The sheer craze this coming up spring has been endless! When you think sheer, it could go incredibly wrong or incredibly chic. This here, are chic ways of tackling the new trend. It has the right amount of sex appeal without screaming for THAT kind of attention. It's the "I'm covered, yet NOT!" trend. You're completely covered, but the sheer notes add that pop of unexpected element that ties everything together.

Another frequent trend on the runway for Spring 2014, the minimalism trend. The effortless chic with minimal touches. It's clean and crisp, no need for over accessorizing or over the top prints and materials. It's the quintessential way of saying "action speaks louder than words," or should I say "clothes speak louder than words." It's the fashion equivalent of making everyone see that the minimal get up tells people more about the person before they even speak. The simple and confident way of saying "I don't need to fuss with anything else, I'm good as is." 

That's complete and utter confidence, no?
