Small challenge idea: Trendy or non- trendy piece

Sal

After reading through the responses to the trend topics this week I wondered if a small challenge might be fun - and a way to wear something authentic to us in these horrible times. It was great to see a few WIW this morning.

Either

Wear a currently trendy item in a classic way

Wear a non- trendy item in a trendy way....

Or both.

We won't get caught up with semantics about trends - it is all open for interpretation. I may think my white sneakers are trendy, you may say classic, another might say dated. Your opinion is good enough for me.

I was inspired by Kellygirl who posted two fantastic leggings looks today. They totally inspired me to wear leggings again - because she nailed the look.

Any other ideas?

If you have photos of looks that meet the idea share them too.

Thanks
Sally

Accepting your challenge!

FWIW, ‘trendy’ has never been a bad thing to me. I differentiate between trendy and fad. Trendy usually has some legs, whereas a fad usually smacks of the ridiculous. However, even a fad can be fun!

Oh interesting! A trendy item in a non-trendy way, what would that be? (She asks herself.) Non-trendy in a trendy way seems easier. Looking forward to the interpretations.

Shevia - not sure....I have an idea that I will experiment with.

Carla - I agree... and it could all be in the semantics. After thinking about "trends" the last week I decided that while I don't think of myself as very fashion forward, I was more influenced than I realised. I wondered if I wore trendy pieces in a classic way? And we all know the really stylish people who can wear something so not in fashion but make it look amazing.....(and start a new trend!)

Rachy - please do!!
