More Puffy? Good thing there are other options. Not a big fan of puffy. Unless you’re very thin and very tall..and even then I think it looks a little silly.
My mother was a dress designer, and the best fashion advice she ever gave me was don’t put lots of fabric on any part of your body you think it too big. Even patch pockets can add volume to an area that’s already voluminous.
But I am excited about riding boots, square rings (gotta accessorize!) and the oxford/spectator shoe.

Ugh, totally agree. Puffy? I just don’t understand why this is so stylish and popular! Is it a feminine-girly-frilly thing? I much prefer a more flattering, fitted look.
I love that patent is back. Sooooo fun!!!

And the hourglass trend is HARD for us short-waisted girls! When I heard that high-waisted pants and big belts at the waist were coming back, I visibly shivered. Personally, I will be skipping this one. I cannot do anything that will make me look more squat on top!
The color palate ROCKS! All my favourite colors!

Thank you for the sneak peak. Noticeably gone from the color palette is brown and grey. Noticeably present is purple–seems like it’s been a long time since we’ve seen any of that! I’m totally excited about GREEN! This sounds very jewel tones. “Nothing low-slung” does this mean waist bands on pants are going up? Agree with everybody else on the puffy! Anything with that type of top doesn’t fit under jackets or sweaters that I depend on when it’s cold. Phooey on puffy!
Love patent! It pops any outfit and looks so classy.

In general, great colors! I’m glad to see that purples are still hanging around.
I’m sad to see fewer dresses, but it’s great news for me that hourglass is coming back. I’m also a fan of puff short sleeves and wide belts, being the tall, long-waisted, hourglass girl that I am.
I also like patent shoes, but oxfords can go.
