Trend Fashion 2011 (Woman Magazine - Fashion & Beauty Editor)

Back to The 80's

Era 80-an kembali mewarnai trend Fashion 2011. Saya akan mengulas sedikit tentang Street Fashion di tahun 2011. Di tahun 2010 kita banyak melihat skinny jeans dan legging, namun Street Fashion di tahun 2011 ini akan lebih fokus pada pemakaian bahan yang membuat Anda bergerak lebih aktif, dan nyaman. Tampilan yang edgy, cenderung casual namun unik. Contohnya street fashion shirt yang dapat dipakai menjadi tampilan yang unik dan stylish, dengan aksen funny buttons, aksen warna, ataupun kerah. Dengan kembali pada era 80an, celana akan dibuat lebih loose, high waist skinny pants yang dipakai hingga pinggang akan menjadi trend street fashion 2011. Anda dapat kembali melihat celana yang di pakai up to waist dan dipadukan dengan a tuck-in shirt.

Untuk musim panas, Blazer dengan motif floral warna-warni yang di combine dengan celana pendek berwana pastel pun akan terlihat apik. Tentunya dipadukan dengan tas dari bahan polyester berwarna cokelat ataupun hitam yang terkesan handy. Atau baggy pants dengan trench coat dan topi dapat membuat tampilan Anda menarik. Pemakaian Trench Coats, Jacket, Blazer, Mini Jacket dan Mini Blazer pun akan menghiasi trend street fashion 2011. Serta topi straw sun, topi fedora sebagai aksesori pelengkap, ataupun stocking dengan warna gelap yang membuat kepribadian Anda semakin terpancar. Untuk sepatu, flatshoes, ballerina, wedges ataupun stiletto dapat dipadu padankan dengan pakaian yang Anda gunakan.

Trend warna pakaian 2011 akan lebih didominasi dengan warna-warna pastel. Warna pastel adalah warna yang aman, tidak terlalu menampilkan kesan nan kontras. Namun ingat, Anda harus akurat dalam memilih warna. Kesan essentric mungkin tidak akan Anda dapatkan dari memakai warna-warna pastel. Namun Anda dapat membuatnya terlihat lebih kian essentric dengan berbagai pilihan aksesoris yang mendukung. Warna pastel bagus untuk semua orang. Jika Anda memilih gaun yang tepat, entah itu dalam ukuran panjangnya gaun, pattern, ataupun bahan, pakaian apapun akan terlihat tepat dengan warna Pastel. Pastel is good to go!

Namun, jika Anda memakai warna-warna terang, berhati-hatilah dengan memilih warna yang tepat dan cocok di kulit Anda. Tentunya Anda tidak ingin terlihat seperti badut dengan warna cerah. Menjadi spotlight of attention mungkin suatu keuntungan dari memakai warna-warna cerah. Namun bayangkan jika Anda tidak memiliki hari yang panjang, selepas menghadiri pesta pada saat weekdays, warna Pastel tentunya cocok untuk dibawa kemanapun.

Selain era 80-an, mulai saat ini hingga akhir tahun nanti, Batik akan kembali menjadi trend di tahun 2011. Batik yang pada umumnya hanya di pakai pada momen formal, tahun 2011 ini akan lebih terangkat ke dalam street fashion tahun ini. Batik dalam berbagai materials, yang dapat di kembangkan. Tidak hanya dalam bentuk silk ataupun cotton, kita ketahui Batik hanyalah sebuah cetakan, namun Batik dapat dikembangkan dengan bahan lain. Banyak desainer terkenal yang mencoba mengembangkan Batik tahun ini. Sebenarnya tahun lalu Batik sudah kembali menjadi trend, namun tidak banyak kita temukan orang-orang yang memakai Batik sebagai casual wear. Di tahun 2011 inilah Batik akan kembali menjadi trend fashion 2011.

solitude equals the joy of life!

"you are wrong if you think that the joy of life comes principally from the human relationships. God's placed it all around us, it's in anything we can experience" ~Into the Wild~ the movie.

This statement was captivated me into some deep thoughts about life. Indeed, I do agree with it. Why would we bothering ourselves to drowning in such a big despair just because of the loneliness. It is actually how you would give the treatment to yourself with all the amazing things which you might found along the way.

It is not that miserable to live alone, really! I never felt that pathetically lonely. I mean, we still can do something about it, right? To fix and mend it here and there. Surely, it is also not always have to deal with other human beings. You are expected to enjoy the company of being alone.

Because yes, God put all the joys in everything we can experience in life. So...BE IT!
