How Do I Add Spring 2018 Fashion Trends to my Closet?

As fun as It is to flip through magazines and see trends on the runway, I’m not so sure about the practicality of what we see in the magazines. Example above, I don’t know anyone who would be able to wear the full length sequin gown while picking the kids up from school, do you? So the question becomes, how do I add trends to my closet? Answer, one trend at a time.

Spring Fashion Trends: Your Closet

Above are the everyday versions of the trends, how we, everyday women add trends to our closets. Magazines show the trends, but don’t explain how to add them to your life easily and inexpensively. To keep up with the fashion world, one needs to purchase an entire new wardrobe each season! Not with Achievable Fashion. We have you build your wardrobe once and done. (We call this wardrobe The Achievable Fashion Ultimate Wardrobe – a collection of basics every closet must have.) With the right basics, adding trends to your life is a snap. Click on each trend to see it mixed with The Ultimate Wardrobe.

If you are still wrestling with a closet full of nothing to wear, you most likely do not have the right basics and may not be ready for trends. Begin here.

Where can I get Budget Friendly Versions?

When you head out to grab spring fashion trends, keep 3 things in mind.

Trends need to work with what you have.
When purchasing multiple trends make sure they can be worn together.
Neutral equals mileage.

1. Any new item, trend or other, that is added to your closet must work well with what you already own. Otherwise it will be cast off, to the Island of Fashion Misfits; the every growing pile of nothing to wear that lives in your closet!

2. If planning to purchase multiple trends this season, be sure they can be worn together. The ability to wear trends together will multiply your looks.

3. Neutral equals mileage. There is nothing wrong with having fun with colors and textures. After all, trends are meant to be fun. Just keep in mind that you will be able to wear neutral items with more things than multicolored ones. .

We have put together a Pinterest board for each trend (click each trend to see). These boards are filled with shopping options and useful information.

That a rap for spring 2018 fashion trends!

John Hardy Inspired Bracelet – From Magazine to Your Closet

Hopefully by now you know that From Magazine to your closet is affordable alternatives to the current fashion trends in the magazines. The idea for this section of the Achievable Fashion Magazine came from my own frustration with fashion. I loved flipping through the latest fashion magazines; however I was always left disappointed. Although I loved the beautiful things I saw as I flipped through the pages of the magazines, nothing was ever attainable to me.

I will always believe that the fashion world caters to the “ultras “of the world, the ultra – rich, the ultra – thin and the ultra-beautiful. Achievable Fashion caters to everyone else, what I like to call everyday women or the masses.

In an attempt to bring fashion to all I decided to create the From Magazine to Your Closet section of the Achievable Fashion Magazine.

Each Month I flip through the magazines, pull out my favorite things and find everyday versions. This month my favs include these John Hardy bracelets. I love, love, love everything about them. Well almost everything. The price tag I do not love. The price of these bracelets is way out of my league, so I image they do not fit most budgets. After visiting the site I can tell you most bracelets here are well over $1000.00 each.

It is my mission to bring the magazines to your closet so I am quite pleased to highlight the bracelets I found at one of my go to fashion jewelry stores – fantasy jewelry box. I think you may agree that these bracelets are a great alternative to the designer inspiration ones.

I realize they may not be an exact match; I am never attempting to get exact matches, just fabulous alternatives to the unattainable version of current fashion trends.

Magazine to Your Closet – BVLGARI Statement Necklace!

After Searching through the latest fashion magazines, Elle, Vogue, Bazaar and others, there is one thing for sure; statement necklaces are a top accessory fashion trend for fall 2013.

As you know, Achievable Fashion caters to everyday women, the statement necklaces in the top fashion magazines aren’t really attainable to them.

So as usual I make it my job to interpret the latest fashion trends and find attainable alternatives to the high price versions of the latest fashion trends in the magazines.

Think of it like this, I bring the magazines to your closet! Sometimes the search for attainable versions of the latest fashion trends is easy and sometimes it’s impossible. I was so excited about this find.

This BVLGARI Necklace was in every magazine I flipped through this month. It is beautiful! I have no idea how much it is because I could not find this piece on the website. I can only say that much smaller pieces on the site were well over $10,000! Now, you know how I feel about this. If you are in that league and can afford it, by all means go for it. I, however, cannot and believe I am the norm.

So if you are like me, not able to afford the fashion trends you see in the magazines but love current fashion trends, Achievable Fashion will become your new BFF!

Here are two alternatives to the BVLGAI necklace. I like to call them the Achievable Fashion versions.

HSN, RJ Graziano. It also has a matching bracelet!

Article of the Month! Buy These 7 Pieces and Make 24 Fresh, Fabulous Outfits!

This article from Redbook Magazine is so Achievable Fashion that it gets the coveted Article of the month award!

