Why I love Spring -- Top trends for Spring 2010

by Amy Gordon Spring is that incredible time of year where fashion is always fabulous. Here is a list of what I love for Spring 2010:

1. Platform Shoes – Not only are they more comfortable than a regular heel, they are also usually a bit higher. Higher is sexier!

2. Caged Heels – They were around last Spring but they are everywhere this Spring and they are hot.

3. Nude Color Shoes – Again, you saw dribs and drabs this year and you had to have one pair. Now you need a few different styles Or I do anyway…

4. Nautical – Ok, don’t go over the top crazy and be corny about it but subtle nautical inspired looks are fresh and fun.

5. Navy Blue – Navy blue or deep shades of a marine color (goes along with the Nautical trend) are replacing black. I love it and can’t get enough.

6. Neons – I really didn’t think I would see the day where I was loving neon again but the way designers are integrating just a touch of neon with neutrals is fun. I wouldn’t spend a lot of money on this trend however as I think it will be gone next year.

7. Red Accessories – Hot red shoes, an resin Apple piece of jewelry, red clutch. I love them all as a netural thrown in with anything.

8. Skinny Jeans – These are the newly discovered love of my life. You get them hemmed and can wear any heigh heel with them!

~ What You Get For The Money ~
Bargain hunters often wonder why some people buy various expensive articles of clothing when they can purchase similar items at a lower cost. While I too sometimes opt for less expensive things, MOST of the time you get what you pay for.

So what is the difference between the white tee shirt at the Gap or a white tee shirt from Majestic. First and foremost is the fabric. I purchased a long sleeve cotton tee at the Gap last year and wore it no more than twice, while looking through my closet recently I noticed a small whole in the center of the garment. The bottom line is the fabric is simply poor quality. It was reasonably soft and it fit ok.

Then I have my Majestic tee shirts. The fabric is incredibly soft and luxurious. The fit is fantastic too. After washing them many times, they still maintain their shape and have no holes in the fabric or the seams. Additionally, the high-quality fabric doesn’t wrinkle.

This was just an easy example but this can be said for clothing across the board. You will find in higher quality garments have a better fit as well. More time is spent making them, better patterns are used, and there is more quality control. So while bargain shopping can be fun and I highly recommend it, keep this in mind when you are purchasing staples for your wardrobe or anything that you will want to keep for a long time.


So, be sure to grab one (or a few!) Majestic tees for yourself at Artfulwears.com
