Spring Fashion 2011!

Hey there...OMG, this is my first post for 2011!  What a great time to begin though, after all Spring is all about new beginnings. Everything is coming back to life and it's time for us to do the same.  Get outta of the house and go for walks to the parks or to your local ice cream shoppe....the smell of freshly cut grass (that's my fav), birds singing in the morning...and fun Spring fashion!

I want to share a few of the trends that are hot this season. So if you've got cabin fever and you're ready to shop...well then, here it goes...

Who Said Neutrals are Boring?
The trend is all about neutral, neutral, neutral with pops of color.  Imagine this, white on cream: white top & bottom, paired with a cream jacket, add a splash of color like a yellow necklace or red shoes or maybe a green purse.  But don't do all three, only pick one to accent as color.

Who wears Short Shorts?
Lets talk shorts, I personally don't like them but that's because I'm not a fan of my legs but if you don't mind showing them off, shorts are very in for Spring. Any length of shorts are acceptable just keep in mind, don't go too short. Keep it age appropriate, if your 45 wearing Daisy Dukes (regardless of how good you may look in them) you'll give off the perception of trying "too hard" to stay young and that's actually NOT flattering!

Here's the rule for shorts, whatever length skirt you're comfortable wearing should be the length of shorts you wear also.

Happy Prints
Prints, prints, prints and more prints...all together at once.  Yes anything goes with this style, however keep the colors of each piece in the same family, so that it's not too overwhelming.


High-Wasted Jeans
So, some of us really resented the fact that for the past 10 years or so, low-rise jeans were in.  If your mid section was anything less than Jillian Michael's, there was some serious issues going on there.  WELL BEHOLD BECAUSE HIGH-WASTED JEANS ARE SERIOUSLY HERE THIS SEASON!! Yep, that 70's-inspired look is back this season and boy are we grateful, lol! Tuck in a pretty blouse and add some wedges and you got yourself one serious, slim look going on!

So these are just a few of the trends going on here this Spring.  Do some Spring cleaning and shopping and get on these so that you're the hippest, chic chick out there!
