The Mittens Trend 2020
If you haven’t noticed, it is cold and snowy in most places (depending on where you live). This can only mean one thing, it is wintertime! Since I live in the Midwest, I like to think I have a special skill in noticing cute and super functional winter apparel. Therefore, I submit to you the trendiest winter accessory: mittens. This is a trendy item I have picked up on over the winter of 2019-2020, however, I fully expect to see it continue for the next several years. Why? Because mittens are so simple and timeless that the trend it can last up to ten years with a few variations along…

A Must Have Item for Winter 2019-2020
Out with the old and in with the new is the song of the winter season it seems. Turtlenecks never really go out of style when it comes to a winter wardrobe, however, they do take on many different variations depending the current trends. This winter 2019-2020 season is seeing a resurgence in the mock turtleneck! I’m not the biggest fan of the traditionally tall turtleneck, but I love a good mock turtleneck. Matter of a fact, mock turtlenecks have been a small part of my layering wardrobe ever since I could remember! If you are looking to invest in some cute layering options, mock turtlenecks are the perfect go-to…

Mad About Fall Plaid
Plaid is definitely something that you will see quite a lot of during the fall the season. However, there are some ways to change up this typical pattern for the season! Today I want to share a take on the plaid that we have all become familiar with. Sherpa has made, what I would call, quite the surface in fashion. It feels like there is everything you could imagine being sherpa lined including gloves, hats, and jackets. However, the sherpa item you will be seeing most frequently is the sherpa pullover. Which brings me to the new twist on plaid that we are talking about today. In a unique twist…

Versace Spring 2020
If there is one takeaway from this entire Fashion Month, it is that retro is going to be the flavor of spring 2020! In last week’s Look Book post “80s Inspiration & Structured Sleeves“, I keyed in on this fashion concept. Although a lot of these looks will be a hot and heavy trend for spring 2020, I have seen hints of it even now in the fall. The most important fashion trend for spring 2020 will be structured shoulders. This is influenced by a mixture of time eras like the Victorian era, the 40s, and the 80s. Of course, we all remember that shoulder pads were an fashion item…

80s Inspiration & Structured Sleeves
There’s a lot to love about the 80s, but the first thing to pop into your mind is probably not the clothing. When people think of this decade they usually categorize the clothing as neon, sweatbands, and a ton of shoulder pads. However, there are a lot of style cues that are being picked up bu the fashion industry in our modern era from the structure of 80s clothing. The first of many things have been the neon trend that has taken over fashion for quite some time now. If you have been reading Faintly Familiar over the past year of its existence, then you know I was way ahead…

Elegant Scallops
Tomorrow marks the beginning of the best time in the entire year — fall! This is my absolute favorite season for many reasons, but one of this reasons is certainly the fashion. The colors that go along with autumn are some of the most lovely shades of each variety and they mix well together, too! I cannot think of a better dress to kick off this new season than this burgundy, scalloped dress! Burgundy is such a flattering color on everyone and it always makes for an elegant look. This particular dress is designed to be a scalloped t-shirt dress which makes it a pretty great choice for the warmer…

A Little Bit of Lace
Today’s featured item on the Faintly Familiar “Look Book” is an item sharing a lace detail that is right on trend with all of the lace trimmings of the season! Even on the runways for spring 2020 there are so many different designs that include some kind of lace detailing. Personally, I have always been a fan of any kind of collar, but especially the Peter Pan collar! This top that I found from Shein combines a fun and classic trend with the collar detail that I love. This particular top will be great for the autumn season, too! The collar will be perfect as a base layer underneath a…

The Must Have Bag of Fall 2019
Bags are the kind of accessory that you can easily switch up depending on the outfit you are wearing and complete the overall look. They are also an accessory that can change the appearance of an outfit you are rewearing (because, let’s be honest, we all rewear outfits and there is nothing wrong with that) and just by choosing a different bag you can reinvent the entire feeling of that ensemble. Despite the chameleon-like effect bags have on an outfit, there are always those few silhouettes or sizes that you may prefer. These are the classic, go-to fashion items that create what you will be known for in your daily…
