TRENDWATCH: Teal

teal
By Intern Lauren

Teal seems to be a huge player in this Fall’s color palette. We see it popping up in both women’s wear and men’s wear; clothing and accessories. Deep teal is the shade we’re looking at, although lighter shades have been seen as a twist. It’s also been incorporated into prints and furs, as seen in Prada, Fendi, and Louis Vuitton runway shows.

To match this trend, we have handpicked some of our items to help you rock your own runway style.

First off, we have a nice little sweater by Petite Sophisticate. We picked this item because not only does it fall into our BB Trendwatch sights, but because it is practical for the upcoming fall weather. The lower neckline and the accented detailing on the front flatters all chest types. Style Tip: pair with jeans and a light grey blazer for a layered fall look. (Petite Sophisticate; $12)

Next up we have a vintage collared shirt by Josephine. This shirt features some gold zipper detailing around the neck and a covered placket with snaps on the underside. Style Tip: Wear this shirt tucked in with a leather skirt to pull in the leather trend as well. (Josephine; $13.50)

This ruffle Joie shirt features shirring around the waist and button detailing on the front. It has a cute flirty appeal that works in all types of environment. Style Tip: Pair with a pair of skinny jeans for a casual look. For a night out you can wear it with a short black skirt and some shiny heels. To wear for a job interview pair with a black blazer with ruffle accents and black skinny pants. (Joie; Small; $23)

Lastly we’re featuring a BCBG Maxaria dress. The angles on this diamond print are very flattering to the body, as it brings the eye inward. The neckline is slimming to broader shoulders. Lastly, we will feature a handkerchief hem to add some dimension. Style Tip: For a night out, pair with coral heels and a silver clutch. (BCBG Maxaria; 4; $22)

Tank Top Dress- Joyce Leslie via Blackbird Attic
Floral Tights- Wet Seal
Silver Cuff- Forever 21
Necklace- Vintage
Etc Jewelry- Forever 21, Vintage, Pac Sun

I wanted the leggings of my outfit to be the Focal Point. Therefore I paired them with solid colored items. The yelow tank pulls out some of the cream colors in the flowers, making them a little brighter and pop a little more.

What I Wore Today: 10/3/2011

I've been wearing a lot of H&M and own a lot of H&M... so you'll be seeing H&M quite often in that little list below! Working there was actually one of my first jobs and it got me really interested in working in the fashion industry. It introduced me to styling and target marketing. H&M has visual merchandisers for each store, but they would let me dress a mannequin here and there and it was my favorite thing about working there. It's not always the most obvious thing (well it wasn't to me before I knew!) but they have different sections in the store geared to the different ages and styles of their customers. One section is more for teens, while the other is geared more towards adults, but I always find things in every section that I love.

Top- H&M
Skirt- American Apparel
Tights- H&M
Shoes- Crown Vintage (from DSW)
