That's a Wrap: 2018 Trend Spotlight (TS) #1 & 2

According to various fashion designers and reporters, two of the trends you want to be ahead of in 2018 are the color violet and wrap skirt-style clothing.

Specifically, the real gurus know that Ultra Violet is the color to get your hands on in 2018. Elected to be Pantone's color of the year, true fans have already started searching for their go-to violet-hued staple.

The Pantone Color of the Year has come to mean so much more than what’s trending in the world of design; it’s truly a reflection of what’s needed in our world today.
— Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute.

According to UK's Independent Co., experimentation with the bright color is highly recommended. Wear it as an accent in nail polish, socks, or jewelry. If you're feeling bold, get some Balenciaga booties or outfit piece in the shade.

Coincidentally, I happened to already have a wrap-skirt style romper in violet from Urban Outfitters!

You can easily find a variation of this wrap style from one of your favorite fast fashion clothing stores including H&M, Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, etc.

I actually just ordered a black wrap skirt from TOBI.

While this may be suitable for winter in warmer states, I'm predicting this one will take full effect closer to spring and summer of 2018, possibly crossing paths with floral patterns (hint).
