I saw on People (I used all their pictures from the post too) their top trends for this year and I wanted to share it with everyone and get your feedback.
Pleats- skirts and dresses
I think this will be an easy trend to wear, I've already seen so many pleats in stores already. I don't think I'll follow this trend though, in college I had a pleated dress and I just was never that big of a fan of how it looked in pictures. I'm not saying I won't try this trend, it's just whether or not I find something I like, but I won't be running out in search for it.

LRD- The Little RED dress
I think a little dress in any color works. I'm not a big fan of red on myself, I like it, but it's not a color that's filled up my closet.

Embellished Sweatshirts
Sure, why not?

Maxi Skirts and Button Downs
I really wish they found a better picture that this. I can see Jen Lyons of JCrew rocking this look fantastically. I think I'll definitely give this look a try...if I ever buy a maxi skirt. LOL

Nautical Stripes
Ummm, when are stripes ever out? I love stripes and always have. I'm gonna wear stripes regardless if they're "in style" or not.

Lemony Yellow
One of my fave colors. I'm happy it will be more available now.

One Shoulder Dresses
Almost all of my dresses are one-shouldered, my gfs even tease me about this. So, I'm down for this trend! I love this look and think it's really flattering on most body shapes/sizes.

Green Leather
Ummmm, I'm not too sure on this one. Maybe something only celebs could wear?

Multi-Length Skirts
Ah, the mullet dress. I totally called this in this post. I've even started seeing this more at F21 and even Target. I think the look can definitely work for you depending on the dress and the occasion.

Animal Print Leggings
Again, only something celebs could pull off. And maybe high schoolers?

Sheer Skirts
I love this look, but is something that definitely depends on the dress. This could very easily go south.

Bright Tights
Yay! I love this look and it's so easy to pull off at any age. I think some colors are definitely very bright, so maybe start off with other colors such as navy or plum before you go for it.
What do you think ladies? Do you like these trends? Do you think People is right on the nose for 2012? What trends are you foreseeing?

those trends look fun :)
I'm 50/50 on them . Some I love -one shoulder and pleats. The rest I'm like ummm no (sorry but sjp but no)
I can not tell you enough how much I enjoy reading your blog :) most of these trends I absolutely love, time to start adding to my wardrobe :)
Great minds doll! I'm posting something similar (and inspired by People) in a few days. I love all of their recommendations, but I don't necessarily think any of them are new or different from what we've seen. I was hoping for something a bit more. Maybe it's too early yet ;) Fab post!
I'm not sure about some of them, but I do agree with the little red dress. I've actually been looking for one for ages now!
The lemony yellow is my favorite!
I love the LRD. Red is my new favorite color to wear and I definitely need more of it! I'm with your on stripes. I definitely need more stripes. And I have a super cute one shoulder dress in the mail! So excited about that one. I could do bright tights (have a few colors), but I think the rest are too edgy for me. Plus I look terrible in yellow.
I think that most trends should be tried at least once, it helps figure out what actually looks best on you. I think I will pass on the green leather...but I will wear leather in a neutral color. I would totally rock the animal print leggings (So I think that makes me a celeb since I am not in HS. LOL) I have never liked one shoulder dresses on me but I will try it again!
Some of these trends I don't think normal people with real jobs can pull off..haha but I sure love all the skirts!
Green leather?? Really? Lol. I do love a little red dress, although it will never top a little black dress for me. :)
I hear you on the pleats.. they never look right on me and look down right horrid in pictures. Love the little red dress, lemony yellow, and one shoulder dress trend! I'm excited!

love those light lemon dresses!
I've always loved & buy pleated dresses & skirts! & Yellow is my fav color!
glad you shared this because obviously we dont get this magazine in my world :)
i am really not liking the maxi skirt with button up...or like you said, just that photo. even if it is a fad or trend this year, i cant see it making as big of an impact as other things mentioned in the article.
i am with on the bright tights though! bring that on for sure :)
I am happy to sport stripes, bright tights, lemony yellow and pleats!!
