Should “buy now and dispose of later” be your motto when it comes to fashion?
2017 has been a year of fads, fast fashion, and bold accessories.
How many of these items are in your closet?
People are wearing their feelings and words more and more."
Although humorous, it’s a brutally honest statement that, frankly, applies to most of us.
Unfortunately, this trend is not here to stay.

Levine says cutouts won’t be out for fall.
Personally, she loves this style.
“It is the peek-a-boo detail that makes the look both exciting and sexy.”
If that feels a little too exposed for fall, she suggests pairing this trend with a jacket.

If you cannot afford a flashy, new designer handbag, don’t buy a fake.
Buy designer resale instead.
Some of the items are gently used and others can be new with tags.
Either way, second-hand is a great alternative to buying fakes.
He told me “I strongly believe that most of Instagram travel boho will be gone by 2018.
