No wonder they broke up!

 I love the concept- it gives more depth to denim as a fabric since there are so many different textures and styles to play with. The only problem is, some people don't know when to stop. I mean, jeans, a cute top, and a denim jacket (different wash/texture fro jeans please) is a cute outfit; not too over the top, and showcases the trend without being too...couture. The problem is when someone dons denim from head to toe IN THE SAME WASH (use this pic of JT and Brit as reference). Can you say one-toning*? It brings the 80s back, but not in a cute-cause-it's-retro way, more like a which-musty-closet-did-you-pull-that-outfit-from kind of way.




Though I guess this is the problem with all fashion trends; there are always those people who overdo it and scare you away. I think, though, that denim is something that is more easily overdone than a lot of other trends we've seen in the past some odd years. It's just the basic rule of life: too much of anything is never a good thing.


*one-toning: slang term used for someone who is wearing only one color or colors similar enough to be seen as the same color.



Questions of the Day:
How do you feel about the all over denim trend? Have you ever seen it misused in a way that made you cringe? Would you prefer to talk about the spring/summer trends now, or during the New Year?

Besos!
