From Trendy to Timeless

Random fact about Lauren: I majored in Apparel Merchandising at Baylor (sic 'em!) and one of my classes was Trend Forecasting. I remember in that class we talked about the difference between trends and staples. For example - a trend is something that is cool for a season, then goes out. Like, way out. Think jelly sandals in the 90's. A staple is something that you can buy and wear season to season because it's classic and timeless. I'm sure you've seen tons of plaid this year, paired with fur (or faux fur!) vests. In my opinion, I think this is becoming a classic look and one that we'll continue to see year after year!

Faux Fur Vest | Plaid Shirt | Watch | Bracelet | Gold Wishbone Necklace | Sunnies | Skinny Jeans | Booties | Quilted Clutch

I love this combo (of plaid and faux fur) because it somehow feels cute and comfy, yet chic all at the same time. It's such an easy look to throw on for running errands, or dress it up with a pair of leather leggings for a date night out.
