6 New Trends for the Working Woman this Fall

I often meet women who like new fashion trends and want to update and incorporate them in their wardrobe. The problem is they are not completely confident they can wear them.  They may think they are not young enough, thin enough or even tall enough.  I encourage women to celebrate who they are today, start small and gain confidence. Instead of buying a dress in animal print, consider a belt, scarf or shoe in their favorite color of that print.  Also, I suggest that my clients concentrate on implementing one or two new colors into their wardrobe for the upcoming season.  For example, bold colors are a playful twist on the usual warm fall colors.  Pair a hot pink blouse and possibly a hot pink animal print purse with your standby classic pant or skirt.  Building a "closet of classics", then adding new colors, will give you more possibilities and updated trends.  Go ahead and jump into this fall with confidence!

Freshen Your Fashion Workshop

Bloom A Fresh You recently held a fun and interactive 3 session Workshop called Freshen Your Fashion.  Every week women personalized their wardrobe by adding new fashion inspirations, implementing practical organizing tips not only for their clothes but accessories too, and adding accessories to their outfits, to take their look to a new level...called "Pile on the Style".  

The last week each woman brought one of her favorite accessories from her closet then we went into my closet and made a completely new outfit, using new trends and ideas!  One woman commented: "We used to play in our friends closets when we were little, why did we stop"!  What fun we had as we encouraged each other to look their best!

Destination Shopping

The Situation

Dee was specifically in the market for a dress for an upcoming evening wedding in CA.  Her only requirement was that she wanted it to be "a little bit of sexy".  

The Profile

Dee has become a friend and long time client of Bloom A Fresh You.  Her style is sophisticated casual. Her personality is funny and playful and at the same time deep and sensitive. Dee travels extensively and her time is at a premium.  We had a small window and needed to be focused and intentional in our shopping.

The Solution

We shopped 10 stores in 3 hours.  She was game to try on anything and everything I suggested!  We found a lot of great options, but none of them were exactly what she was looking for...you know what I mean? Too short, too big, too expensive, too... Then, what looked like a tangled mess on the hanger, became the perfect dress...after giving it second look.  It was a black halter dress, with oversized pockets and an inverted and top stitched hem.  Simply gorgeous on!  So Audrey Hepburnish!  With what Dee had budgeted just for the dress, we were able to find the dress, sweater (for evening), shoes, purse and jewelry.

 Mission Accomplished and More!

                                             

Most commonly asked fashion question...How do I wear a scarf?

Fall Fashion Trends and Video Preview

Timeless Fashion for Every Age

Fall is in the Air!  What a fun night Bloom a Fresh You had at Lillian's Boutique last night.  More than 50 women attended the Fashion Show and Workshop.  We had 2 sets of women, one mother/daughter the other grandma/daughter/granddaughter wearing the same dress, accessorized very differently to be age appropriate!  Think about how you might be able to re-purpose something in your closet in a new way!
