Happy New Trends, Damsels!

A very happy 2012 to you, Damsels! And with the holiday weight gain, well-intentioned resolutions and long-awaited return of 30 Rock, the new year also brings us tons of propaganda concerning our future wardrobes.

Plan on seeing a lot of polka dots in 2012. Feathers and espadrille shoes are back in style (hopefully not together). Neon colors and loud patterns will meet with tight, light-colored skinnies as Spring (which is apparently already upon us) pits pastels vs. brights.

Basically, plan on being a fashion-schizophrenic.

But possibly the most hilarious trend to "expect" over the next 12 months is what Top Shop refers to as "Surf Luxe." And yes, their vision is as/if not more ridiculous than the name itself:

Maybe the world will end this December -- and I for one plan to be dressed EXACTLY LIKE THIS.

Happy Thanksgiving, Damsels! Here at Damsel Headquarters, we're thankful for friends, family, health, happiness and stuffing. Oh, and all the fashionable wears we'll be shopping for tomorrow!

The trend I'm most thankful for today? Brightly colored peacoats.
