From the Runway, With Love
Happy fast fashion Friday! Today we give thanks H&M, the Swedish retailer who has dressed us in head-to-toe designs from the Queen B’s of fashion. Prior to retailers like H&M, the Vogue’s of the world flaunted looks from the runway in our faces leaving us starved and restless. Thankfully H&M took a stand and made the pages of the magazines items in our closet. Now Matthew Williamson’s psychedelic prints have clothed us, Jimmy Choo’s heels have adorned our feet and Stella McCartney has contributed to our already present sophistication and charm. The ladies below prove just how thankful we are to H&M and we can’t wait to see what comes next!

WHITE JEANS
These GO ladies make white jeans look so easy and super chic. Although sometimes white pants can be a little risky, they are a great alternative for the spring time. Try pairing them with a slightly oversized top and brown or neutral accessories. Check out these celebrities who also make this trend work and the GO ladies below.

PIRATE CHIC
We’ve noticed a few ladies on GO expressing interest in wearing oversized shirts with belts (because it’s more flattering to show your figure), but not knowing how to avoid the dreaded “pirate look”. We think these ladies definitely work the look by keeping the volume a little slimmer with their blouses, and not wearing their belts too low slung.
What to wear: H&M, Jessica Simpson

TUCK IT IN
Follow the lead of Blake Lively (chic enough to be escorted by Karl Lagerfeld!) and pump up your outfit by tucking in your top. It’s a simple idea, but if your look seems a little drab or unflattering, chances are a simple tuck in may just do the trick!

All of the Above Jean!
Throughout the ’90s, whether you were a star on Saved By The Bell or Beverly Hills 90210 or just an ordinary Joe, head-to-toe denim was a wardrobe staple. Sadly, when the decade ended, so did the trend. A denim overload was pretty much as ostracized by the fashion community as were shoulder pads and scrunchies. But, like everything else (except scrunchies of course), denim made a comeback and is now hotter than ever. Denim button downs and denim shorts over leggings played a serious role in our winter fashion wardrobes and now, the trend is coming out in full force as spring rapidly approaches. January Jones dressed down her gown by throwing on a jean jacket (a trick that works with any outfit) and these GO ladies prove that denim deserves a WearIt in almost any capacity!
