Frock Off

It’s okay to be unbalanced.

I saw tons of assymetrical style dresses and tops. I remember a few years back (well maybe more than a few) when everyone had the one strapped tops. Well they’re going to be back in again this spring. I also like the tee shirts with only one sleeve and unbalanced halters. Take a look below. I was too lazy to upload these so take a look at them at my flickr page, or click the picture below for the slideshow.

I’m really excited for all the spring 2008 fashion shows to start. This week is New York Fashion week. Here are a few early trends I’ve spotted.

I liked how there was a lot of play with color. Some items resembled tie-dye, others looked like mixed paint on a canvas. There were a few gradient colored dresses and dresses with color blocking.

70’s revival - Tie-dye - The Grey Ant shirt to the left is very wearable. The Josh Goot tank is a not-so heavy handed approach to rainbow tie-dye.

Finger painting - Just like in preschool except for the sake of fashion. It’s time to wear your art.

Have all the shades of your favorite color.

Color by numbers. The Abaete dress to the far right will now be known as Neapolitan dress. Since its for the summer, how appropriate.

Shopbop.com released their fall trends lookbook earlier this week. Here are some of my personal picks from Tailored Femme, Modern Flapper, The Avante-Garde, and Ski Bunny.

When I was checking my email this morning, there was a Top Shop email and it had this sweater in it.

Definitely love at first site. It’ll make a great addition to my wardrobe since chunky knits are in this fall. I’ll be wearing it with dark wash wide-legged jeans or a basic black penicl skirt.

At first I thought the highwaisted pants trend was great but now I’m not so sure. I’m still deliberating…I’ll get back to you guys on my final decision.
