Spring Trends: 2010
This will be the first of a series of 5 blog posts, posted sporadically, of looks that will be too hot to touch this spring! I'll start each post with a little background on the idea, and then get on to how to execute it! Today I'm doing outfit, and you'll just have to wait for the other 4!
Two trends that are the main part of this post are floral patterns and boyfriend blazers. I personally like if you have one or two trends, then add very basic clothing items- like plain flats or a white tee! This outfit is definitely something that I would wear to school with tights, and once it gets a little bit warmer without! So without anymore jibber jabber, here's the post! (At the end I have some suggestions for hair and makeup that would compliment this outfit- so keep reading!)
This whole look is very spring and floral and very spirit lifting- at least to me! The main points are the blazer, skirt, and necklace. This look can be paired with tights if its still cold in your area, and will look great without them! I suggest wearing your hair up and simple, because you wouldn't want to take away from the outfit. This look can be worn with very simple flats, but if you want something more intricate I have a suggestion at the bottom!
Floral skirt: This item it practically a necessity for spring! One HUGE trend is floral patterns, and this my favorite way to express that! This skirt has a band that's about as thick as four of my fingers and expands. I don't find the band uncomfortable or annoying, but that it defines the smallest part of ones waist. This one is from Forever 21, and I don't normally like to include prices but...IT WAS $8.50!! And it doesn't feel cheap at all!
Boyfriend Blazer:
This jacket is relatively new, but I already love it! As I stated in my Lauren Conrad makeup look, this is one of her staple clothing items- and I understand why! You could wear this with just about anything! This jacket does have a button, but I prefer to keep if open because it find it makes the jacket more casual. I suggest keeping your jacket a soft black, not too intense! I also suggest a shorter sleeve. My sleeve goes right below my elbow and is cinched. I like the sleeve and cinching because it gives the blazer a feminine twist! (See sleeve in second picture). I also added a plain white tee under because it makes the jacket stand out. I got my jacket from Nordstrom!
Chunky or Long Necklace:I love necklaces, and with a simple top- this spices it up! I chose to go for a chunkier necklace, but this look would also work with something longer- maybe layered necklaces? This one has a bunch of skinny strand that consist of brown/copper, bright blue, and green. I also love how it has different shaped beads! I highly suggest wearing jewelery that spices your outfit up, otherwise you can look boring. HINT: Don't add "spicy" jewelery when your top is loud and not simple, or else it will take away from the top!
Possible Shoes:
These flats would also be a great way to spice up the outfit because the lower part of your leg has nothing, maybe tights, but other than that- nothing! This look would do fine with plain flats, but if you want to go fancier I suggest a flat with a jewel or definitive design. As you can see in the second picture, these flats have a cluster of multi-shaped black jewels that lay on a bed of extra fabric. I love the purple color of these because it picks up the purple in the skirt!
Makeup: Keep it neutral and simple. Some concealer, bronzer, lipgloss, and a couple coats of mascara is the most you would need!
Hair: Try the Lauren Conrad braid, but after you braid pull your hair up into a ponytail. I have a post on how to do this braid, so go check that out!
And there you have it! This is only the first post- so stay tuned for the other four!
And tell me if you like fashion posts, because their fun to do!
Talk to you guys later
