friends it's Mel I'm back in the fitting


0:10

room with you today and we are talking


0:11

about the utility Trend I love this for


0:14

us right now because it's something we


0:15

can wear out the door regardless of the


0:17

climate but it's a trend and pieces that


0:19

will take you all through the spring and


0:21

summer season so let's start with your


0:23

traditional utility trouser this is a


0:26

great spin on a traditional silhouette


0:29

this is the acne trouser by Citizens of


0:31

Humanity you can tell it's got that


0:33

traditional kind of olive color it is a


0:35

jogger it gathers at the bottom there's


0:38

this great kind of pleading throughout


0:40

so it gives you some really nice volume


0:42

from the knee down and then you know you


0:46

could wear it with a belt it's got these


0:48

fun little utility Pockets back here but


0:51

the thighs especially for curvy gals


0:53

there's no there's no added pockets on


0:56

the side they are very slimming really


0:59

really enjoy this trouser I think it's


1:01

going to be a top seller so get it quick


1:02

and then this is just from a fashion


1:05

standpoint like how do we take that


1:06

utility Trend and just take it back to a


1:08

pop of color which is all throughout our


1:10

stores right now if you live close to a


1:12

store I encourage you to come in it's


1:14

gorgeous this cardigan is by ever Eve


1:18

it's our Rochelle cardigan and this


1:20

really fun bubble gum pink talk about


1:23

brightening your days in these dreary


1:26

February weather and then back to a


1:29

graphic tee so graphic tees are back


1:31

definitely look online come into our


1:33

stores this is the Beach Boys by


1:36

Daydreamer just a little tip Daydreamer


1:39

tends to run a little bit big so if you


1:41

want a traditional oversized 80s


1:43

inspired kind of a graphic t-shirt buyer


1:46

true to size I'm in a medium so I size


1:48

down I typically wear a large I think


1:50

you'll be happy with that it accessory


1:52

wise I put this on with a little pair of


1:55

p448 high top sneakers this is our skate


1:58

sneaker by p448 and you can see it's


2:01

just really clean easy to wear this is a


2:04

great sneaker to take you through spring


2:05

and summer especially when you're doing


2:07

something with pattern or color and you


2:09

just want to keep it really easy and


2:11

clean in your shoes and then if you are


2:14

out and about of course I would


2:16

recommend throwing with this a little


2:18

think Royal and bag this is a bright pop


2:22

of white as always think Royal and you


2:24

get a great strap with it so you can


2:27

wear it cross body or you can take it


2:29

out like a tote okay now we're taking


2:31

this utility Trend to a jacket


2:34

um this I think is one of the most


2:36

versatile pieces that you can put in


2:38

your spring wardrobe because you can


2:40

take a jacket like this by farity this


2:43

is their Surplus jacket I believe it's


2:45

called The Savannah and you can wear it


2:49

as a shirt you can wear it as a jacket


2:50

I'm in a size large so so I'm taking my


2:52

true to size I'm going to wear it more


2:54

like a shirt with this outfit belt it


2:56

which is really going to provide that


2:58

shape and give me a waistline but yet


3:00

I'll be able to wear it as a jacket with


3:02

my other outfits so again fairity not


3:05

only is the jacket by faradi so is the


3:07

skirt this is called the Valentine skirt


3:09

she's so precious I'm going to take the


3:12

print up so you can see this a little


3:13

bit better so it's that olive green and


3:16

a nice cream color and a very subtle


3:19

floral print and the one thing that I


3:21

love about fairy is their Fabrications


3:23

they choose the yummiest softest


3:26

Fabrications this feels gorgeous to wear


3:29

both in a jacket and in the skirt and


3:33

then for layering this is just the


3:34

Michael Stars little Nelly scoop neck it


3:37

comes in multiple colors it's a great


3:39

basic to add to your wardrobe for spring


3:42

and summer if you don't buy Michael


3:43

Stars Basics they are the best tanks


3:47

t-shirts long sleeve T-shirts you just


3:49

cannot go wrong and they're going to


3:52

have a lifetime in your closet and last


3:56

a lot longer than Basics from other


3:57

companies so I just want to plug Michael


3:58

stars for the basics they are phenomenal


4:00

so I've got a little layer tank under


4:02

here just to kind of open up this


4:04

neckline pop the collar make it a little


4:06

bit more feminine and then this is just


4:08

a little braided belt by Harriet Isles


4:10

again gives me a nice little defined


4:13

waistline and then I've got it paired


4:15

back to Corky's clogs what a great


4:18

transitional shoe this is the Demi Club


4:21

show this to you


4:23

what I love about this is It's So


4:26

neutral it will go with everything it is


4:29

incredibly comfortable and neutral it


4:31

will go with everything in your wardrobe


4:33

through the spring through the summer


4:34

great little heel on it but easy and


4:37

comfortable to wear and this would just


4:39

be a great little wear to work out to


4:41

brunch and then depending on your


4:44

seasonality if it's still really cold


4:45

outside just pair this back to a boot


4:48

and until you're ready to transition to


4:50

a clog and this is still something you


4:52

could wear out the door right now as far


4:54

as accessories I have on some every


4:56

accessories here ruching up the sleeves


4:59

gave me room for a little bracelet stack


5:01

so this is the little Helen cuff she's


5:04

very easy to wear that looks really


5:07

sophisticated and Chic and then this is


5:09

just a little pop of pearl this little


5:11

three stand comes together this is by


5:13

ever Eve and then of course a statement


5:16

ring you need to add this to your


5:18

wardrobe this is a great neutral one by


5:20

ever Eve and there you go a little added


5:23

accessory is bring a little femininity


5:25

5:27

5:36

Terry trouser it's a high-rise wide leg


5:39
