Are you popular? Do you really care? Does liking something that's popular, make us popular? Sometimes we like to publicly admit (hello Facebook) we like 'something' that's trendy, and sometimes we wouldn't admit we're fond of the likes of Celine Dion because we'd feel like the this would be as popular as a course on underwater basket weaving!  While dressing as an individual can make you 'unique' we can't help but be intrigued by what's 'popular'...sometimes, there really is a reason why something has taken off. Do you follow the crowd, check out what are the TOP SELLERS when purchasing, or create your own style? Following is not only ok but clearly encouraged, after all Pinterest has created a function for that.

On that note, lets investigate just some of what's popular at Plum....(note that all of these items, are top sellers and on sale, thus availability is limited). This is the BIG MARKDOWN of the season, do not miss out!

This is one of Plum's top sellers and I can see why. A great tunic, wonderful soft muted colours, sleeveless (sleeves are a bad word right now!), and not too revealing. Very comfortable, yet also so pretty. (ps, this is nearly sold out).

Yet another one in very high demand at Plum. Everyone loves this one. It's flattering, features a really beautiful cross over front which looks so divine with necklaces, comes in a scrumptious variety of colours and of course, sleeveless (sleeves are so February).

Plum sleeveless crossover top (8 colours) $42 now $32

Probably not a lot needs to be said about shorts in this weather, they're short, enough said. Well, in fact these, I can see, are popular because they appear to be a great fit, well made (see the triple top stitching), rivets and rear pockets, and side button to adjust the length slightly to your liking. They would do well for a camping trip, biking trip or shopping trips (shopping the sales is exhausting work)!

Point Zero herringbone stretch short (black, marine, neutral and olive) $54 now $35

Image

Yet another one nearly sold out. I totally understand why this is hot. Great way to show of those fabulous legs. HOWEVER, if you're a tiny bit shy, try wearing bicycle shorts (with lace trim) in a complimentary colour. Great peek a boo back cut out feature with cap sleeves.

Simone t-shirt dress with open back (black/off white or blue/heather grey) $69 now $25

How to figure out what's popular in fashion...why are Don Cherry's suit jackets (for instance) not more popular... possibly because they have a tendency to scare children or look like Gramma's upholstery...Maybe Don should stick to hockey commentary!

Resolutions anyone? What are your top decree's of 2015? Do you still make them or have they gone the way of 'mailing Christmas cards'? While resolutions tend to be most associated with getting fit and healthy, they can be applied to any aspect of our lives.  According to a study done at the University of Hertfordshire in the UK, which tracked 3000 participants, 52% were confident they'd reach their goals, yet when tracked one year later, 12% actually reached those goals. Of course, the anticipation of knowing your progress would be measured might have had an effect on their results.

Don't forget MAJOR markdowns have now taken place. Don't miss out on some hard to resist deals.

Here are my New Years resolutions and some great Plum picks:

1. Invest more time in creative endevors.

Speaking of artistic. This just looks like a lovely work of art, made to wear!

2. Take time to relax.

The first ingredient in this resolution is comfortable clothing. I think this fits the bill nicely, while not ignoring the subtle style details.

3. Of course the dreaded 'work out' more regularly. Note it's not on the top of my list.

However, working out, suggests one feels more comfortable wearing the likes of the above saucy little skirt. Designed truly to show off those divine legs you've worked so hard on (or just naturally inherited).

Kerisma Anais skirt $79 sale price $39

4. Be more adventurous.

If that means just wearing different patterns than you'd usually choose or, try something 'just because', these pants fit the bill so well. The side insert is such a well thought out added design feature.

5. Carry less baggage. In other words...clean closets.

Destined to be my most challenging, thus why it's last on my list. However, this then provides us and oportunity to invest in a lovely new handbag.

Street Level open weave tote $ 69 sale price $34

New Years resolutions! Really, one can begin anew any time, but it's a simple way to measure one's progress....feel free to share yours resolutions (and successes)with us. And if keeping track of things better is one of them....I'm certain there's an AP for that!

Yours in Fashion passion...
