For my Fashion Styling and
Photography class, we had to do a blog shoot for one of our assignments.
Our theme was picking out popular fashion trends that are being worn
and sold in stores right now. For this class, five of us worked in a
group and produced photo shoots every so often. I cannot wait to post
the formal shoots we did in class! The model for this shoot was Nicole
Clancy and the photographer was Jessica Vlachos.
Neon, Neon, and more Neon!:
For
the past few seasons, neon has been extremely prominent in apparel and
accessories. For this summer season, it will continue to be popular and
used in new and exciting ways. If you love neon, you can easily pair
neon colors and accessories together through a print, like in this
picture. If you are not comfortable using all neon in your outfit, neon
can easily be paired with neutral colors. The statement is just as
powerful as all the neon colors put together.

Pastel, Floral, and Mixing Prints:
For
this spring and summer season, pastel colors have been featured in
almost every aspect of apparel and home decor. Turquoise, light blue,
and a mint green are the most popular pastel colors and are featured in
almost every retail store. There are several types of floral prints out
right now, some being realistic and others more abstract. Mixing and
matching prints are also trending, but must be thought out before
executed. Looking for a common color or theme within the prints can help
pull it together. For this outfit, it is the mint green featured in the
bag and the mint green in the shoe.

Maxi Dresses & Tribal Prints:
This
summer maxi dresses will be available in a variety of styles, prints,
fabrics, and colors. Hi-Low maxi dresses will be the most popular out of
all the styles, that will be offered this summer. Statement choker
necklaces can easily be paired with most strapless maxi dresses as an
added accessory, but be careful to not go overboard. In some cases, less
is more. Tribal prints will also be popular this summer for apparel and
accessories. If you are looking to try out a more country or western
feel, tribal prints may give you the look you are trying to achieve.
