Style resolution 2008: Work the trends (the RIGHT way)

I'm not someone who typically advocates jumping on the trend bandwagon, for several reasons. Not all trends are created equally, for starters, and what works on a bunch of teenage runway models in Milan may very well not work for your everyday-working-girl, mom-on-the-go, real-woman-with-hips life. Or body. Or budget! And we all know that buying into every trend leaves you with a closet full of nothing to wear. But that doesn't mean that indulging, in moderation, in some carefully chosen trends is completely out. The trick is to identify the trends, and THEN identify the trends that will work for YOU. Then take those pieces and mix them in with your current basics for a look that is current and yet still classic.
