cutout trend – Helen's Life & Style

spring 2014 color trend: blue; Taylor Swift street style Photo: Taylor Swift; Courtesy of facebook/ILoveTaySwift.

Combined new trend (the hot indigo blue) with retro elements, like the ladylike shoulder bag that she seems can’t-live-without and dressy oxfords, plus her signature red lips, Taylor Swift showed us how to catch up with trends while staying true to ourselves.

In Chinese: 在自己的日常着装中引入一两个应季的流行元素是保持潮感又不会看起来太过的好贴士，就像小天后泰勒·斯维芙特(Taylor Swift)示范的，这一季大热的靛蓝恰到好处地和她一贯复古的装扮以及标志性的红唇融合在一起。

Why I love it: Parisian chic with an American twist thanks to the wide striped body-hugging dress and sexy cut-out booties.

Style Tip: Resist the urge to add splashes of color. This season, black and white is just enough to make an impact.

In Chinese: 更具现代感的宽条纹紧身裙、白色风衣以及镂空高跟鞋的搭配有着法式的精致优雅, 又带了些美式的性感。这一季在穿黑白配时，抑制下自己总想加些色彩的冲动，感受像老电影般简约经典的黑白魅力吧。
