Out With The Old

  Got that winter blues? Well Spring fashion reports will be sure to cheer you up. With the snow piling on more than ever this week, Spring is the last thing on my mind. But when flipping through this month's Harper's Bazaar, I couldn't help but eagerly await this Spring. A season of new trends, emerging styles and bright colors, this Spring will be sure to impress.

Oh hey technicolor and flare jeans, we've missed you. They do say history repeats itself.. Bright colors are the in thing this Spring as they were back in the 80s. With styles coming back, who knows what's next. Soft satins, luscious lace, see through styles and a revolution of prints, this Spring will be filled with new trends. But how can they be worn off the runway? In small amounts as always! By adding some bright colors and different patterns to outfits, you could look like Anna Wintour herself. Bright makeup such as lips and eyes was a real trend on the runways, so who knows what we'll be seeing on the streets. A new season is always filled with new trends, so let's give Spring 2011 a warm welcome.

   You know it's a fashion revolution when designer Alexander Wang puts down the black fabric. Sending a refreshing new message, Wang based a whole collection on whites. With a few soft pastels, it's an optimistic feeling watching his runway show. Designer Rick Owens joined the clean trend too, with a collection featuring floor length skirts and pearl-toned tunics. Wait, did I say floor length skirts? Midcalf is the new hemline, ladies. From the Calvin Klein Collection to Narciso Rodriguez three-quarter length skirts have been making a statement. Because this will take a while to get used to, designers aren't basing whole collections off of this style. As you can see, fashion is rapidly changing this year.

With so many new styles, it's hard to know what you can still wear from last year. Here's a quick tip, if you can make it work, then wear it! You don't have to look like Agyness Deyn or Chanel Iman as long as you're looking stylish. As for Spring 2011 looks, don't be afraid to take risks with new fashion. New seasons call for experimenting. So take risks, be fashionable, but don't overdo it. Viva la Spring!
