Trends in home decor, furniture, clothing, art styles, eye glass frames and hair styles are just a few trends I can think of this morning. I love to see the various color trends that will show up in the stores for clothes each season … some are truly hideous … I remember slime green once … perhaps some ppl love slime green … but it made me feel nauseous :) looking at it hanging on the rack at the store.

I’m always looking for a color that is impossible to find that season … like the season I desperately needed a new white blouse to wear with my interview suit … I nearly looked in every store in a large Houston mall … there was no plain white or even ivory long-sleeve or short sleeve anywhere to be found … not even a tank top since it was winter at the time … (I have an orchid blouse for one suit these days … lol) when I wanted pink curtains … I looked and I looked and I looked … nothing in local stores … nothing online unless I wanted to spend thousands of dollars – nope .. no pink curtains at a reasonable price anywhere to be found.

Now … if I do not see it in one store … I quit looking for it … I just know that no one will have it … that everything in the world will be 2-3 colors and nothing else will exist again until another season somewhere in the future. Makes shopping rather boring and quite frustrating to me … everyone does not want to live with only the “designers choices” of that season. For example, I cannot imagine me living with slime green, mustard yellow or neon pink on a daily basis for curtains … bed comforters or what I wear to work.

Forest or mint green … ivory sunshine … dusty rose pink … those are colors I can live with daily … I do like bold and bright colors … I bought light & darker orange paint for one room of my house after all …. but I like to choose my own colors so I wish they would give me more options … I understand why they do not … but it means that I may have to wait several years before replacing clothes that are worn out or for a change in curtains.
