What’s in and out for 2008!

By Jessica A. Otero

Finally the new year has arrived and we can all say goodbye to leggings and over-sized dresses! Instead, say hello to form fitting flares and flower prints. Yes, flower prints for the year 2008!

Last year was all about leggings, purple and anything grey or metallic. Much of '07 fashion was about dressing more masculine rather than feminine. Us women all got a break we deserved because we really didn't have to show as much of our curves. Last year was more about hiding them.

Now for the new year, women will have to learn how to embrace their imperfections by looking perfect! Think of this year as more of a reality check for women. Forget about losing weight as your top resolution. 2008 is all about working with what you have.

Here are the do's and don't for 2008:

Do:
1. Waist cinching belts, its all about the hour glass shape.
2. Flower print, color and bold print is in again this time around.
3. Classic bag, invest your savings in an accessory that can last a lifetime!

Don't:
1. Over-sized dresses...don't hide.
2. Solid colors are out! Be spontaneous and creative!
3. Totes are out, please try and buy your first Prada bag!

This time around women will revolutionize into backing away from those tabloids of paper thin celebrities. We will begin to spend more time looking at ourselves in the mirror.

2008 is all about finding our unique selves.

Be different, and be yourself!