To review, Achievable Fashion has one mission, rid women of their infamous closet full of clothes and nothing to wear. Let me step back and say that I did not set out to create Achievable Fashion; I simply set out to figure out why I had a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear. In figuring out why and creating my own solution Achievable Fashion was born.

Please let the record show that most women have a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear because they have never taken the time to build their Ultimate Wardrobes. If this is you, and you know who you are, please begin building your Ultimate Wardrobe with our Step 1 – Build Your Basic Classic Wardrobe!

Achievable Fashion keeps evolving, but our core idea still stands. Our core idea is that if you have the right wardrobe items in your closet you will actually have more with less. We have added to our Basic Classic Wardrobe and we now refer to our Basic Classic Wardrobe as step 1 to building The Ultimate Wardrobe. We will be adding Fall / Winter Basic Classic Wardrobe Add-ons, Summer Add-ons, Beach Add-ons, and Casual Add-ons, with more coming!

Back to this article from Redbook Magazine – Buy These 7 Pieces and Make 24 Fresh, Fabulous Outfits written by Chris Eckert 8 of the 12 items are in the Achievable Fashion Basic Classic Wardrobe and the other items are in are Add-on guides. You simply add trend items each season to multiply your closet and stay trendy.

When you have less items, but each item is perfect you can mix and match for multiple looks.

This article shows you how adding in some trendy items can give you tons of new looks as long as you have the basics. If I didn’t know it, I would think Achievable Fashion wrote this article!

Needless to say, I think this is the most useful article out there right now, which is why, is has won the coveted Achievable Fashion Article of the Month Award!!!

Read and enjoy!

White and Black Mod Love

I love what I do at Achievable Fashion. I really consider Achievable Fashion the bridge that connects the runways and magazines to real women’s closets.

Here is a trend I ripped from the March issue of Bazar Magazine. I love the sharpness of black and white.

The challenge is, the cheapest item on this page is Coach ring for $88. And I cannot buy an $88 ring! The next cheapest item is $345. Then the items climb in price steadily until we reach $4500 – for a bag that is smaller than my wallet! Yikes! Okay I am not implying that there is anything wrong if you are in this spending bracket – I just know that most of us are not!

So below is how we, the masses, add this mod love into our lives!

What Necklace with What Neckline?

Have you ever put on a necklace and thought, Oh this doesn’t work? If you are anything like me you have done so many times. The problem for me is that I am never quite sure why the necklace is a no go.

I know when a necklace looks good; I know when a necklace looks bad, I just have no clue why either way. The heaps of necklaces that are spilling out of my drawers and jewelry box rarely get worn because of this.

So, I have to say, I was thrilled to find this article in More Magazine. It explains what type of necklace to wear with what neckline.

I am convinced that part of the reason we are all living with a closet full of clothes and accessories with nothing to wear is that we don’t know how to wear what we have.

On my quest to rid every woman of her closet full of clothes and nothing to wear I happily share this article with you in hopes it helps!

Perfect Fit – Real Simple Fit Lab Party skirts

Love this article, “Fit Lab Party Skirts” in the December 2011 Real Simple Magazine. Okay, I know what you are thinking, its July what gives. Well like most real women I am a bit behind. LOL. The truth is we have been redesigning the Achievable Fashion website and the Achievable Fashion Magazine.

While working on the redesign not much sifting, sorting and reporting has been going on. Just in case you don’t know it, the Achievable Fashion Magazine is a report of all the useful fashion information out there. We sift through the sea of information, sort it out – taking out just the useful stuff – and report it to you. So hold tight, because of the break I will be sorting through a larger than normal sea of information, and will have lots to report.

Hopefully by now you know that we are on a mission to rid every woman of her closet full of clothes and nothing to wear. In fact in case you do not know it, Achievable Fashion was created out of my own desperation to rid myself of my closet full of clothes and nothing to wear. Trust me when I say I was living on Fashion Frustrated Lane!

Part of why most of us have a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear is that the clothes in our closets do not fit us correctly. We usually have 9 pairs of jeans with only 1 that fits – naturally we only wear the one that fits. So why, why, why do we have the other 8 pairs in the closet taking up our valuable space and time???

If we purchase clothes that fit us properly and that make us look fabulous we will be well on our way to ridding ourselves of that closet full of clothes and nothing to wear.

Anytime I find articles that help with getting the right fit I highlight them so you can read them and learn some new tricks. This article – “Fit Lab Party Skirts” – will help you find the perfect fitting party skirt. And although this article came out in December 2011 I know you will utilize it for many parties to come! And hey, I am super early for the holidays this year!

We Love The 15 Dollar Store!

Check out the $15 Dollar Store. Yes, everything is $15 dollars on this site. Really great deals. The only challenge is that they do not take any returns at all. So be sure you know your size and style. I can’t purchase pants from here because I never know my size, but tops and shoes I can! Check out the deals on this site.
