Staying Power

In looking for trends to incorporate into your wardrobe, it is important to find styles that have staying power. Here are some trends that you are sure to find in store now AND this coming spring.  

Fringe --  Express yourself with a high-drama fringed look or add just a subtle touch with a feminine eyelash fringe trim.  


Open Weave Knits -- Perfect for layering over maxi dresses, these lightweight sweaters will keep you warm year-round without making you too hot.  


Leopard Print -- Who doesn't love a classic leopard print?  We are seeing tons of tonal animal prints and even leopard denim.  


The Cold Shoulder -- Shoulder cut-outs are a great way to inject a little sexy edge to any look.  


Multi-Hued Sequins --  Layered sequins give a garment a luxe depth that works for day or evening.    


Pop-Colors -- Whether you wear a neon blazer or just add a little punch to an outfit with a bright handbag, this bold look has stood the test of time for several seasons now.   


Colored Denim -- Somehow outfits we've worn a zillion times seem new again by substituting a fun color for basic denim.  


Find these and so much more at Augusta Twenty
 Have a beautiful week!

Trend of the Week: Leather Shorts
The perfect transition piece, leather shorts can be worn now with a straw hat, tank and sandals and moves seamlessly into fall with an over-sized cardigan, tights and ankle boots. A great denim alternative, leather feels more dressed up and of-the-moment.

Trend of the Week



Trend of the Week: Fur
Inject a little glamour into your daily routine by adding a touch of fur to your fall ensemble. This trend has been around for a number of seasons now and is quite classic. Try just a hint at the collar or a vest style if you feel like this is too bold a look for you. After all, who doesn't feel infinitely more fabulous wearing a little fur?!
