- 21 Signs Your Wardrobe Expired in the 90's!

We are ripe on 2010, but closer to embarking on the next decade. If your clothes are still living in the 90's, wake-up and realize they are expired!

It's not just about being stylish either. When your clothes are out of date, people's perception of you is that your ideas, thoughts and knowledge are out of date. Whether you are a financial analyst, marketing guru, or self-employed start up...you want to portray the image that you are current and up-to-date on what's happening in your industry!

Here are some signs that you are stuck in the 90's:

1. You have a fleece on big enough to fit you plus one inside

2. You wear overalls or shortalls

3. You wear body suits with those bibs

4. You have baby t's instead of t-shirts

5. You wear midriff shirts to show off your belly button ring

6. You wear Hawaiian shirts or shirts that say "Aloha"

7. Your skirts have an angled hem that comes to a point

8. Your jeans are baggy or have a flare leg

9. You are still trying desperately to fit into low rise jeans

10. You wear bike shorts for purposes other than biking

11. You have chunky heals or square toed shoes (aka pilgrim shoes)

12. You wear Doc Martins

13. You are still sporting "The Rachel" haircut

14. You accent your hair with butterfly clips

15. You wear a fishing hat when you are not fishing

16. The tags are still attached to your favorite baseball cap

17. You workout in noisy wind pants that you can tear away

18. You support your sports team by wearing your starter jacket

19. More than 10% of your wardrobe is Guess or Tommy Hilfiger

20. You still carry your work in a rectangle, hard-sided brief case

21. Your purse is actually a backpack

- Statement Bracelets - Bold, Chunky and Stacked!

Stacked Banglesby milenajoyfeaturing Lee Angel Jewelry bracelets

Bracelets are hot for spring 2010! They are stacked, chunky and making a statement! While you might be inclined to pull out your set of bangles from the 80's, today's bracelets are not plastic and bright. The most sought after bracelets are done in soft metallics made from metal, woods and leather.

Neutrals, metallics and turquoise are the in colors this season. Take advantage of these colors in your bracelet. I particularly love the mix on the bottom right (above) because they've mixed ivory with a soft gold. They've also used texture to really make these bracelets stand out. Play with different prints too, like the bracelets on the top left.

The less is more rule still applies here. Because this season's bracelets are heavy, you'll want to go easy on your other accessories. Let the bracelets take the lead and let your other accessories play supporting roles. You will want to pay special attention to what rings you wear because you do not want them to outshine your bracelet. I would suggest only wearing one or two rings that are simple and sleek. Do not make the mistake of wearing a lot of little rings - your look will become cluttered.

While buying some of these pre-designed stacked bracelet sets can be expensive, it certainly doesn’t have to be. Go through your jewelry box at home and see if you can't come up with some of your own combinations. Or invest in one or two bold bracelets and then pair them with some of your own. This is a great way to make something old new again. Then, mix and match the combinations for fresh new looks each and every time!
