A New Way To Go Green

Last winter, the color purple was everywhere. During the spring of 2009, nude hues were the hottest thing around. For the summer of '09, blue and coral were the it colors. Well, now it's time to welcome another color into to your wardrobe. That's right. This season's newest color trend is green. This could be branching off of the green (meaning environmentally friendly) clothing trend that's been in for the past couple of years. Since green represents everything that's fresh and new, it may also be in right now because it is the start of a new decade. Perhaps the military look is responsible for olive green being in style. Whatever the reason, this trend is out just in time for spring and also just in time for Saint Patrick's Day! If you want to avoid getting pinched for not wearing green, the pieces featured below will definitely help you out.

Knee Deep

Last winter, I blogged about how slouch boots were a big fashion trend. During the fall, I wrote about cowboy boots. The hot boots to wear for the winter of 2010 are the over-the-knee boots. You might remember me mentioning these stylish shoes a few times in previous blog posts. This trend has been spotted everywhere, so I thought it was time for me to blog about it as well. Take a look at some of the sexy over-the knee boots I found online.

When it starts to warm up for spring, you can wear a pair of over-the-knee boots with some ripped skinny jeans tucked in, a tunic top, and a military jacket. For now, you can wear the same look but with bleached skinny jeans and a bomber jacket instead. Another cute winter look to try out is wearing your over-the-knee boots with a sweater dress and a pair of thick tights. For a regular day at school, you can pair your over-the-knee boots with a velvet top, a tiered skirt, an eternity scarf, hoop earrings, and some black leggings. For a sexy look to wear out on a date, pair these boots with a one-shoulder dress, some chandelier earrings, and a cocktail ring. For hitting up the clubs, wear these boots with a cold shoulder top, a faux denim mini skirt, hoop earrings, and a newsboy hat. If you have any suggestions on how to wear over-the-knee boots, let me know.
