Spring Into Style

   Lighten up that winter bitterness with spring 2011's brights, whites and lights.  Jeans are always a spring garment that can be worn into the rest of the year. Loose fitted, lighter jeans will be seen more commonly now as the weather gets warmer and the sun begins to shine. Ggold and white jewelry, citrus corals, deep oranges, tomato reds, dreamy blues, soothing greens, go-to grays and a touch of the'70s will all be evident in spring trends!

   What made the cut for this season's styles? Tunics, billowy blouses, maxi dresses, neutrals and nautical themes are taking the stage this spring. Returning trends that always seem to show up are skinnies, denim trousers and outerwear such as trench coats, anorak jackets and military inspired jackets. With clothing changing, footwear is also on the fast track to fashion.

   All heels will be in style, as always! But platforms and wedges are king this spring. With their beachy style, they welcome the warm weather without being too summery. We'll have to wait a couple more months before we start breaking out the sandals. But not every color shoe is trending, nude colors are taking over. They're easy to match to just about anything and with the neutral colors seen just about everywhere this spring, they're a perfect shade. It's time to strap on your best wedges and put your best food forward.

   Slip on your rain boots and watch out for mud because spring has sprung! New styles, seasonal trends and poppy colors will make this spring warm and fun. As we prepare for summer, styles become more relaxed and fit for better weather. Counting down the days until we're able to wear shorts and crop tops everyday, I suppose I'll settle for April showers and May flowers! Have a fabulous first day of spring and thanks for reading!
