Look for tops and bodysuits with rib cage prints or cut outs, or shorts and leggings with pelvic bone and leg bone prints.&#160; It's definitely an edgy alternative to skulls!&#160; I recommend wearing something like the x-ray bodysuit under a neon skater skirt or a pair of high waist cut off shorts.&#160; The x-ray leggings would look great with a bright colored tunic and a cropped leather jacket.</p>...<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://teenfashion.about.com/b/2013/03/30/2821.htm">Read Full Post</a></p> http://teenfashion.about.com/b/2013/03/30/2821.htm Sat, 30 Mar 2013 21:52:09 +0000 2013-03-30T21:52:09Z http://teenfashion.about.com/b/2013/03/30/off-shoulder-tops.htm <p>&#160;</p> <p><img class="alignleft" src="http://0.tqn.com/h/teenfashion/1/H/B/d/-/-/offshouldertops.png" alt="off shoulder tops" />One thing I'm in love with for the Spring, summer, and even Fall (yes, I see girls wearing this top during colder months too!) is off shoulder tops.&#160; Not just any off the shoulder top, but the style that actually looks like it's falling off due to the drapey long sleeves.&#160; The secret is, these tops fit like a tube top with elastic around the bust, and the sleeves are only partially sewn on, to give it that effortless look.</p>...<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://teenfashion.about.com/b/2013/03/30/off-shoulder-tops.htm">Read Full Post</a></p> http://teenfashion.about.com/b/2013/03/30/off-shoulder-tops.htm Sat, 30 Mar 2013 21:51:31 +0000 2013-03-30T21:51:31Z http://teenfashion.about.com/b/2013/01/30/microtrend-of-the-moment.htm <p>Fashion trends can be hit or miss; even as a lover of fashion I can admit this!&#160; But here's one that I love -- watercolor prints.&#160; They're so pretty, feminine, and a great alternative to traditional floral prints for spring.&#160; I'm seeing everything from brush stroke prints, to floral water color prints, to shades that are inspired by watercolor-like pastels.&#160; <img class="aligncenter" src="http://0.tqn.com/h/teenfashion/1/H/9/d/-/-/watercolorprints.png" alt="watercolor prints" />Watercolor plus size blouse by Forever21.com;

I think it looks great on or with anything, it adds texture to any outfit and an edge to anything girly.&#160; So it's not hard to fathom that I'm a huge fan of leather inserts, one of the hottest trends from fall/winter, that will hopefully carry over throughout Spring as well.&#160;

No, that's not an actual candy wrapper pictured above; yes, it is indeed a purse and it's large enough to hold all of your stuff in it for a night out on the town.&#160; So what do you think -- do you love or hate this trend?&#160; For me personally, I'm not a big fan; they're a bit too cumbersome and kitschy, but they definitely <em>are </em>fun so I can see why some girls love them!</p>...<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&#038;zu=http://teenfashion.about.com/b/2013/01/16/microtrend-of-the-moment-candy-wrapper-clutches.htm">Read Full Post</a></p> http://teenfashion.about.com/b/2013/01/16/microtrend-of-the-moment-candy-wrapper-clutches.htm Wed, 16 Jan 2013 03:44:18 +0000 2013-01-16T03:44:18Z http://teenfashion.about.com/b/2012/12/30/microtrend-of-the-moment-garter-leggings.htm <p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://0.tqn.com/h/teenfashion/1/H/1/d/-/-/garterleggings.png" alt="garter leggings" /></p> <p>Now here's a controversial trend that I'm seeing pop up in more fashion-forward circles -- garter leggings (also called suspender leggings).&#160; Popularized by Australian brand Black Milk, affordable garter leggings in a variety of fabrics, colors, and even prints, are making their way into the mainstream.&#160; For the daring few who want to take on this trend, they look best with a high low tunic or oversized sweater.&#160;

Most people love being given something enjoyable that they normally wouldn't buy for themselves.&#160; One of my favorite potential gifts that falls into that exact category is the Pop Phone by fashionista favorite, Rebecca Minkoff.&#160; It's a handset for your iphone, and it comes in three great graffiti prints.
