The overall theme of style in 2012 was that of comfortable exploration. Whether it was experimenting with metallics, heels or prints, they all came in comfortable forms; metallic denim, sneaker wedges and printed tees were at the helm. Every year becomes more accepting of various trends and fashion experiments. I’m excited to see what 2013 has in store! Before we move forward, though, here is a look back at my top trends of 2012:
