It's just about that time again, spring is just around the corner. Everyone and their mama on the east coast is talking about this terrible winter coming to a halt. I know that I, for one, am sick of it. I'm also so sure that we will have at least two more snowfalls before spring actually gets here. You know what is the perfect thing to get you in the mood for warm weather? A shopping trip. There is no greater feeling after a horrible winter than going out and buying skirts, shorts, sandals, and bikinis. If you are planning on buying anything at all for this season, I have a few suggestions based on fashion week for spring/summer and trend forecasters. I would invest (not a whole lot) in the following ten items for this spring/summer:
1. The first one is not a huge shocker... Florals!
2. Pastels
3. A pair of wide leg trousers in a light color
4. Crop tops
5. Sheers (tops, jackets, and for the braver chicks, a dress?)
6. A light printed bomber jacket
7. Anything fringy
8. Menswear inspired button up blouse
9.Collar-less overcoat
10. LACE, lots of lace!
These looks were all over runways and have started bombarding retailers everywhere already. There are a lot of options with price variations. You can go super high end or lower end budget and still find great cute pieces everywhere. Before I start with #1, florals, I just want to point out the setting for the Dior show. WOW. Phenomenal...
These were some of the floral looks on the runway that were more wearable for everyday:
Next we have the pastels:
These sheer/lace pieces are remarkable!
The Zuhair Murad (above) show had to have been my favorite!
Obviously, not too many of us can afford these pieces nor do we have the occasions to wear them to. I will showcase these trends and how I interpret them in more affordable looks.
