The
bleakest month is hardly conducive to the start-afresh mindset we're expected
to adopt. The house looks naked with the decorations down, and life beyond the
sleet seems impossible to imagine when you're going through Stilton withdrawal
and you can't get your jumper on because of what your new www.fashionfabulous4u.blogspot.com has
done to your triceps.
So
though I could entreat you to take a punt on some of 2013's most bonkers
trends, frankly the dungaree revival (yes) can wait. Instead let's turn our
attention to a comforting constant: if you're enveloped in January
blues, wrap yourself in denim. Yves Saint Laurent put it well when he said: "I have often said I wished I invented blue jeans: the
most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They
have expression, modesty, sex appeal, and simplicity – all I hope for
in my clothes."
fashionfabulous4u is subject to trends,
but it's more a case of evolution than revolution (since they're a style
cornerstone, it makes sense not to muck about with them too much). If you're in
the market for an update, though, the spring collections have a lot to offer.
Looser cuts and paler shades are prevalent, and denim isn't so much distressed
as destroyed. I'm coveting this Current/Elliott pair, to team with a structured
jacket and a vest.
Skinniest
will still be popular, but fashion's top brass have moved on. To wean yourself off your
drainpipes, why not try a neat crop? Kate Moss looks splendid in her Siwy Hannahs, but I also like Koral
24-month wash,the high-waisted Ida Ivy skinnies,
and Lee's slim Scarletts.
