What's The TREND? Tie Dye

Tie dye is another one of those trends that we've seen in the past but we aren't totally upset that we are seeing it again. You could obviously take part in this trend by heading to your local Michael's or Jo-Ann Fabrics to pick up a tie dye kit and tie dye just about anything made of cotton or spandex but luckily you don't have to look far.

What's The TREND? Plaid

Plaid is just one of those trends that won't fade. That's perfectly fine because each cycle of a trend is always different. Worn by different people with different styles of dress. The most popular plaid looks that I have seen lately have been long vest dresses, oversized blazers and paper bag waist pants. 

In my opinion, plaid has always been considered more of a professional print. One that you see in more business settings, men's suit and women's dress pants and skirts. Thank God for advancement there's an edgier vibe to plaid. Check out some plaid pieces below to add to your wardrobe.

What's The TREND? Kitten Heels

I'll be totally honest and admit that I won't partake in this trend because I don't care for how kitten heels look on me because I'm already short and need the extra heel to elongate my legs... BUT! It wouldn't be right for us to withhold the trends from our readers! You've seen them on your favorite bloggers, models even celebrities. So its clear that you could have at least one pair in your wardrobe.

I remember when I was first was introduced to the the kitten heel back when I was in high school in 2004 or 2005. Back then I could only remember wearing them for a Cotillion I was in. As you've probably seen they look their best paired with skinny jeans or pants. But I don't see why they wouldn't work out with your wide leg pant or a cute mini skirt. Below are some frugal shopaholic options!
