Tweens...they are EVERYWHERE ...and they are watching you!

There is an epidemic on the rise,and it has a name...The Tween.Recent studies have shown that in their natural habitat they tend to congregate in groups of 3,although,there have been reports of up to 9+ in some communities.Now...we love these little fashionistas...but I must warn you,they are everywhere,and they are watching you.....I first became aware of this years ago in the salon.A pair of eyes and ears peering around a corner studying how we're styling the clients,discussing all the latest trends,the hottest accessories for your hair,clothes,shoes,bags etc...And then another one appears,then another...We welcome them over,due to their overwhelming interest,answer their very detailed questions,and then when they leave, discuss how darling they were,and how they reminded us of how we were at that age...All this is fine you might say,so what's the problem?...Well just as my clients and myself are fully loving the newest,hottest trends,and after investing lots of money on the fun,funky additions,"IT" happens...the explosion on the Tween Scene...(whether the real deal,or those fabulous fakes)...and that means it's time to move on to something new.You simply can't be chic sporting what a billion 10 to 12 year olds are wearing and claiming to be "their"style.This saddens me sometimes because I'm not always wanting to give up certain trends due to their takeover...So...the new plan is...Always and I mean Always,know your style and what looks best on you(or seek help from a professional),add the newest trends in moderation and be clever with which accessory is "fun,funky,and hot"...Do not overload!...Then you will not have to give up anything you really love...and Never and I mean Never ask a Tween if what you're wearing is too young for you...They should be asking your advice,let them watch and learn,not dictate your fashion trend...or have they already?
