Fashionally speaking (yes, I just made up a word) 2009 was filled with many fun surprises. Embellishments were huge as were bold, architectural, statement pieces. The 90′s made an appearance (cursing the fact that I ditched all of my Doc Martens a few years back) but the 80′s still held strong with leggings galore, pleated pants and lots of structured shoulders – minus the “Working Girl” vibe.
Trends that will carry over into 2010 – exposed zippers, sequins, studs, lace, leather and faux fur.
Trends that should say goodbye with 09′ – paisley, fringe (in large doses anyway) anything Ed Hardy related (gross!) and Lady Gaga. Okay so she’s not so much a trend as a pet peeve. I”m sorry but put some damn pants on already!
Below are some of my favorite looks from 09′.
