s/s '07 predictions... you heard it here first!
Published Tuesday, July 04, 2006 by elana.
Since f/w '06 has already been digested and processed (patent leather... black... skinny bottom, interesting voluminous top... long hemlines [which I personally think is a bit premature]... ]), I'm starting to think about s/s '07 already. Have you given it any thought? What are you seeing? Or, what are you WANTING? If you know already, I give you credit, as I have no IDEA what I'll want to wear (or if circumstances will dictate my wardrobe, for that matter) come next spring. I'm too busy enjoying all the platform* heels and anticipating the patent leather (I'd like to buy one piece. If not now, then when?).
But anyway, here's what I'm predicting:
- Pink and brown. Yes, again. But this time with no polka dots in sight. Less sweet/graphic, more about flattering the skin.
- Tea-length dresses. It's been far too long, and, if everyone jumps on the looong hemlines this fall (and still isn't interested in gypsy skirts), it'll feel right. Plus, after the layers and the tightness and the anything-but-ladylike stuff (don't get the wrong idea - I love it) we'll want to ease back into girly territory again. Ease being the operative word. I can't see it being princess-y.
- Simple, small silver jewelry.
- Beige - pinky mauve - canary yellow - white - brown - tangerine
- Flats with a built-in, covered platform in soft leathers
- ample-sized bucket-y bags in light, textured leathers for day, the return of the beaded baguette for night (I'm TELLING you!! go check your closet!).
and more, which I will elaborate on later. 'Til tomorrow.
*which hold a special place in my heart; I teetered on them through much of middle and high school. Once, with a black wool a-line skirt, a black long-sleeved top made of fine netting with black marabou at the wrists, a black camisole (underneath, if you're trying to picture it) and hot pink or vibrant purple (one forgets) opaque tights layered under black fishnets. It seemed tasteful at the time I suppose. Suffice to say, I like to think I got it together a little since then. The platforms still make me swoon, though. Some things never change.
