I wear colors and clothes that I know look good on my body and I do embrace some trends if they look good on me. I tried skinny jeans recently and found that they just don't flatter my body type so I do leggings instead.
I think you can look fabulous no matter what you wear as long as you don't overdo any one thing. For example baggy jeans, baggy shirt, baggy boots, not good but baggy jeans with fitted t-shirt and cute heels is totally awesome. Head to toe sequence not good but a sequence or shiny bag with a minimalist outfit is great.
Don't be afraid to experiment. I use
Polyvore to experiment with fashion ideas. It's so fun and you can decide if it's something you might wear before buying it. Try it, I think you'll love it.
