Five Favorite: 2012 Spring Fashions

I don't closely follow the fashion trends. I've always just worn whatever I was into at the moment. It happens that sometimes I'm into the current trends. I am not sure what the "official" trends are, but here are 5 things I will be wearing this Spring.

1.) MAXI SKIRTS: I like pairing bright colored maxi skirts with equally bright colored tops for an easy breezy effortless look. Adding accessories like a fun printed scarf and a neutral belt polishes off the look. I styled the first look with flat sandals, but a chunky platform sandal or wedge espadrilles will look great too. I also like printed maxi skirts w/ solid color shirts and vice versa.

2.) TRIBAL/ETHNIC : I love love love tribal and ethnic inspired fashions from skirts, to shoes, to jewelry! I have been on a serious hunt for all things tribal! Tribal prints with big bold jewelry creates such an edgy and fashion forward look.



3.) NAUTICAL/BOAT WEAR: Nautical inspired styles always look great during Spring. It's so classic and American.



4.) COLORED & PRINTED JEANS: I am loving bright colored skinny jeans. You can find them in almost in color imaginable. I'm also seeing more skinny jeans in cute prints. You can really play around this look by adding prints and bright tops.




5.) CITRUS COLORS: I really want to step out of my comfort zone and start wearing more bright "citrus"colors this Spring. By citrus I mean oranges, tangerines, lemons, limes, grapefruit, etc. These colors are so sunny and happy.

Hope you enjoyed!

Stripes = Neutral

This is the time of the a year when I start sneaking my Spring clothing and accessories into my daily outfits. I'm growing tired of wearing blacks, earth tones, boots, sweaters, coats, etc. I'm starting to gravitate more towards brights and pastels. This outfit of the day is a great example of how to add the inspiration of Spring into your end of Winter wardrobe. I love treating my black & white striped pieces as neutrals, then building a look from there. Just like neutrals black & white stripes go with just about any color and many different patterns too! I added a bright colored belt, shoes and geometric patterned scarf. I toned it down with opaque black tights, to keep it season/weather appropriate. Warning: This is a picture heavy post.

OOTD: Early Spring

 I can hardly wait 'til Springtime! The weather in St. Louis has been surprisingly nice lately. So, I was able to pull off this outfit in February. I paired this embellished cardigan with trouser jeans and espadrilles.

Bloggers Do It Better: RED

Happy Valentine's Day!

I wasn't going to participate in this BDIB challenge because I don't own a lot of red. However, this morning I put on this red v-neck sweater and managed to create a pretty decent outfit with it. I decided to go ahead and post it. I don't usually like the combination of red and black, so I added my favorite thing- leopard print! Or is it cheetah? What is the difference? Anyway, I love these Jessica Simpson calf hair booties. The thrifted clip-on earrings are also calf hair.

Disclaimer: The camera angle and lighting is terrible and my hair looks a mess. Forgive me. I wasn't planning on doing a post today.
