The best and worst of 2014

So 2015 is just days away and while we scroll past the "new year new me" posts we have to look back at some of the best trends of 2014 and some of the not so best. 

Spring 2014

Florals

Flower power was perfect for the spring season. Florals appropriately trendy this past spring, were perfect when you wanted to add a touch of sweet to your outfit. Many added florals to their everyday wear this past spring and they were right to do so.

Sheer

This subtle detailing added so much "va va voom" to every fashionista's spring wardrobe. Sheer was perfect for spring this past year and proved it throughout the season. As we all can see!

Crop tops

If you haven't seen these, where have you been? Crop tops have dominated the fashion world in the warmer months of the year. Starting in spring 2014, crop tops continued to be huge in the summer season too. They are perfect for the hotter temperatures while still proving to be fashionable as ever.

Graphic

Fun prints were perfect for the season. They added some fun to the already fun season. Bold colors+ graphics= perfect outfit. Notice that the looks above are black and white which was perfect if you wanted trendy contrasting colors this past season. 

And...Not so much...

Sporty sandals were going to be huge for spring. Perfect for all your outdoor needs? Personally, never liked this look. Unless you are going for a hike or something outdoors you should probably pass these by.

Summer 2014

Ahh sweet summer, the warm sand in between our toes as the waves crash against the shore. The only disappointment about this season is that it's over.

Full skirts

Summer was the time to be lady like and elegant with a full skirt. I have missed this look with all the tiny shorts and twerking. This classic look made a comeback this summer and I wish it could have stayed just a little bit longer.

Bucket bags

Bigger bags were great for summer. More room for important stuff, money, phone, snacks. I loved this look because of the convenience and the perfect look it added to any outfit.

Sporty

Even if you spent most of your summer in bed watching Netflix, this season was great for sporty looks. Summer was the time to grab your brother's old baseball cap to complete your outfit. (Don't worry you can just dress sporty you don't have to actually workout! It's like yoga pants nobody does yoga in them) :)

Fancy crop tops

Crop tops in the day time, crop tops in the evening, crop tops all day every day. Summer continued with the crop top but this time added an elegant twist. Adding a pencil skirt or even a full skirt like the one above was perfect to dress up your summer nights.

And...not so much...

Peek a boo undies 

Never really liked this one. Yes the sheer is cute but nobody wants to see your Ralph Lauren undies, even if you want us to. Stick to layering and avoid the granny panties. 

Fall 2014

Fall fashion in 2014 has brought back a decade of great fashion while bringing in new styles that were perfect for this year.

Mod 60's look

The silhouettes, colors, detailing all screams 60's and we screamed for joy right back. These looks take us back to the decade of Twiggy and fun fashion. Perfect throwback for fall 2014.

Cozy Fall Knits

This fall was the perfect time to grab your biggest sweater and bundle up. Heavy knits were huge for this past Fall, maybe not head to toe for the average Jane but definitely a must for the season. 

Oversized coats

This fall bigger was better. Larger coats were huge this year. (See what I did there?) Some worried that a coat that lacks a strong silhouette would not be the best fit. I beg to differ because with this large coat you can eat as much as you want and nobody will ever know. (You're welcome)

Sneakers 

Fall was the perfect time to grab your pumped up kicks that weren't necessarily pumps. Sneakers, flats, and sandals were huge in Fall giving fashionista's feet a break but still looking cute as ever. Note: your mom's ugly tennis shoes do not count for this trend :)

And... Not so much...

Extreme turtlenecks

Personally, I'm not a fan of the turtleneck in general. So the extreme turtleneck is not my favorite. To me, the turtleneck is too much to the overall look. I feel like it's a great addition to the fall collections but...

As I look back at 2014 fashion, I get so excited for 2015 fashion. The new year might not change the rude girl from high school but it's definitely going to change the fashion world. New year, new fashion! 

Until then,

XOXO,
