 What fashion trends are hot right now?     Color blocking!           

All you need to know about current fashion trends are what trends are in right now. Nothing more, nothing less Achievable is the bridge that conects the runways to real women’s closets. Color blocking is a huge trend right now.  See above how color blocking looked on the runway.  Although very beautiful, I am not sure that these looks are practical for the everyday woman. 

How do I add this fashion trend into my wardrobe?

If you have built your Basic Classic Wardrobe adding color blocking  into your wardrobe is easy.  Select one item, as we have and mix it with your Basic Classic Wardrobe. We have added a  dress with color blocking to our Basic Classic Wardrobe.  Notice how we selected a dress that blends well with our Basic Classic Wardrobe.* You can select anything: a top, a pair of shoes, a pair of pants, a jacket, a purse   – you get the idea! 

Simply add one trend item to your wardrobe and watch your closet multiply!  As always, we have the AF logo next to our signature pieces.  

Where can I purchase these fashion trend items?

We found some great pastel choices for you. Because we want to make your fashion journey simple we always place choices at your fingertips. 

*When adding trends into your wardrobe make sure you purchase trends that will blend well with your wardrobe.  When purchasing multiple seasonal trends get items that work together.   A mistake people make when purchasing multiple items is purchasing items that do not work together.  If you can image, a pink and purple color block purse may not go well with a neon green flapper dress.  However, a black flapper dress will go well with other trends.   Purchasing wardrobe items that go well together help you get more mileage out of your wardrobe.

 Achievable Fashion was created out of my own desperation to get fashion right.  I like to remind everyone of that just in case anyone is thinking I am a fashion guru.  I am a busy woman who got sick of fighting with a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear.  

After years of struggling with an unworkable wardrobe I decided to put my love of systems to work and create a system for dressing. And here is Achievable Fashion.

 There are two steps to creating a great working wardrobe:

1. Build a Basic Classic Wardrobe
2. Update your Basic Classic Wardrobe Seasonally

 When we look at updating our wardrobes, us busy ladies need 3 questions answered:

 1. What is hot right now?

 2. How do I add this trend into my wardrobe, easily and inexpensively?

3. Where can I purchase these items?

 So to keep fashion effortless we will answer the above3 questions when we do our current fashion trend reports.  Nothing more, because that’s all you need.  So here we go.

 What is hot?                                                                          Bright Colors!

 Eye popping bright colors were seen all over the spring 2012 runways.  The above images are great examples of how bright color was used to create spring collections.  These eye popping colors are beautiful, but how do we add these into our wardrobes?  

 How do we add Bright Colors into our wardrobes?

 My former self used to flip through fashion magazines and wonder why all the current trends looked cute and adorable in the magazines but somehow when I tried them I  became  a candidate for the “how not to wear a trend” section.

 Now that I have created the Achievable Fashion Basic Classic Wardrobe (BCW), I have the key wardrobe pieces that mix and match to create unlimited looks.  Now adding current trends into my life is easy.

We have selected a bright pink top and bright pink shoes to mix with our BCW. As always our AF logo is next to our signature wardrobe pieces. 

Where can I purchase these items?

 Finding Bright Colors right now is easy.  As usual in an effort to make your fashion journey a bit easier, we have found some great selections for you.
