2. Fold-Over Clutch
3. The Bra Top
I like the idea of a fold-over clutch -- it's a clutch, but it still has enough space to fit all my stuff. ;)
Clare Vivier Fold Over Clutch, $150
Those bra tops are all so cool, but I don't know if I can pull them off...
I like this look, though:
VPL Cropper Bra Top, $145
4. Full Skirts
I love skirts! And I think a full skirt is very pretty!
Milly Bianca Birch Tree Print Skirt, $295
5. Cummerbund Belts
6. Look sporty!
I don't use belts that much, but I probably should start getting some cummerbund belts -- it's a great slimming down trick!
Rita Cummerbund Belt, $198
And I should also start incorporating some "athletic" pieces into my wardrobe.
Thakoon Addition Sport Shorts, $225
7. Boxy Jackets
8. Spring Color Combos
I don't think I'll ever get rid of my blazers, but I would definitely like to try wearing a boxy jacket.

As for the Spring color combos, I can't wait to try them out!

9. Four Basics
I am more partial to aviator sunglasses, but it'd be cool to have a pair of cats-eye sunglasses too. ;)
And it's always good to have the basics!
Cats-Eye Sunglasses/ Flapper Dress
Bright Pencil Skirt/ Metallic Shoes
I'd love to sport all of these trends this coming Spring!
And we don't always have to spend a lot of money in order to do so -- all it takes is creativity and patience. ;)
Which of these 9 Spring trends do you like the most?
Are you excited for Spring?

I need one of that..or two. ;) I think the trend is pretty awesome :D I don't think i can pull off the bra top either..If I look like some awesome super model I probably would ;)

DeleteGreat post as per usual honey! I love all the bright colours like the purples and yellows, I'm really into yellow at the moment! I like the full skirts too and the belts definitely do look slimming! I think I might just be able to fit all my stuff in one of those bags! I'd know way be able to pull of that bra top though! XxxX http://thesecondhandrose.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteawww, thank you, you're so sweet! i looove the purples and the yellows too! and haha, oh those bra tops! ;)
Deletelove all the spring brights! XOXO

DeleteWhat an awesome post, Mimi! I love the pastel color trends -- I just got mint green skinny jeans! And I like the bra top trend, but maybe just when I go to the beach, definitely not for when I go to class, lol!;)
ReplyDeleteLove, Belle

Deleteboxy coats are not for me, but i will take any other of these trends. i love all of the pastel colors out now and that cummerbund belt is pretty amazing!
ReplyDeleteyeah, i'm not sure i'm all crazy about boxy coats, but i'll give them a try. ;)
Deleteloving the trends except for the bra top.. i'm a believer in leaving something to the imagination ;) xo

ReplyDeleteFolding a big handbag into a clutch sounds original. I like the way it looks too. The bra top trend looks good too but I really doubt I'll be able to pull it off. I'm not daring enough. haha.
