Ladies, the snow is beginning to fall, and the holidays are finally here. So, it’s crucial to break out your knit hobo hats and leather gloves, put on your designer Pea Coats, and head toward the mall. Natural to the average fashionista, shopping is never a dilemma.
Every year, temporary holiday shopping bazaars spring up and keep major stylists on their toes. However, there’s one major holiday fashionistas look forward to every year, Black Friday.
“This year, Black Friday was crazy. I went to the mall at 7 in the morning with my friends, and it was already packed. Thankfully, I ended up saving over a hundred dollars in discounts,” said senior Susan Yacca.
Fortunately, even when Black Friday is over, there is still an array of shopping opportunities in New York City, and vigilance will reward bargains this holiday season.
Retailers have regrouped and changed their tactics this year, while inventories are tighter, and stores are trying to maintain profits by limiting their discounts.
However, that’s both good and bad news for holiday shoppers. The bad news is that money is a little tight in our current recession, which can lead to less holiday shopping sprees.
But, it’s not about the quantity, it’s about the quality, and the designers are ready to give a full-fashion spectrum spectacular for those with less to spend.
Moreover, with the holidays arriving, your wardrobe needs a bit of an update. With the holiday trends this year, fashionistas are increasingly going to create a statement.
A belted swing coat, a curvy dress or pencil skirt fits the much-needed antidote to all the trapeze shapes of the holiday season.
Could the seriously girly frock be on it’s way out?
Well, the dress for the holiday season is sexier and edgier, and screams the name Vera Wang. According to The Fashion Book, by Phaidon book company, a dress never works harder, unless it’s designed by Vera.
“I love how stockings, leggings and dresses are back in style even though the weather is getting colder. Last year’s look was tees and jeans, but this year the trends are more elegant,” said senior Rebecca Utkin.
It is true that elegance is key for the holiday season.
So remember ladies, peace, love and holiday shopping.
