"When trying new trends, I encourage everyone to consider their personal style — shop for one or two trendy pieces and find ways to incorporate it into your existing wardrobe to let your personal aesthetic shine through while keeping up-to-date with the latest fashion," Erlanger told "GMA."

She continued, "The fashion cycle moves fast, so you don't need to participate in every trend that comes up — just the ones that speak to you."
