Ask Fashion Girl

Dear Becky,

Spring/Summer 2001 continues to be "anything goes" in the world of fashion, so pick your favorite look and go with it! Check out these highlights:Enjoy a stunning color spectrum:

• BRIGHT colors paired together in unusual ways: orange with red, red with pink, orange with green, green with blue, turquoise with orange

• Wearing two or more items of the same color family in different shades

• Stark black and white (or with a touch of red)

• Gold, gold, gold! Also silver, bronze & copper. We haven’t seen the end of glitter, Glam, and glitz!

• Prints-mania: dots, small geometrics, stripes, gingham, florals, and paisleys inspired by every era from the 1920's to now —often worn in clashing combinations!

Let these hot accessories tie your looks together!

• Fishnet hose

• Cuff bracelets

• Big sunglasses

• Gold jewelry such as hoop earrings

• Big fake flower pins, chokers, and wristbands in fabric and leather

• Belts: extra-skinny, as in chains, or extra-wide, worn low on the hips

• Big rings with fake gemstones and large thrift store or vintage-y pins and brooches
• Oversized, embellished straw tote bags

Looks like the Rockstar look is staying on for a few more seasons!

• Leather or pleather skirts and pants, straight or flared, that ride low on the hips (Levi's Super-Low jeans)

• Flare-legged capris
• Tummy-baring tanks, tees, and muscle-tees in bright colors

• Embellishments and slashes, with rhinestones, studs, glittery logos, and cute phrases

Every which way possible, denim is definitely in. Wear it almost anywhere, with almost anything. Denim is the new neutral!

• Plain or embellished
• Vintage or true blue
• Stretched or relaxed
• Overdyed or bleached

Hope this helps!

Sincerely,
