Style Resolutions: Trends to Trash and Trends to Try

• Trash: Bright Faux Furs

• Try: Bejewled Adornments

  Major embellishments were all over the runway this year, from sweaters to shoes. Start small with an adorable accessory to make sure you don’t overdose on the bling.

• Trash: Neon

  Neon just refuses to die, and we’ll admit to partaking a little too much in the trend this past year. For 2013, resolve to find a fresh new color palette, like the rich jewel tones spotted on the spring runways.

• Try: Velvet

  This rich, luxurious fabric might remind you of childhood, but it’s so much more than that. Try it on blazers, t-shirts, or leggings for a luxe addition to your wardrobe.

• Trash: Headdresses

  Hair adornments can be enhance your look,, but in some cases, they just make you look like you’re wearing a costume. We’ll save these for Halloween.
