With that said I'm not sure whether this is a trend that is only for the highly fashion forward, beauty bloggers, and runways. Or something that people will be seen wearing around the streets of your quaint little hometown. Regardless I thought I'd get this post up a.s.a.p because sheer skirts are becoming (by the second) a hot trend. While on my search for reasonably priced sheer skirts I realized they were sold out, almost everywhere. BUT I have found a few places where you can buy your own skirt and become a part of this sweeping trend.

Topshop
American Apparel
Asos
Akira

The skirt from Topshop and Asos and Akira comes with a slip/skirt underneath it but be aware that the American Apparel skirt is completely sheer. When wearing a completely sheer skirt you can wear a slip under it, or simply a body suit. Make sure that you are aware of this when you purchase your skirt, but fashion is an excuse to play around, so be creative with this skirt it leaves a lot of room for fun. Wear a slip thats a bright color under it, layer, wear fun stockings. The possibilities are endless!

Trend Alert: Bright Colored Pants

Colored jeans/pants are becoming a huge deal in the celebrity trend world, and the fashion industry. Designers/Fashion Lines such as Yigal Azrouel, Karen Walker, Prabal Gurung, 3.1 Philip Lim (all pictured below in order, picture credit from Refinery 29 (Click Here To Read Article) ) have sent their models down the runway in bright colored bottoms.

Many celebrities have also been seen wearing this trend such as:

Blake Lively

Nikki Hilton

Hayden Panettiere

Kim Kardashian

Victoria Justice

It seems though whether on the runway or on the street bright colors are being paired with basic colors such as black, white or gray. I like this trend because it adds some interest and obviously, color, more than a bright top or shoes would.

Heres how I would wear this trend:

(The sequin shirt in the middle is to show how easy it would be to transfer this outfit from day to night, the three different pairs of shoes on the right belong with the hot pink pants to show the different color options you have (obviously your not limited to these colors))

Where to buy:

J Brand (as seen on most of the celebs.)

m2f (also seen on celebs, the color is more pastel than bold)

Jade Colored (Akira)

Ocean Blue Colored (Akira)

Hot Pink

Yellow
