Spring is here!

Leave a comment

As the weather gets warmer, its time to break out your Spring wardrobe.  It may be time for a wardrobe update and there are so many new trends this season to try! My friend, Kit, and I decided to try them out and mix them with our existing wardrobes. Here are our 5 favorites.

Trend #1:  Aztec Prints

Aztec

Aztec prints are huge this season! I paired this with a  simple black maxi and a statement necklace for a fun and easy look. This is a great way to try out the print before you dive in.

Trend #2: Crop Tops
Crop Top

Crops tops are another trend I’ve been seeing a lot of this Spring. Paring them with a higher waisted maxi skirt is a great way to rock a crop top without showing too much skin.

Trend #3: Fringe

Fringe

Fringe is in again! This is a trend that can be worn so many ways, from boots, purses, dresses and shirts, you can’t go wrong! I chose a black dress with fringe on the shoulders, this would be perfect for a girls night out!

Trend #4: Jumpsuits and Rompers 

RomperJumpsuits and Rompers are a great early spring trend for when its still … Read more!
