Fashionable Halloween Costumes for 2019
What’s better than finding a Halloween costume comprised of items you would wear again? That’s why we want to help you find some costume inspiration with current inventory at Michael’s Consignment! Go glam or go creepy with your look. We want Michael’s girls to feel their best whether they’re out haunting the town or chilling eating their kids Halloween candy after trick-or-treating. Here are our picks for Halloween costumes this year.
The Cardigan Craze Trend
One of 2019’s unexpected trends was the cardigan. The cardigan brought us out of the winter and into the spring, and now there’s no doubt that the cardigan is making its way back for the fall season. Styling a cardigan feels fresh compared to our go to turtlenecks and chunky knit pullover sweaters.
Pantone's Autumn/Winter 2019/2020 Colors To Look For
Whether you work in the fashion industry or you just want to know the 411 on what’s hot, the Pantone color trends for each season are a must. This Autumn, Pantone chose tones that anyone can work into their wardrobe without feeling like they are stepping too far outside the box. Designers like Marc Jacobs, Bottega Veneta, and Jacquemus have been using these colors that Pantone predicted. The Fall 2019 ready-to-wear runway shows are proof that these colors that Pantone picked are in for this season.

Celebrating Coco Chanel's Birthday
Happy Birthday Chanel! Today marks Gabrielle Coco Chanel’s 138th birthday! Since starting her namesake brake in 1910, it’s no surprise that Chanel has become the iconic fashion label that it is today. Chanel herself was known for her modernizing of women’s wardrobes and giving them the higher hemline they deserved. This gave women the ability to be more mobile in the new modern world of the early 1900’s. Today, her tweed suits paired with pearls and quilted leather bags speak for themselves

“Camp: Notes on Fashion” Exhibition Recap
After being dazzled by this year’s annual Met Gala red carpet, we just had to take a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see the “Camp: Notes on Fashion” exhibition, which opened on May 9. The whimsical display at the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Exhibition Hall takes you through a pink hallway and ushers you into the historical visual timeline of the word “camp.” The origin of camp includes the exclusive red soled heels of the aristocratic French court to garments inspired by campy author Oscar Wilde.
