You did!! <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-so-2013">Here it is!!&nbsp;</a></p> <p>Here's what Angie said:&nbsp;</p> <p><i>2013 is about two general style concepts:&nbsp;</i> <ul> <li><i>Unstructured Structure</i></li> <li><i>Irregular Item Juxtapositions</i></li> </ul> So...we still have irregular item juxtaposition (that's what made Mo's outfit so 2014).&nbsp;<br /><i><br />"Unstructured structure"&nbsp;</i> has morphed a bit into oversized with just-enough-structure.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think the other three categories are partially encapsulated by #2. But the "trend" items change.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-whats-very-2014#post-1187130 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 01:58:55 +0000 Angie 1187130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's essentially what I do, unfrumped.&nbsp;</p> <p>And I fixed my typos, Una. Sorry I'm illiterate sometimes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-whats-very-2014#post-1186928 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 22:43:50 +0000 unfrumped 1186928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What mo said is where I really want to learn to do. Not replace large numbers of things but add a few and toss a few and keep creating new looks from the base. Sometimes by adding the new thing but sometimes just recombining. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-whats-very-2014#post-1186923 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 22:38:45 +0000 catgirl 1186923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie!

A certain plainness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-whats-very-2014#post-1186891 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 22:07:00 +0000 Angie 1186891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Five things:&nbsp; </p> <ol> <li><i>Irregular Outfit Juxtapositio</i>n - especially mixing up super casual with super formal. Ball gowns with Wedge Sneakers. Sequins with shredded jeans. Seasonally confused outfits.&nbsp;</li> <li><i>Oversized with JES</i> (Just Enough Structure)&nbsp;</li> <li><i>Wearing Modern&nbsp;Classics with Tren</i>ds&nbsp;(<b>my best</b>) - e.g. Classic white Salvatore Ferragamo loafers with baggy BF jeans, upscale sweatshirt and clutch.&nbsp;</li> <li><i>It's Hip to be Square</i> - so called nerdy and frumpy&nbsp;and hectically unfashionable looks are fashion forward. Catwalks and street style at all the fashion weeks are full of this look.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li> <li>High-Low style - (<b>I love this one too</b>).&nbsp;</li> </ol> <p>Fashion is all about CREATING&nbsp;YOUR OWN LOOK. Take the trends and run with them<i>&nbsp;your </i>way.&nbsp;</p> <p>And I love it.&nbsp;</p> <p>AND, Anne cracks me up.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-whats-very-2014#post-1186874 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 21:53:28 +0000 Anonymous 1186874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am saying this off the cuff but I remember reading somethig Angie said that 2014 was to do with juxtapositions? I can't recall where I read it or if indeed it was an actual thing or my own interpretation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-whats-very-2014#post-1186421 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:38:33 +0000 Mo 1186421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I get what Una meant - what is it about the compilation of the outfits that makes them so 2014. &nbsp;Not what are the separate trends. &nbsp;How it's all put together. &nbsp;Like pattern mixing was a thing a few years back. &nbsp;Juxtaposition was fresh and new a few seasons before that, etc, etc. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-whats-very-2014#post-1186410 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:29:53 +0000 always trying 1186410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>certainly variety.&nbsp; One big thing i am seeing, possibly because i am seriously looking, are a lot more elbow sleeves in not just t-shirts, but dresses and other types of tops too.</p> <p>definately loafers, lots of styles and lengths in pants.&nbsp; skinnies seem to be less-like Angie said-the sausage casing look is going by, by.</p> <p>havn;t seen much in forcasters yet this spring, but remembering last spring an article said gladiator sandals were going out, but what I am seeing is they are still very much "in".<br />Bottom line for me is--It is going to be fun to experiment with putting together outfits from a bigger variety of items.&nbsp; <br />I am not seeing the pinks I thought were supposed to be out there-only pink I am seeing is the bubble gum pink, and it is not my color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-whats-very-2014#post-1186382 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:06:43 +0000 April 1186382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the single most common element that's making things look current is the "fluid fit." &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-whats-very-2014#post-1186379 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 14:56:43 +0000 texstyle 1186379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seems to me the "unexpected" is def. on trend for 2014. Mixed ethnic and animal patterns, distressed jeans rolled up with pointy loafers, pastels in modern shapes, florals in odd places (shoes, bombers). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-whats-very-2014#post-1186171 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 07:30:38 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1186171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Prints seem to be coming back; for a while there it was all solids and maybe a stripe or colorblock occasionally. A lot of prints I haven't seen in a while, like florals at all scales and little ditsy prints. And faux-prints, I.e. sweaters in a marled color scheme or textured multicolor look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-whats-very-2014#post-1186162 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 07:18:13 +0000 catgirl 1186162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess my question is not so much the items but the outfits... Again, using Mo and Ceit as examples if possible! :). Glad I'm not alone though.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-whats-very-2014#post-1186146 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 06:22:16 +0000 deb 1186146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the pointy toes.

Being unattuned to spring trends (because that is a ways away), what IS 2014? Not in terms of items which I kind of know, but in terms of putting together outfits - Ceit's BF look and Mo's python pants with b/w top for example. What are the common denominators?</p> <p>Someone please educate my sorry self! </p>
