corset tops?, and how would you wear them ?
and dresses?
and, are florals still alright? if not what prints do you think are or will be?
what kind of heals are in now?
no. sorry. no.
v-neck dresses are in.
animal prints are in.
flannels, or plaid is still pretty much in.
and some floral.
well judging from forever 21 and charlotte russe…
-nautical (sailor-ish) items
-ballerina styles
-retro/vintage looks
-dresses/skirts are in
even though there’s some bandage skirts/dresses on sale not many people wear them. poofy/fuller skirts are still in
florals are still going strong.
and heels doesn’t really matter. just make sure it goes well with your outfit!
Bandage anything is. From dresses to skirts.
Make sure with such a tight bottom you go for a looser top to balance it out,
Corset tops are tricky. The only way i personally like the is when they don’t resemble a corset at all.
Good Examples:

(Then again that’s just me)
Dresses are always in.

Florals still have some heat as long as they are done in a modern way. And paired with solids.
For example this shirt with the bandage skirt you mentioned

As far as other prints, plaid is in fury right now.
but looking into the future i would stick with different textures.
Different drapes and weaves like this;

Those were “in” for the Fall 2009/Spring 2010 runway shows. But the Fall 2010 shows already started so those would be considered over.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t wear them!
Bandage skirts most notably came from Hermes and Alexander Wang worked corsets into his Spring 2010 show.
Florals are good. Stripes is a trend for spring. So are trench coats and pastel colors.
According to the runway, there are a lot of architectural and artistic heels that I would not recommend wearing. Such as the infamous Alexander Mcqueen (R.I.P.) claw heels worn by Lady Gaga, or Chanel clogs.
I just recommend wearing what you like and what looks nice on you. I suggest trench coats, blazers, and loose shirts.
