Hello all you aspiring fashionistas!

It’s me again --  reigning teen fashion icon Veronica Lodge here to give you the lowdown to the hottest late summer trends. This summer, smock dresses have been all the rage. But this look can be difficult to pull off, and if not done correctly could leave you looking frumpy and unshapely. So how do you make it look fabulous, you ask? Simple. Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize. Pull in the sides of the dress and pin a stylish brooch on the front to show off your waistline. Nothing too flashy though, maybe something antique or old fashioned. Or you could throw on a vest or light scarf to add some layers. Another option is a rope belt and long necklace. And never forget about the shoes! A little heel can go a long way, but nothing too crazy with this look. However, I prefer this style with some funky flats.

Another trend making a huge splash, especially as the cooler season approaches, is pencil skirts and boxy shaped tops, The skirt should be past the knee and form fitting, but not so tight that you can’t walk. The top should be loose but not overly baggy, reaching just at your hip, and have three quarter inch sleeves. Solid colors work great, but if you are going to choose a top with patterns, horizontal shapes would pull the look off best, along with square cut or straight neck lines. Airy sweater-like tops are ideal. Skip the flats for this outfit, and keep the jewelry simple.

Well, that’s your fashion expert advice for now. Now go knock ‘em dead, girls! ;)
