Out of all the wacky trends appearing on the runways, my favorite has to be the lace. Lace is elegance, vintage, and pretty in one package. There's so much that can be done with lace, its amazing. If any outfit is looking down and just "not it," add a touch of lace for some glamour and WOW! 

Adorable, isn't it? One of my favorite things to do with lace is create the layered look. I am a big fan of those--I mean, come on, who doesn't love the cute and girly look of two toned camisoles and lace? 

That up there is trend at its best. And every time, never fails, whatever the runway gives us, sluts take them and turn some innocent floral and lace into something disgraceful. Will it seriously kill you to put a cami on under the lace?

One of the latest fashion trends for 2013 is showing skin. Ranging from sheer to cutouts to showing midriffs, these looks have been all over the runways. 

Just make sure that anything "private" isn't showing. Oh so often, I've seen outfit fails when sheer goes too far. Showing so much skin can be trendy, but too much becomes slutty. It's ok to flaunt, but too much becomes a sight no one wants to see.

"Jail stripes", the black and white stripes often seen on criminals back in the day, suddenly is becoming very fashionable. Not only jail stripes, but also stripes of any type: bold, multicolored, thick and thin, etc. 

I, personally, dislike stripes for a number of reasons. One, stripes make you look fat. This fact is proven true. Second, when it's overdone, it makes the wearer look like they're in pajamas. Third, stripes can only match with stripes or a solid color. I have to admit though, some striped outfits and dresses are adorable.
