Still PINK and going strong.  Only 11 more days to go!  I’m going to add some blue with my pink and white today. 

It is going to be a beautiful fall day (finally!) here in Atlanta.  We’ve just about missed it all together.  The energy is picking up and I can see already the trees in the stores for Christmas going up.  It’s funny though to see Halloween and Christmas things going up at the same time. Hmm, guess the retailers are going to try to get a jump on things while they can.

I’ve already started looking a Spring 2010 things.  Focusing on trends I sometimes find it difficult to make purchasing decisions because trends come and go.  I remember when I was first in retail getting excited about all the new things in the store.  Then within 2 weeks I would tire of them and want to see what was coming next. 

We’ve talked about the importance of good core pieces, adding accent (color) pieces.  Today I want to impress upon you the impact accessories can bring to your wardrobe.  By focusing on classic core pieces and adding your best accent (color) pieces, you can get fun and hip (trendy) with your accessories.  Trends will come and go but classic pieces remain in your wardrobe long after they are gone.

So this season, try some fun new accessories.  Look at the trends.  Do you want a little motorcycle influence?  How about some fringe or a flower?  Don’t go overboard with it, but add some subtle touches.  It’s a trend that you’ll be able to carry off in accessories (fringe on your handbag-a flower on your sweater, or maybe even a little “bib” necklace).  Try it and you’ll feel on trend this season.
