Trend Watch: Rompers
Are we all ready for some mixed feelings? Rompers – half childhood past time (emphasis on past…) and half potentially sexy, gamine summer piece. How are we supposed to feel about this? Nostalgic? Excited? Childlike? I think most of us are just confused, and are erring on the side of “ew”. At least that’s how [...]
Trend Watch: Sequin Mania
The last ten years have been a trend-watching blur: we’ve seen almost every decade resurface for at least a brief moment before slowly fading away. The current, high-controversy era in our midst is the late 1980s. Only being in our mid-twenties, the eighties are an era we Demoiselles spent little time in, and truth be [...]
Trend Watch: White Denim
J. Brand skinnies at RevolveClothing.com How brave are you? Now that white denim is back in fashion, that question has arisen in the mind of many a fashion-loving woman: What can I wear it with? Will it make me look fat? What if I spill something? What style is best for my body? This trend [...]
Short Girl Blues
To clarify, I’m short. I’m the kind of girl that needs every pair of jeans altered, whether it’s so she doesn’t trip over herself or because she wants to finally be able to wear flats without ruining the hem of her pants. I’m the kind of girl that wears “ankle length” jeans with heels; the [...]
Trying the Trends You Fear
Here at The Demoiselles, we discuss almost every trend that comes across the board. By doing this, I’ve come to realize I have this very anti-hipster attitude when it comes to style. I’m not into the shade sunglasses (they have them at Topshop and they’re overpriced + overrated if you ask me). I think it’s [...]
The Preventative Fear
We all have it. The Preventative Fear, or the feeling you get when you see a new trend arise, look at yourself in the mirror, and say “Oh, well… It’s cute, but I… I could never wear it… Not with these [insert body part here]s!” For me, it’s been strapless dresses, short shorts (well, shorts [...]
First Flight: The Bubble Hem
After reading all of your questions and concerns last week, all three of us at The Demoiselles decided to try the voluminous bubble hem trend. You’ll remember some of our concerns about the product: added volume; a round, balloon-like shape; over-accentuated curves and extra fabric that hides features. Could we find a dress that fit the [...]
Trend Watch: Bubble Hems
Bubble hems: the name alone sounds ominous in the ears of body-conscious women everywhere. Some words we associate with the idea of “bubble” – round, bulbous, or god forbid, “full of air” – make actually buying anything that could be associated with it unsavory at best. But this trend, like all trends, has to work [...]
