catch your eye. Tbit? the way people dress. Fashions change from season to sea son, you know that... but what you may not realize is how explosive the upcom ing spring-summer faf shions will be. Doretha Davis, floor manager of Lucille's Vogue Fashions, commented, “For this summer the loud neon colors will be trend for teem and young wo men. These are the teds for this year. Fads,” she ex plained, “are styles that only stay in for one season per year and change to something different the next year.” , Even though the fads will display the neon colors, the tpore conservative look will be brightened as a result of the new explosion in colors as welLf? “The busi rises or career woman will be very color ful this summer, but with more of bold pastel co _ _e way we look, tbe clothing styles we choose and the quality of the outfits are Ugh on our priority lists. Each penon is looking for something different according to Ms *’ or her age group and-tr profession. at Far teens and the young adult fads may be more acceptable because they are not subject to stay in style, therefore, the ymmg . er generation enjoys the change to a new look quite frequently.
