Proenza Schouler: Ready-to-Wear Collection 2013

Now that 2012 is behind us, it’s time to set new goals and shake things up a bit! For me, 2012 was all about bright pops of color, structured bags and architectural accessories, but this year, I’m determined to incorporate more contrasting looks with  mix-and-match ensembles and vintage frocks–which is why Bottega Veneta’s 2013 ready-to-wear collection wins my vote this year! The collection is an especially adorable, swoon-worthy throwback to the ’40s. Here’s a preview:

For accessories, Bottega Veneta incorporates chunky black bracelets for some funk and a belt to cinch the waist and for extra flair.

What are your fashion goals for 2013? To stay on budget? Buy more timeless pieces? Have a better way of organizing your wardrobe? Wearing more patterns and colors? Whatever it may be, remember that style is about making it your own and making the trends fit you instead of the other way around.

“The only real elegance is in the mind; if you’ve got that, the rest really comes from it.”
— Diana Vreeland
