0:00 foreign 0:07 friends it's Mel I'm back in the fitting 0:10 room with you today and we are talking 0:11 about the utility Trend I love this for 0:14 us right now because it's something we 0:15 can wear out the door regardless of the 0:17 climate but it's a trend and pieces that 0:19 will take you all through the spring and 0:21 summer season so let's start with your 0:23 traditional utility trouser this is a 0:26 great spin on a traditional silhouette 0:29 this is the acne trouser by Citizens of 0:31 Humanity you can tell it's got that 0:33 traditional kind of olive color it is a 0:35 jogger it gathers at the bottom there's 0:38 this great kind of pleading throughout 0:40 so it gives you some really nice volume 0:42 from the knee down and then you know you 0:46 could wear it with a belt it's got these 0:48 fun little utility Pockets back here but 0:51 the thighs especially for curvy gals 0:53 there's no there's no added pockets on 0:56 the side they are very slimming really 0:59 really enjoy this trouser I think it's 1:01 going to be a top seller so get it quick 1:02 and then this is just from a fashion 1:05 standpoint like how do we take that 1:06 utility Trend and just take it back to a 1:08 pop of color which is all throughout our 1:10 stores right now if you live close to a 1:12 store I encourage you to come in it's 1:14 gorgeous this cardigan is by ever Eve 1:18 it's our Rochelle cardigan and this 1:20 really fun bubble gum pink talk about 1:23 brightening your days in these dreary 1:26 February weather and then back to a 1:29 graphic tee so graphic tees are back 1:31 definitely look online come into our 1:33 stores this is the Beach Boys by 1:36 Daydreamer just a little tip Daydreamer 1:39 tends to run a little bit big so if you 1:41 want a traditional oversized 80s 1:43 inspired kind of a graphic t-shirt buyer 1:46 true to size I'm in a medium so I size 1:48 down I typically wear a large I think 1:50 you'll be happy with that it accessory 1:52 wise I put this on with a little pair of 1:55 p448 high top sneakers this is our skate 1:58 sneaker by p448 and you can see it's 2:01 just really clean easy to wear this is a 2:04 great sneaker to take you through spring 2:05 and summer especially when you're doing 2:07 something with pattern or color and you 2:09 just want to keep it really easy and 2:11 clean in your shoes and then if you are 2:14 out and about of course I would 2:16 recommend throwing with this a little 2:18 think Royal and bag this is a bright pop 2:22 of white as always think Royal and you 2:24 get a great strap with it so you can 2:27 wear it cross body or you can take it 2:29 out like a tote okay now we're taking 2:31 this utility Trend to a jacket 2:34 um this I think is one of the most 2:36 versatile pieces that you can put in 2:38 your spring wardrobe because you can 2:40 take a jacket like this by farity this 2:43 is their Surplus jacket I believe it's 2:45 called The Savannah and you can wear it 2:49 as a shirt you can wear it as a jacket 2:50 I'm in a size large so so I'm taking my 2:52 true to size I'm going to wear it more 2:54 like a shirt with this outfit belt it 2:56 which is really going to provide that 2:58 shape and give me a waistline but yet 3:00 I'll be able to wear it as a jacket with 3:02 my other outfits so again fairity not 3:05 only is the jacket by faradi so is the 3:07 skirt this is called the Valentine skirt 3:09 she's so precious I'm going to take the 3:12 print up so you can see this a little 3:13 bit better so it's that olive green and 3:16 a nice cream color and a very subtle 3:19 floral print and the one thing that I 3:21 love about fairy is their Fabrications 3:23 they choose the yummiest softest 3:26 Fabrications this feels gorgeous to wear 3:29 both in a jacket and in the skirt and 3:33 then for layering this is just the 3:34 Michael Stars little Nelly scoop neck it 3:37 comes in multiple colors it's a great 3:39 basic to add to your wardrobe for spring 3:42 and summer if you don't buy Michael 3:43 Stars Basics they are the best tanks 3:47 t-shirts long sleeve T-shirts you just 3:49 cannot go wrong and they're going to 3:52 have a lifetime in your closet and last 3:56 a lot longer than Basics from other 3:57 companies so I just want to plug Michael 3:58 stars for the basics they are phenomenal 4:00 so I've got a little layer tank under 4:02 here just to kind of open up this 4:04 neckline pop the collar make it a little 4:06 bit more feminine and then this is just 4:08 a little braided belt by Harriet Isles 4:10 again gives me a nice little defined 4:13 waistline and then I've got it paired 4:15 back to Corky's clogs what a great 4:18 transitional shoe this is the Demi Club 4:21 show this to you 4:23 what I love about this is It's So 4:26 neutral it will go with everything it is 4:29 incredibly comfortable and neutral it 4:31 will go with everything in your wardrobe 4:33 through the spring through the summer 4:34 great little heel on it but easy and 4:37 comfortable to wear and this would just 4:39 be a great little wear to work out to 4:41 brunch and then depending on your 4:44 seasonality if it's still really cold 4:45 outside just pair this back to a boot 4:48 and until you're ready to transition to 4:50 a clog and this is still something you 4:52 could wear out the door right now as far 4:54 as accessories I have on some every 4:56 accessories here ruching up the sleeves 4:59 gave me room for a little bracelet stack 5:01 so this is the little Helen cuff she's 5:04 very easy to wear that looks really 5:07 sophisticated and Chic and then this is 5:09 just a little pop of pearl this little 5:11 three stand comes together this is by 5:13 ever Eve and then of course a statement 5:16 ring you need to add this to your 5:18 wardrobe this is a great neutral one by 5:20 ever Eve and there you go a little added 5:23 accessory is bring a little femininity 5:25 to this utility Trend and you've got a 5:27 great where to work or elevated outfit 5:29 for other functions okay last utility 5:32 Trend this is a Verity piece it is the 5:36 Terry trouser it's a high-rise wide leg 5:39 trouser in this great Olive utility very 5:43 functional yet what I love about this is 5:46 I think it's a great trouser that you 5:48 could dress up or dress down so it can 5:49 be in your casual wardrobe throw a 5:51 sweatshirt on for the weekend but this 5:53 is also something you could dress up you 5:55 could wear to work so again taking this 5:57 Olive back to a little pop of color this 6:00 little top is by Clea Bella it's their 6:01 Phoenix blouse and it's just a really 6:04 light orangey coral color I love this 6:07 kind of a silhouette for spring and if
